Well after 3 whole seconds of deliberation its gotta be the dog rocket... Vasco Da Gama Corona... a dry cheap tacky disgusting stick that tastes like cardboard... Hmmm bought a box of 25 for about 30 Euros and still have 13 left, boy oh boy i could have got a couple of decent Partagas D4's for the same price.. Oh well not much of a loss
fuck me eggy at that price they were not likely to be the smoothest cigar out there lol

I bought a 5-pack of Jose L Piedra Cazadores when I started buying to try a few out.
Most of them unravelled; a couple burned really unevenly; all had very poor draw with little smoke and what little smoke I could taste was rancid and hung around the mouth for a few days afterwards, despite rinsing with Deep Heat mixed with rusty steel swarf.
Those villigers were disgusting, unless I had a bad couple of tubes, they just weren't nice to smoke and were tossed like a german stick grenade [/QUOTE]
Have to agree with MrB here. We went into Maldon at the weekend, and deciding on a brisk stroll along the Causeway I bought a pack of Villiger Premium Tubos. Two to a pack and a legend on the side says that they're made from 100% Cuban tobacco. Absolute SHITE. Two puffs and I wanted to toss it. Four puffs and into the Blackwater it went. Didn't bother trying the other one, that went into a municipal waste-bin, packaging and all!
One of the worst CC and the biggest disappointment so far was a Punch Monarcas, spongy feel and tasted chemical. Surely this was bad luck but unfortunately my only experience with this fabled vitola
Don`t worry about it Jaques, I had the same experience; horrible cigar.
Canary Island brand brought appropiratley by my mother-in-law. CC Quintero Nacionales has my lowest score, no discernable taste at all, had one & gave the rest away. Had very tight HdM Maries, that turned me blue & the Fonseca range don't do anything for me at all.

Wintermans Corona DeLuxe. Managed half of it...just...and took great pleasure in watching it burn in the firepit. Guantanamera Cristale was smokable, but won't be buying anymore, even at the low price! Punch Petit Corronation was awful, but only tried the one.
Anything from Villager I've tried has made me want to sand my tastebuds off.
