[El Presidente]

hey...they are all at the festival. They will never know.

Your "Take This Cigar And Shove It" of the last 15 years.

The one you really looked forward to. the one that even upon second and third trying you went WTF?

"Dear HSA....Take this cigar and shove it"

.......input HERE

Smiley face a given

[Ken Gargett]

monte C?

cuaba?

[ayepatz]

Punch Medalla d'Oro.

[Puros Y Vino]

All of Cuaba. Kill the line, put some perfectos in Marcas that don't have one. Namely Cohiba.

And to the Cohiba 50th's for being so out of reach for the majority of smokers. Then again, the Behike for the 40th wasn't exactly affordable upon release either.

[brschoppe]

Cohiba IV

ERDM Infantes, what a joke.

Shove all those plugged cigars!!!

It's disgraceful that we have come to accept variations in quality, even if it is just the odd one! If it was any other type of product, we would scream in their faces and demand a refund. Well I would lol.

Imagine buying a DVD, only to find that the movie cuts off halfway though. Their position is that they manufacture so many thousands of them, that there are bound to be a few rejects. Unfortunately, because you've already watched it (half of it), you cannot get your money back. Learn how to roll a cigar, or just burn in hell!

PS - thanks for the 'rant' thread, I feel better now.

[DrunkenMonkey]

Cohiba Maduro line, save the secretos.

[CaptainQuintero]

At the moment the Asia pacific QDO RE, I want to love them so much but the construction is just horrendous; underfilled hot wind turds. You almost have to fold them in half (lengthways) to close the draw enough to smoke them

[DBeets77]

Guantanamera anything

[GasGuy82]

Monte Edmundo

[losttrailer]

+ 1 for the QdO Asia Pacifico RE

[alloy]

Diplomatico Bushido. What an underwhelming huge expensive piece of tobacco!

[PigFish]

Go back 16 years and list every cigar in the catalogue. Subtract from it all the cigars that are currently made, less coronas, petit coronas and lonsdales, 42 ring cigars and under. Those are the cigars that they should have kept making....

Tabacuba... you can shove the rest of them!

I mean of effin' stupid is it to make a petit piramides and charge more than what the pyramids costs? Soon the stupid bastards are going to make a cigar that is wider than it is long...! What is worse, some nut-job will buy it!!!

[riazp]

Killing the DIP 4 and 5. WTH HABANOS???? Diplomaticos and RA have 4 reg productions sizes between them, but have god knows how many RE's with their bands on them. Pitiful.

[archosaur]

HSA please shove all your Petit Robustos!

Since these have the approximate proportions of a suppository, this shouldn't be that difficult to manage...

Disappointed in the allones eminencia in particular ... Had one last night ... I so want them to be a great cigar and they are just good cigars . Large failure for the very first regional edition .

Smoking these ... You have to wonder how the RE's got so popular .

Kinda glad now I have so few RE's in my stash .

Spot on, I concur! (Especially in regards to Diplomatico No.4's and 5's!)

cuaba?

All of Cuaba. Kill the line, put some perfectos in Marcas that don't have one. Namely Cohiba.

I agree that Cuaba has been too inconsistent due to construction issues. It's a shame, because when you get a well-constructed box of Cuaba they can be a good, complex (flavour-wise) smoke.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa WHOA! That's one of my top RE! It's not the Robustos de Larranaga, but it might be some day (but probably won't - those robustos were magnificent!)

Mine is the Monte Petit Edmundos. Fail to see the hype.

Chopping the lines down to nothing creates hype and knee jerk buying due to fear of missing out and collectability. Rereleasing of nonexistent brands and discontinued vitolas leads to selling out. For cigars that don't sell, rereleasing with jars and ashtrays has been a beneficial marketing strategy.
