Worst cigar you've ever smoked

Gurkha trident. Won't stay lit, when it does the burn is awful. Not to mention the awesome flavor of burning cardboard.

I hear they recently got marked down from $500 a box to $8 a fiver though.

"La Finca". Finca must translate to sour vomit hay.

I actually like the flavor of the La Finca, but the Corona has a terrible draw.

For a long time it was a Romeo y Julieta reserva (nc) that came in a gift set with a flask. The most sour cigar I've ever had. Silver lining, a nice leather wrapped flask.

A few years ago I was handed a Pirates Gold. I literally had 5-6 puffs and wanted to throw up. I would rather have sweat from a true bum drip in my mouth than one of those. Vile things. That's the worst by far.

Teehee, I've never tried one, but those things sell like CRAZY!

Mutineer Black Label, it is an extremely rare thing for me to put out a cigar, I always want to give it a chance to redeem itself in the final third...I couldn't make it through this one.

My worst I feel I should give a second chance because they get good reviews, and people seem to like them:

CAO Brazilia

I picked it up at a liquor store along with some Atlantico rum.

The only way I can describe it is sour milk.
I made it half way and gave up because I felt like I fell for a practical joke.
I tried rinsing the taste out of my mouth with listerine, only to get the taste of sour milk and listerine stuck in my mouth.

CAO has come up quite a bit in this thread, myself included.

Well I know a lot of people enjoy them. I try to shy away from these threads, because had that cigar been gifted to me, I would have felt like a jerk, but at the same time it's interesting how many varied opinions there are. I'm willing to try again, it may have just been a bad stick sitting in a poor glass display humi.

[AuTechCoM]

For me I would have to say it is a toss up between the Macanudo Hyde Park and something out of a glass top box.

*****EDIT*****

Oh wait I almost forgot about the CAO VR Mural. That was just godawful .

I have to add another that gets praise, but I found to be possibly one of the worst I've ever tried...

JDN Cabinetta. Juan Martinez says it's his go-to smoke, and I love that guy. But to be honest this cigar made my head hurt and tasted like the smoke from burning leaves in your yard. I'd like to try it again and hope it was just a dud, because I absolutely LOVE the Red and the Antano 1970, but wow was that cigar bad.

I was also really bummed out by this smoke. I like the Red and 1970 (but not the Dark Corojo). I have a couple left that will probably sit in my humi for a long, long time.

I had the worst cigar I've ever smoked last night. I actually put it down after less than inch it was so bad. The only description I can offer is it tasted like smoking a used diaper. It was gifted to me at a dinner/cigar event at a local winery. The owner of the winery knows nothing about cigars and there was no band. It was a maduro wrapped toro described only as a "Dominican maduro". Decent looking stick, well constructed but yee gawd what a horrible experience.
