El Presidente Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Most of us have at least one What is the one box in your collection you would ditch tomorrow. Let us know the name and box code it applicable....and the reasons why
Puros Y Vino Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Easy. NC Partagas Black Label Toro. Bought them ages ago when I was just getting into cigars. Stronger than Turkish coffee. Not pleasant at all. A few friends that I peddled them off to enjoyed them but not me. I had one and nearly turned green. I have about 10 left. Maybe I should visit the trading forum??
mdzotti78 Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Trinidad Short Robusto T. Every single one I smoked so far has been a piece of crap. I picked it up when I was just starting out and regret it every day. I can't give these away.

No need to mention NC's they're all being dumped at a ICPCR fair for the moment in Las Vegas LOL LOL

BobKincaid Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Jose Piedra Cazadores. Awful. Just.Awful And I DID ditch them. Gave 'em away, threw 'em away. Just vile. No box code, cuz I ditched them, too.
laficion Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 What is the one box in your collection you would ditch tomorrow. None !!!!! If there's only one thing that I've learned in my years of cigars It's to never have one of those boxes in my collection in the first place.
Vortigan Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Jose Piedra Cazadores. I remember buying one of these back in the day when I was just starting out and pretty much trying singles of everything,I remember thinking it wasn't a bad smoke! I wonder what I'd think now!!!
headstand Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Too early to say with my collection as none of the boxes have much age on then. I'm prepared to be patient, however I have a box of Monte # 4s that will have to pick up the pace by this time next year or else...
dB69 Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Party P2 LRE SEP09. Nothing, just pure air. It's more easier to inhale smoke from those than from Marlboro lights. And most people say those are strong cigars!?! I have also had identical feeling with a piramide of a different marque last spring. In my wildest thoughts there is huge amount of bland tobacco which is used only for piramides and every cigar is manufactured by the same factory. The only difference is the band. Well, maybe the truth is not so black. I really smoked a strong and tasty piramide in 2005 and the marque was Monte. However, I won't give the box away, but will wait and see if they turn to something else even though I don't believe it.
MrGlass Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Bolivar PC TEB MAR 08. These cigars are my go to sticks if I need to give one to someone. I just don't really enjoy them. Even my girlfriend doesn't like me smoking these, as they don't smell as nice as the others.
jesseo81 Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Bolivar PC TEB MAR 08.These cigars are my go to sticks if I need to give one to someone. I just don't really enjoy them. Even my girlfriend doesn't like me smoking these, as they don't smell as nice as the others. I don't know what the exact box code was because I only received a single in a trade, but I recently had an extremely disappointing 08 Boli PC that couldn't hold a candle to the 10 Boli PC I had enjoyed just a couple weeks prior.
BobKincaid Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 I remember buying one of these back in the day when I was just starting out and pretty much trying singles of everything,I remember thinking it wasn't a bad smoke! I wonder what I'd think now!!! Y'know that manure aroma Ken's forever going on about? These were that, but not just in aroma. And they had an aftertaste like a green persimmon. They smelled like rotten meat when they burned. I suspect you'd be non-thrilled. I know they're lower cost, but I was shocked that a CC could REALLY be as awful as they were.
mm12 Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Siglo IV MEL ABR 08 Rolled WAY too tight. When I want to smoke one, I have to dig around in the box a bit to find one that's not overfilled. As soon as I need that space in my cabinet, the better specimens are going to my desktop and the rest to the trash.
MadMax Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 RyJ Duke! MOA SEP 09, Zero flavor! I think the next time I'm out bar hopping on the bike in Asbury Park, I'll throw the last two in Wesley Lake or right into the Atlantic!!!
Colt45 Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 None really - I've smoked or given away the baddies, and pretty much enjoy the rest. There best be no "ditchers" in my locker........
duwan Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Ah hell, this is an easy one. The first box of Cuban cigars I bought (if these even qualify as cigars). Guantanamera Minutos...No box code. Absolutely horrible.
CaptainQuintero Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Ah hell, this is an easy one. The first box of Cuban cigars I bought (if these even qualify as cigars).Guantanamera Minutos...No box code. Absolutely horrible. ouch
tdlfoto Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 RyJ Belicosos - pure bullocks I made the mistake of giving a friend traveling to Cuba some $ to buy me a couple boxes of specified cigars (not these!!!). Needless to say she got bamboozled into buying me the shite that Caracol couldn't unload to anyone else. I'm trying to think of an arts & craft project I could use them for...
kcheek Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 PSD4 box of 25 - OTS AGO 09 Great construction and dark wrappers but no flavor, just nothing there.
Guest leanderdsilva Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 A box of Gran Habano Azteca. It was third box to join my collection. Terrible terrible cigars!
CohibaBehike Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 A box of Celestial Finos, got them and 75% of them were absolutely plugged! I smoked them all (the ones that I could at least get a little something out of) and gave some of the ones that looked smokeable to a few friends. I have a second box that has been smoking fantastic. I had my box to get rid of and I burned them up within a few weeks just to get rid of them
seamus Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 None. If I have anything that's not smoking great I hold on to them hoping they will turn around, can't hurt as I wouldn't sell them. Plugged boxes I smoke though, never had a box 100% plugged. I won't spend much time with a plugged one though.
NitrousPurger Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 MPE october 09. Monte 4's. I get rid of them a little at a time... by giving them to people you couldnt tell you the difference between a cohiba and a swisher sweet. they have seemed to loose some of their harshness the longer they rest. Still not worth buying another box of however. Ive heard good stuff about the PSP monte 4's. Im sure I'd enjoy those more.
