earthson Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Juan Lopez PC. Were about 3-4 years old at purchase, if I remember correctly. Well stored and constructed, but just an awful, somewhat bitter, uninspired, "dry" flavor. Tasted Cuban with some nuances here and there, but nothing I found appealing. Smoked most, but traded the rest away. Wouldn't even want to try another JL after that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MountMandolin Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'd say that passing up on two boxes of Boli GMs, offered to me at $165 total (for '08 sticks, for that matter!), was a massive mistake. I really should have bought up every box of BGMs I could find back when they were everywhere. I still see them occasionally, but much more rarely; besides, they're getting close to a sort of time limit beyond which cigars sometimes start to fade. But yeah. More BGMs, even though I didn't have the money; hell, I could have taken out a line of credit, amirite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackham Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 1) buying 4x Guantanamera at $2.00 each when I first started cigars, I thought they were a good deal 2) not buying the LGC jar because I was carrying 50x cigars with me already and worried that I'd get in trouble with customs if I brought more over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosgate Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 This is my worst one. I still cant get the taste out of my mouth. http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=117552&hl=%2B80+%2Bring+%2Bmonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfall Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Any NC ever. Luckily I haven't had one in 5 years! I wasn't really "smoking" many of them because I never reached for them before CC's. I owned a lot of them. All the ones that people seem to like. A lot of Padrons, Tats, ect. Sold about 500 sticks in one large sale back in 2010 on Craigslist to a tobacco shop wanting to add quality cigars to their inventory. Best thing I ever did. I'd rather smoke a mediocre CC than a " tauted" NC any day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dflan82 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Plenty of NC cigars that were less than desirable, but I had a good idea of what to expect based on a low price. Probably the worst cigar I have ever had was a young Montecristo No. 4. I purchased this from a reputable retailer, but it had a sour/metallic taste to it. Total let down!

RickHendeson Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm up to my eyeballs in Dirty Rats, Raztilla's, L40's, Flying Pigs, Ferral Flying Pigs, UF4's, UF13's, A's, and Velvet Rats (ok, only 1 Velvet Rat). Past my eyeballs in T52's and LP No. 9's. Too many Crowned heads everything...too many Tatuaje everything... I do smoke these about once a week but at this rate I will be 200 years old before I get through the NC stash I bought before I discovered CC's. Precisely the same story here and I was preparing to make this my regret when I read yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBaron Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Pretty much every single penny left on cbid. Could have been a few CC boxes instead... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgravito Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 While I was still new to CC I overpaid for a box of Monte 4 from an individual because it still had the bar code intact. A mostly bland and flavorless box with a couple (and by couple I mean 2) outstanding sticks. You live and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckSARTech Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Worst cigar purchase mistake? Uhhhh....starting to smoke cigars. And loving them. Worst. Mistake. On wallet. Ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eswary Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'll be honest in saying I'm not sure I've had a cigar mistake. Only reason I say this is because all experiences or purchases I have learned something from. Whether it was good or bad, whether I liked or disliked something, or whether I realized I paid too much or I got a good deal. The most important I guess is learning something from those experiences and not making them again if they were negative. But to answer the question, probably paying way too much for LE Tatuaje cigars 2 yrs ago. Pretty sure I paid for the "unicorn status" rather than badass cigars. They looked cool in my wineador, but didn't stack up to some of the regular production stuff. A lot of cult culture there IMO. Great question and discussion, thanks for the input.

SMQQKIN Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Paying $475 for a 10 box of Cohiba Maduro Genios in London Heathrow Airport about 4 years ago. I didn't realize the availability of CCs online yet. I can't bring myself to smoke one because I would just be throwing salt in the wound. They are hidden in the far back corner of my humidor cabinet & were also in my mind until this topic came up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke Them The genios is not a cigar that is really ever going to get any better than 4 years. If they are a great box then you may love them and it would be a shame to learn in a decade that they had expired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zrotfus Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Like many others here it's the money I wasted diddling around on Cigarbid. The cigars that stand out the most for me is the 10 count box of EP Carillo Short Run Cubras I bought blind. Ugh they were terrible. Could barely give them away. Think I honestly just threw the last one out cuz I hated seeing it in the humi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmitch Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Box of Alec Bradley Maxx Box Press Churchills. They were **** when I got them in '09 and have only declined to unsmokeable now. 2 nd worse is a box of '98 Punch Coronas I got from an individual who was 'paring down his vintage collection'. Dowel pins is what they are. Plugged top to bottom. Unsmokeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaphod42 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 An incredibly plugged box of LGC Tainos, maybe 2 were actually smokeable. And a 50 count of Punch SS#1, not because they're bad but because I'll probably never get through them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallclub Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 And a 50 count of Punch SS#1, not because they're bad but because I'll probably never get through them all. Why? You don't like them? It should be very easy to sell them then... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
