I can honestly say there hasn't been a blend yet that I really hated. The only tobacco that I didn't finish was a pouch of Captain Black Gold... didn't hate it, just got tired of that vanilla smell so I gave it away.
I've tried to blend some of my own from component tobaccos, and some of those results were pretty wretched... but those don't count, right?

Well, I can't speak for McClelland because I haven't tried any of those yet, but I really dislike black cavendish. It can be fine with just a pinch in a blend, but that stuff straight, is just horrible to me. It's like smoking hot air.
1792 flake. My god that stuff is wretched. Smells and tastes like manure. The only tin I have ever thrown away after smoking a few bowls. Any/all cherry flavored drug store tobaccos are equally vile. I love every Peretti blend I've tried except for their cuban mixture. The aroma reminds me of that elderly person smell. uuuugh :x
Another vote for Borkum Riff whiskey. Ack!
Also the modern rendition of PA after it's sat around for awhile. Tastes like an old cigarette ash tray. Though I can stomach it in a newly opened pouch.

:rofl:
I wouldn't say I hate it, but I'm still trying to "acquire" the acquired taste of Perique.
This thread is so funny in that everyone has different opinions on these blends.
For instance, two years ago, I wold have agreed that Old Dublin was the worst thing ever. Now, though, it's a decent blend. Not my favorite but it has it's place in my varied rotation. I also like 1792. OK, I may be a pervert. I'm OK with that. It's not something I smoke often because it's so strong in the Vitamin-N department, but it's a unique blend which is a nice change of pace.
What a great thread!

Popsmusix OMG -- with due respect to your tastes, as flyguy said, most pipe smokers (myself included) would have been happy to take the Escudo off your hands for a trade or for a sale. Check out Briarbid.
2 things shock me here:
1. How few people mentioned Captain Black Cherry. It's like drinking Kool-aid, vomiting it up on tobacco, and then smoking it. Worst. Smoke. Ever. I thought it would be hard to beat Paladin Cherry, but the good Captain figured out a way.
2. Sherlock Holmes? That stuff is great! I smoke that and drink Earl Grey tea with it and it's one of the best experiences I have. I can't wait until late at night when everyone is in bed so I can relax and smoke it.
I'm a little surprised at Frog Morton's too. I've never smoked it but I'm dying to try it. That and Hobbit's Weed I think are going to be in my next order. That is, if my wife lets me live after the last few orders I snuck past her....
