I agree. Yorktown sucks! Pretty bad.
What is the Worst Pipe Tobacco You have ever Smoked?

I was flabbergasted that it tastes like bubble gum. ? ?
I don't dislike it, though.
I’ve smoked some bad tobacco over the years. Occasionally I’ll give it a 2nd attempt... 3rd at the most and then pitch it. Most recently I remember not liking Escudo Navy Deluxe, which I was surprised as it’s highly rated. Perhaps I got a bad tin, but I could not get through a 2nd bowl of it?
Royal Yuck. I would rather have my ball sack stapled to the floor by a rivet gun whilst being ar*e f*cked without a reach around by a bisexual garden gnome wearing a barbed wire condom then ever smoke that stuff again. It has a flavor that resembles the imagined taste of sucking the farts out of a swan. A close second would be Clan which is just so unpleasant I doubt even Jim Inks would smoke the stuff!
My two least favorites so far are 1Q and SG Hansom Flake. Also, I find EMP weak and unfulfilling.
I can see it not being someones cup of tea but if anything the biggest thing I could see someone not liking about it is how simple and not rough edged it is. I feel like you must have gotten an off tin. But yeah there are so many great blends no point on trying to enjoy something when there are a million ones that are easy to enjoy right now
Glad someone else agrees with me about EMP. I don't find it bad, just not something I'd reach for ever unless it was all that was left. Like the tin design.
Well I didn't actually smoke it but.....Hobbit's Weed. I bought some to heave over the fence for one of our Canadian members. When I got it home my whole house reeked within minutes. I put it in two ziplocks and it still infected everything. Don't know how some of you guys can smoke aros, but whatever butters your toast.
Eileens Dream and Sutliff Vanilla Custard (or something like that). Actually most aromatics TBH.
I also didn't care for Peterson Irish Flake.
Yorktown is pretty good IMO.

Well the sad part is that I bought about 20 tins of C&D blends and have only really liked a few. I will go to my donation pile and let you know how many I tried that were just not for me.I can see it not being someones cup of tea but if anything the biggest thing I could see someone not liking about it is how simple and not rough edged it is.

Ummmmmmm... you trying to start another world war? ?

Nightcap sux.

I enjoy a wide range of blends, including many of C&D’s offerings, and have never really encountered something I hated - until Visions of Celephaïs. It’s a tobacco that says, "You know everything you enjoy in a pipe tobacco? Here’s its opposite".
Three come to mind, the first two rage-inducing, the last just really, really disappointing:
1792 Flake - This induced the most visceral reaction I've ever had to a blend. Given where it comes from, it's obviously quality leaf, so I hate to say it's the "worst," but it's the one I hate the most. Unfortunately I tried it not too long after I started smoking, and I didn't fully trust my own tastes. I actually smoked 2 full bowls of it TIRE FIRE. The rest of the tin has been sitting in a jar untouched for 10 years.
Stokkebye HIghland Whiskey - I bought a sample of this in the smoking tent at the 2019 Chicago Show. I got a beer, sat down at one of the couches and loaded a bowl. It had the most artificial, chemical taste I've experienced. Thirty seconds in, I dumped it and gave the sample to another attendee. There are a few PS blends that I love, but this one was terrible.
Peretti B-94 - I wanted to like it, but I just couldn't get past the persistent soapy taste. Why the fu(k does rum-topped cube cut burley taste like fu9king soap? I have yet to find a Peretti burley I like, but B-94 was the one I disliked the most.

1792 flake made me nauseous and not just from the nic hit. Glad It was a sample I was gifted.

I renamed it to Visions of Syphilis, which a lot of people don’t know is the actual flavor used as a topping on this one...
