Wow Neil. That's quite the lineup of low budget stinkers (except the My Father, of course).
It will be interesting to see what Rich has to say about them in the reviews!

Corey is right about the Encore  

The Magicos Cubanos ... I had a couple, and had to look after every puff to see if it was still lit.
Kinda like smoking air.

The LEC ... I have to disagree with Corey about how bad it is. IMHO the Encore easily beats it for worst ever.
Plus, if you don't mind letting it rest for a whole bunch of months, the LEC might turn into a chocolate bomb for you. Mine did.

a chocolate bomb?  Hopefully not the kind you'd see in a German porn flick.

Armin, I take exception to your comment.  I spent at least $5 on the Gurkha Dragon.    It's a mid budget stinker.

Ummmm, Nice bomb? I spy some thompson exclusives. You should be thankful they went through that hell to get those sticks for you.

I've had a few of those:

Don Lugo Natural Robusto - not a horrible mixed filler stick as long as you don't pay more than $0.70 a piece.
My Father Le Bijou Short Robusto - had one that was great and one that was meh.
Encore Churchill - worst looking cigar ever... and top 5 worst tasting, too.
Victor Sinclair Triple Corojo Toro - I actually liked this blend when I first started smoking. Now it's a big meh.
La Estrella Cubana - Worst. Cigar. Ever.
Alta Gracia Natural Cigarillos - like smoking a twig wrapped in a blunt wrapper

I still like that VS Triple Corojo, but then again I like the flavor of Corojo.  Having never had any of the others in the list, and not really having any ambition to try them for that matter, I can't comment.  Well not with any authority any way...

I like the VS Triple Corojo as well.  The Don Lugo is one of the very few Thompson brands that are worthy of smoking.
