    That sounds terrible. I have yet to find a cigar I want to buy a bundle or box of. You can say I have committment issues.

    Bought a bundle of Tabintillas. Started to smoke the first one, couldn't get past the 4th draw or so, it tasted like I was smoking mud and dung coated tobacco leaves. I gave them to my brother who loved them. I now question his taste :P

    There has been a few for me actually---but the worst I would have to say was the Baccarat back when I first started smoking.

    I bought these too, but my feelings were just ... meh. I'm not one to throw away something that I can turn to when I just can't make up my mind.

    I haven't purchased a bundle or box that I could say is the "worst". If I had to make a list of which I liked the most to least, Calle Ocho would be at the bottom 4 sho. But I'm pretty sure The Beard gave me an incredible deal on them, so for the value it definitely raises their status...

    Hmmm...

    ... meh.

    I smoked about 5 or 6 of them before I tossed them, yard gard at best for me.

    I've never had a bad experience, luckily. There's a first time for everything though.

    Rosa Cuba. Picked up a bundle for like $20 NC. Most disgusting thing I've ever tasted. I gave them to all the fellas I work with when my daughter was born. It was funny listening to some of these guys as they smoked them. "This is delicious!" "I could get used to cigars!" "These are fantastic!"

    The only people I didn't give a cigar to were two friends of mine that also enjoy cigars.

    Carlos Torano Dominicos, I have been giving them to my son who is a noob smoker. The other was something called 1876 reserve or something like that.

    Carlos Torano Dominicos...
    Which one the old school maduro or the new blend?
    IMHO the maduro was the worst stick I ever had.

    RP 1990 seconds. I'm glad it was only a 40 dollar mistake.

    I have two. Bought a box of something by Victor Sinclair. Half were so tight that I couldn't even get them lit. The other half that did light tasted like poop. Another stupid purchase was the Felipe Gregorio Series 1957. I didn't know that "dry hot" was a flavor.
