I am surprised about all the Gurkha hate... I have had over a dozen of them and have found them to be very consistent and never had one that I didn't like.

And someone here said they took 2 puffs and put it down? Really? Even the best cigars sometimes start out funny.

I must be the Bizarro dwoodward... I have had over a dozen of them and never had one I did like. :-)

There's funny, there's rancid, and then there's "If I continue to smoke this I'll probably end up in the hospital / I question the cigars claim that this is made of tobacco."

I'd imagine the two puffer's are in the last category.

Keep in mind that I am new to all of this, but one day I was in my local smock shop and I bout a flavored Phillie Blunt...I forgot which flavor it was. That thing was horrid.

Haha, I don't think they are intended to be smoked as cigars, at least not the filler.

Gurkha tripel something or another. It had a sour/metallic taste to it. I guess it was like putting your loose change from your pocket in your mouth:-)

Professor Sila ....back in 1997 during the boom. It tasted like nothing, no flavor...well maybe some paper or something.

The White Owl Pineapple that I reviewed here:

Even the Lars Tetens Gorilla Finger and Cremosa Cuba were better than that cigar, or, at least I didn't get chemical burns from the smoke on them.

La Vieja Habana. Terrible. They were like gasoline infused turds.

Nasty

Some folks must like them, I am not one.

And some people like Pinapple infused White Owls, too! :-)

Once you get past the part about feeling like someone just poured liquid Draino all over your face and tounge, I'd say that the Pineapple White Owl is a decent cigar.

I started smoking cigars about a year ago and really have not had a "worst cigar". Though admittedly have not strayed far from what are generally considered good cigars.

Way back, before I started smoking cigars, I had what must have been hundreds of crappy cigars....though have no idea what they were.... They were the exact reason before last September, regardless of the cigar offered, I probably would have declined due to my previous experiences....


P.S. I was belly laughing at Tom's reviews.... Funniest thing I have read in weeks, maybe longer...

No, not really.

Now, if it were Liquid-Plumr, that's something I could get behind.
