Sticks that taste like goats ass

I had a great idea to create this section do to a high response of people saying that the Helix Maduro tasted like goats ass. So i thought to myself, "I would like to know what sticks other people think taste like goats ass, this would really help me discern if I wanted to buy these sticks or not". So i dont' know if it is my place to start something like this but here it is, an open invitation to post your all time least favorite sticks and a short description of why. The term "goats ass" is optional in describing the stick however highly prefered. With that being said, I will start things off. I think the Graycliff 1666 tasted like goats ass.

That's strange, especially since you like the Super Fuerte Maduro (if I remember right)

THE ITCSF NATURAL is the worst most chemical stick I have ever had the misfortune of smoking.

I would rather have had an Acid....

Odd. I've smoked 3 or 4 of them and they've all been very good.

I know I will piss a few people off with this one, but Perdomo just doesn't do it for me. They have a familiar taste that I don't care for. Some people have mentioned the same thing in Gurkhas. I don't mind the common taste among many of their smokes, but Perdomo... Goats ass...
I'm pissed! I love both these brands.... ;D LOL
Well I don't have anything against Gurkha, they make some great smokes like the Centurian and the Legend, so you can only be half pissed. LoL Perdomos still suck IMO. Of course I am one of the few who enjoy the Obsidian. The trick is to let them rest for close to a year. I've still got one with about a year and a half on it stashed away in my humi.
You're entitled to some opinions Jason, but about Perdomo you either say something nice or STFU!!! Just messin. Seriously though, you're not the first person I've heard say this, and while I really like Perdomo, I also realize that no two people have the same tastes...except for RP fans*, bunch of band-wagoners they are.

*Don't get your panties in a wad RP fans, not serious, just talking sh*t.

Alright alright Joe! Geez, who lit the fuse on your tampon? Haaaaahaa j/k bro! I will say the Perdomo ESV is a damn fine stick. I have one of the maduros left in the humi and everytime I start to reach for it I pull back because I remember it's the last one in there and has close to a year on it. I'll have to fire it up soon.

Puro Indio Veijo - worst f'ing cigar ever!
Silence heretic!!!!

Sorry Stephen gotta agree, just had my first one this afternoon and pure goats ass.

I just smoked the worst cigar in the world. I have NEVER thrown out a stick. I threw this SOB out half way through because I was about to puke. Padron 2000 tastes like you are licking a cigarette smoker's ashtray. Absolutely the worst cigar I have ever smoked in my life. THE WORST

Only cigar I've ever had to stop short was the El Mejor Espresso. Plenty of rest too.

That really surprises me. I have never heard anyone say anything bad about Padrons.

Worst i think i ever had was a MOW ruination.

Ok ok..not really. I havent had too many that were just awful. Probably a la gloria cubana though...was like choking on a muffler, but i havent had a 2nd one and that first one couldve just been a very serious humidity/airflow problem since i was smoking it in the car and the wind was hitting it fairly hard.

I have never heard a bad thing about Padron either. I am being 100% honest though. I hope it was just a random bad cigar.

If I may suggest a re-visitation......... try the Padron Maduro Delicias or Londres.

They will rock your world.

Jsnake lilwing88 is correct, I especially like the Londres, I have some in my humi that have been resting 6 - 8 years, yummi !! pm me your details and I'll send you a couple of sticks.

6 to 8 years! Holy Schmoly that has me drooling thinking about it. I sent a PM and will definitely revisit Padron. My bro-in-law loves them but said the 2000 is his least favorite. I have another one in the humi not sure which one it is though. If you feel inclined to send something I will definitely smoke it and report back. Heck I might do up a review on a review site with one.

JDN Celebracion....

Had one at the B&M tonight whilst herfing with Brotheradam.....this is pretty hard to say coming from a guy who has smoked a few boxes of Antano....the celebracion had a nasty metallic funk to it...couldnt even finish it.

24footjet

Jetmech... I had the same experience with the celebracion. I am very fond of the Antano, but the celebracion tasted kind of like what the inside of a rusted soup can would taste... well, maybe not that bad...

Thank god someone had the same taste....its just funky man...

To MrMoke and all other fans of Padron - I stand by my original statement. Padron cigars are the nastiest cigars I have ever smoked in my life. MrMoke sent me some sticks and I really appreciate it. Once again the Padron tastes like I am licking the inside of a cigarette ashtray. I will never try one of these again. Nasty. Pure goat's ass

MrMoke

lol, jsnake, sorry to hear I could not 'bring you into enlightenment'

!! Don't worry about it, I am just glad I was able to help you make the determination that you REALLY did not like Padron's and hadn't just got a duff stick. It just goes to show, we all have different tastbuds and perceptions about what tastes good and tastes bad, if this was not so we would not have such wonderful array of different cigars to choose from, because there would only be one or a few at most, that everyone liked if we all liked the same "taste"!!!!! I guess from this I have learned that when reviewing a cigar, reporting separately on the 'tangible' characteristics; construction, ash, burn, from the subjective 'tastes like cream pie', 'reminds me of my uncle's sweaty socks' etc kind of comments is going to be most helpful to fellow BOTLs since we are probably going to differ greatly in opinion on the latter.

jsnake

I really appreciate the sticks though and they did get smoked. My bro-in-law is a huge Padron fan and I shared with him. I am a huge fan of Gurkha and many people hate Gurkha. We just had a discussion on our CCom Blackberry chat group yesterday about how Lot 23 kicks one guys butt and I think they are mild. Other cigars that kick my butt have no effect on the same guy.

I am thinking about trying some of the non-brown label Padrons. They are so highly rated there has to be one I like. If I was to do a review on the Padrons I have tried I would have just not written it. I am not going to bash a cigar I think is terrible. If a cigar is lacking in certain areas and not fantastic I would write an honest review about it.

MrMoke

Totally with you on reviews and I would be interested in what you think of the 'non brown label' Padron's, I haven't tried any of them yet, I just liked the Londres and kept smokin em. I guess I should try em too, be nice if CCOM did a 5 pack or sampler (hint, if the beard is reading!!). Maybe I should offer a swap? might be someone out there that hasn't tried the brown labels! BTW, I have not yet smoked a Gurkha but have several different in my humi I got off CCOM recently and a Lot 23 I got in a sampler, actually just noticed I have some Legends I put in the humi exactly 90 days ago today, so am gonna fire one up tonight

I correct myself, it's a Gurkha Gold i'm firing up tonight.

I would be interested in knowing how you feel about the Padron '64th Anniversary Jake.

Also, the guy he was referring to from the BBM Chat Group about the Lot 23 was me, and it seems Hays is in agreement with me. The Perdomo Lot 23 knocks me on my a$$ every time I smoke it, even if i've had food, but I can smoke such full-bodied sticks as the Diesel, Cain, Camacho 3X Maduro and Corojo, 5 Vegas 'A' and CSII, and Gurkha Titan/II and Beast without breaking a sweat.

The one time I even felt like I was gonna fall over or even pass out from smoking the Perdomo. I love it though.

On topic though, there's only 3 cigars that I can recall that I've smoked that tasted like licking a goat's ass:

Ashton Cabinet Maduro
Ccom Corojo Label (sorry Ccom)
Macanudo (Macadoodoo) Maduro

The Macadoodoo and Ashton were the worst of the three because they wouldn't draw or burn correctly either. Like trying to suck a baseball through a garden hose.
