Of these choices, I wouldn’t even say I dislike Punch the most, as much as I would say that I like it the least. Tough call between Punch and RYJ but Punch for me....I just had a RYJ cedro and that was actually pretty decent so it swayed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillys Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Voted RyJ, but probably because I haven't had a really good one out of a fairly small sample size. Just not a marca I have explored yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only ones in my humidor are a Canadian RE, very good cigar but it just isn’t a brand I think to explore. No good reason but it’s always been that way.

ErikB72 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I voted Cohiba. I always keep trying , I really do , and it’s not that I haven’t had any good ones , and aged ones , and I visited El Laguito and it was really nice , and yet , and yet ...the brand just doesn’t do it for me I’m afraid... which makes it’s super premium luxury aura all the more (dare I say it) irritating to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99call Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Cant help put think if R&J only had 4 cigars 2x Savoury Royales & Cazadores 2x Sweet Churchill & Exhiition No 4 There would be a great deal more people here that would love the Marca. it's just all the dead weight that makes people switch off. Romeo & Julieta is like that terrible restaurant, thats right next to an out of the way tourist attraction. Because of it's recognisable name, it's doesn't even have to try. it has a captive audience. Even if they dipped them in crap, they would still fly out of the airports. It's all your fault Winston!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedame007 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Leave Punch alone! He’s a delightful creature, who has already suffered a deep cleansing by Habanos ?! I always get treated like a beast when I say this but...Partagas is for me the most overrated one! I have smoked my way through the range, tried all sorts of ages and LEs but I find the flavours boring, and utterly offensive! *Mic drop* 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayHabanos Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I would say Romeo y Julieta- not my favorite from this list Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandboy Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 The list pretty much sums up all the Marcas I like the most, so I’m afraid I’m out on this one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireMedic Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 See after reading responses after my vote I realized something, I should have voted Cohiba. I voted RyJ because there are a fair amount of misses from them for me, but there hits are solid. Somebody said reduce the offerings to 4 and they'd be money, I agree. Cohiba for the ridiculous price does not find value for me, I've had great Cohiba but the cost is absurd. Anyway my 6 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotboxx Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I'm superstitious..i wouldn't vote on this if you paid me. a discontinued marca would instantly become my favorite, resulting in anger, frustration, resentment followed by irrational purchases of the filthy tobacco sausages that are no longer being made. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldEasy Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I’d say that the cigars I’ve found most offensive were all Partagas, though a few vitolas seem to generally be decent or more to my taste. In contrast, I’ve never had a RyJ that I really hated, but I’ve also never had one I liked. I will probably try different partagas vitolas at some point. I would be fine if I never smoked another RyJ for the rest of my life. Hence my vote goes for Romeo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Can't vote. I've had great smokes from every one of these. Crappy ones too. It would be just as hard to ask which I liked most. You could have at least included Guantameras........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanMcLean68 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I picked Bolivar. I don't dislike Bolivar, in fact I like a good BBF or an aged PC or RC, but out of the major brands listed, it's the brand I least connect with. It is the earthiness especially in younger cigars that I don't identify with. I like aged PC when the earthiness gives way to more chocolate notes, and I like the strength and complexity of a good BBF. Is there some reason we are choosing between the major global brands and the biggest of the regionals (?? I'm not actually sure if they are) ?

TheMonk Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 From the above, a really easy choice for me - Hoyo. Only really enjoy a couple of vitolas, and even those are much better for me in other marcas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man D'olin Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Trinidad- even though it's not on the list. I smoked a Vigia tubo the other day that I would only share with an enemy- cloying and wind-tunnelly. I adore the Reyes, and the Fundadores can be extraordinary-but "can be" is the operative term. I know this is heresy, but I got too much sleep last night and I can't stop myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbenham73 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 @El Presidente it was 2 or 3 sticks that I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightonCorgi Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Partagas is too much of a shadow of its former self, or at least in my mind. The EL's and Reserva's are great, but they just don't get me excited as when I first started smoking cigars. I figured Upmann would get the least votes. Nice to see that. I can see many votes for R&J, but they've turned the marca around big time in the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitola Corleone Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 To posters who genuinely dislike a marca -- Did you used to like it? Did the dislike grow on you? I'm about 10 years into cigars but < 1 into CC's, and every! single! one! is magical in its own way. Can only dream of the day when I say, no thanks, I've had enough of how you get rosewater and cherries out of burned tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorangutang Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Cohiba. Tried a lot of Vitolas and never been impressed. Far too lackluster for the money.In their price range I would expect near perfect consistency too - and in my experience they don’t deliver on that either.Only exception being medio siglo, which I have enjoyed.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin865 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I don't dislike any marca. I only one I am indifferent about is Cuaba. It is one I can take or leave it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltte Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Cohiba for me. I never smoked any good. In the same time I'm really enjoy Shorts and Clubs. On second thought I'm not sure that I ever smoked a genuine one ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
