Which Brands Are You Done With?

My only complaint about CC's is the fact that they cost too much. A common fallacy. I can find a cigar I enjoy for a lot cheaper, and I don't have to risk them being confiscated on thier way to me :) Can't argue that.

There are many, and I do mean many, Cuban cigars that are less expensive than the popular NC brands.

I have a few boxes of assorted sticks that I have picked up here and there just to try out. As often as not I will grab one on the way out, smoke it and then realise that I do not intend to ever buy that particular brand again.

Here are a few of the most recent -

Joya De Nicaragua, La Gloria Cubana, Pepin, all CAO's, Gurkha.

Anybody else thinning the herd?

I enjoy all those you listed except Gurkha. A couple years ago I got a mega sampler from CI and didn't find a single one that I'd buy again. I think I ended up trading them all away.

I've also never got into Davidoffs.

And about 99% of the stuff sold at JR.
 
I'm done with Gurka except for the Doble Maduro.
CAO
Puros Indios
Most any product sold by Altadis or General Cigar except the Punch Rare Corojo and the Excalibur Dark Knight II
Other than that, there are a few blends I won't order again from many manufacturers. The RP R4 is one example. :pu

That's what I meant to imply by saying 99% of stuff sold at JR. I find most of the Altadis/General stuff bland and not at all interesting. About the only thing from them that I enjoy are the RyJ Habana Reserves.
 
Hey guys, I'll be more than happy to take all of your RP and Victor Sinclair cigars. I've been very happy with purchases under both of those brands.

My brand that I'm done with is 5 Vegas. Everyone I've had has been garbage. I still have a few left in the humi that I'll let age for a bit to see if the flavor gets any better.
 
I'm not sure there's any brand I'll never buy again. One never knows what the next blend will bring.

As far as Gurkha goes, I was able to smoke most I have tried. I never put one out after smoking less then an inch like I have with a couple Pepin blends.

I have 7 left of a Gurkha that I drool over whenever I open the humi. I don't smoke them often because once there gone I can't replace them.
 
And I'll be a willing recipient of any Gurkhas!

The only brands that I have yet to find a good cigar in are Oliveros and RyJ.
 
Don Kiki red labels.. i think i just bought too many of them at once.. just gonna have to let them chill in the humi for, oh a year :2
 
I am done with Piedra. Charming budget smoke, but I simply smoked too many on an almost daily basis during the last two and a half years. Their inconsistency was also rather frustrating.
 
Haha this thread makes me sad! All my favorites have been listed:
CAO Blacks
Rocky Patel Edge
Gurkha Legends
Arturo Fuentes

My brands to never buy:
Gispert
Fonseca
Drew Estates (except an occasional kuba kuba)

If I ever meet Jonathan Drew, I might just have to punch him in the face. I bet he's a nice guy, but his cigars suck. I just spent $50 on an Acid sampler tin. So far, I've tried 7 of the 14 sticks in it, and hated all of them. What a waste of $50 that I could have used to buy some Arturo Fuentes.

I've also tried the Java Latte (hated it), Natural Juicy Lucy (hated it too).

I'm just not a fan of the Drew Estate stuff.

I'm not a fan of the ones you mentioned, don't like the sweet, flavored, scented stuff. BUT! I do like La Vieja Habana Early Years, and I REALLY like the new Liga Privada! Don't give up on Drew Estates, just change what you are smoking! (Besides, I think Jonathan might punch back!):)
