Game: Name a cigar youve NEVER heard a bad word about.

Vidarien

I thought this would be an interesting departure from normal review discussions. The premise basically is: Name one cigar you've never heard anyone speak badly about. The rules basically are that you cant have heard anyone ever have a negative comment about this cigar, aside of very minor non-flavor issues (things like "slight burn issue" or "slight construction issue" etc.) I think the development of this list could be interesting as usually everyone has heard one person speak badly about some cigar some time or another. Interesting to see if any contradictions show up.

Oh Phooey, The king of tar has spoken. How bout......hmmm....never heard anything bad about Onyx.

I know that recently some on here said they didn't really care for the 5 Vegas Gold. I thought somebody was a bit underwhelmed by the Camacho Triple Maduro. Also, I think some may have disliked the Gurkha Beast.

Hmmm, don't remember hearing anything bad about the Ashton VSG, Padron 1926, or the Don Carlos (j0z3r doesn't count, he'd get tar buildup on a milkshake straw).

I have been getting more than my share of tar buildup lately, what's up with that? And I didn't mean that to say the Don Carlos isn't a good smoke, I think it is in fact, I've just been unlucky enough to have problems with some that I've smoked. Come June, I'm looking to make that right, my #3's will have a year on them and ought to be in prime condition.

The one smoke I don't remember hearing anything bad about is the Fuente Hemmingway. That is one of the most dependable solid smokes on the market in my mind.

Think I remember someone saying that they didn't like the red label, and I know someone didn't like whichever label has the Brazilian wrapper. Let's see, don't recall anyone saying they didn't like 5 Vegas Classic or Nub Cammie.

as a line of cigars they have a mixed filler. Im ok with that but the ash will get ya if you dont pay attention. they also have little to offer in the way of complexity but at that price point, how can i ***?

I have. I just didn't care for the blue and purple labels. I just didn't like the flavors. All the rest are really good though.

Well you are just a picky b***h Kuz! haha kidding, but I'm with ya, I'm not a fan of the 5 Vegas Gold, but I do enjoy the Classic. I am curious what was it about the Hemmingway you didn't like though.

Ok i read kuzi's critique very carefully, and im going to say these passed muster: Ashton VSG 5 vegas classic GOF Padron 1926 Com Trip Maduro 5 Vegas Miami CAO Black And i wouldve put this in list format if i could, but, my enter key doesnt give me a line break anymore, and it all turns into one big box of text, and i dont know why.

Garen B

Vid, do this for a line break >br> >br< That sticks a blank line in between your paragraphs. Just flip the signs so that the openings point in towards br. And Kuzi, you made me cry a little inside. I liked or want to try most of the cigars you just lambasted.
