El Presidente Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 We did "Old Faithful" last weekend....this weekend we look at his evil twin....the Nemesis Cigar. Nemesis Cigar = that cigar that you have never come to grip with, that cigar that you have never really liked, that cigar that has never lived up to expectation......that maybe has been given its final chance and failed.....or maybe this is its final chance. It can be Cuban or non Cuban. Maybe just maybe....the cigar will rise like a phoenix Review your Nemesis cigar and go into the draw for a Christmas Sampler. Start a new thread in the Waterhole. Use this format: Ramon Allones Specially Select UEB OCT 18 (NRW) Add a photo or two A detailed review + score it in your own way. If you don't have a date code, give us a year. To be drawn Wednesday local time! Have a fantastic weekend NRW = Nemesis Review Weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only had one "bad" Bolivar and that was a turd in a gold wrapper. All vitolas were always spot on in terms of construction and flavor. Ironically if I have a "Nemesis" brand it is Ramon Allones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigcars Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 *FUENTE FUENTE OPUS X. I have tried and given this cigar chance after chance - nuthin' for me as far as anything except "Ordinary." VERY ordinary. Didn't do a thing for me. I'm happy so many of my fellow Aficionados LOOOVE this cigar so...was able to trade mine for some very good regular production and even some special release Habanos for them. It's no use. I know it's a quality smoke and well done. I even acquired The Lost City Opus X - no real "oomph" or "umph" for me here. I didn't hate it - like I did the Vegueros Manitana or especially Fonsca KDT or Cosacos - BLEHHH. So keep on truckin' with it, y'all. No top fan of this cigar here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panhead Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I know you going to think I’m crazy but Montecristo #2 Is my nemesis cigar. My first experience was from a 25 count box from 2005. The most recent purchase was In September. I decided to give it one more try and bought a three pack from France. The problem I had is the inconsistent taste. They are either plugged or have burning issues. The problem could with be me, haha , but the five times that I smoked them it ended poorly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
