        It's hard to comment on this thread without any bias, as obviously my opinion is just that - my experiences based on the smokes i've had - one man's junk another man's treasure...

        BUT in the interests of being extreme I have to say i would gladly eradicate the entire RyJ line* - vapid, flavourless, dross...

        (*Except the Churchill...man that stick is tasty!)

        Too far...
        Only the impossible is worth the effort.

          Mine too was one of the Inca range, though I think it was the tubed one, the name escapes me now. Impossibly tight draw, decent enough flavours from the little I got, but the whole puffing until my cheeks hurt ruined it for me.

            Some to avoid

            So having perused the notebooks here are a few NCs I have learned to avoid

            Ventura Project 805 - Peppery, boring and binned before the first ash fell
            Macanudo Gold Hampton Court - cigarette like
            Cohiba Red Dot - bitter and unpleasant
            Viaje torpedo - cigarette like
            Blend 17 petit corona - just boring
            Maria Mancini Classic Perfecto - cigarette again
            Alonso Menendez - got bitter at halfway
            Petrus Sublime panatella - mouthful of pepper
            Man of War Ruination - meh
            Azul robusto - harsh and peppery
            Diesel lancero - harsh mineral flavour
            Caldwell Eastern Standard - too peppery
            Leccia White - harsh and peppery
            Leon Jimenes corona - harsh and peppery
            La Aurora Escogidos - just boring, no flavour
            Colon Especiales - nasty little cigar that tasted of tar
            Partagas 1845 Black Label - bland leathery taste
            Bolivar Corrida corona - disgusting harsh smoke
            Macanudo Maduro Diplomat - nasty earthy flavour with a hint of beetroot

            Obviously these are my personal observations that I wrote down after smoking them or ditching them. You may like peppery cigars or even a hint of beetroot!

                NC Jungle!

                Thanks to your copious notes, muchacho, you have assembled quite an extensive list of NCs to avoid.

                Navigating the NC jungle looking for that diamond in the rough can be a tall task, to be sure, but the good ones are out there. It just that there are so darn many NCs on the market it can be a chore getting past the bad to get to the good. But worth the effort, IMO. And with a list like PJ's, it's become a much easier chore, indeed.



                Now, senor PJ....how about a list of those NC you found to be enjoyable?

                    I'm not surprised that one was nasty with a name like Colon!

                      who's going to crosscheck PJ's list with the Cigar Officionado's top smokes? Eh?

                        Ive had some underfermented dutch cigars which still looked green. Tasted like vomit. Left them in a cupboard for a year and they changed colour. Actually tasted ok in the end. They are the only stick that has ever made me feel physically sick. They were called willem II

                          Yeah, I'd have thought you would have anticipated that disaster by following your gut instinct PJ.
