There’s many I’m almost 100% sure (almost) that I won’t be buying again, but I can’t say I’ve met a tobacco yet that I can say I’ll never smoke again.
That's pretty much my position too.

If I had to pick something that was a "not likely to try again anytime soon", anything by Borkum Riff. I know it's sold throughout much of the world, but I just can't handle their blends.

@BingBong , as one who recommended Mahogany: sorry brother!

Worst for me was something that tasted and smelled of Vicks rub. I've blocked the name. It wasn't one mentioned earlier this morning. This was 20+ years ago. I was assured it would grow on me so dedicated a nice little Dunhill to it, which I could not purge later using all the alcohol and salt treatments, and have not smoked since.

Bayou Morning.
I know, I know, most people like it, but I cannot smoke it.
I originally thought it was the amount of Perique in the blend.
But, I now believe its just how the Perique interplays with the other components maybe. There are other blends that have the same amount or MORE Perique which I love. Va/Pers are one of my favorite genres.
I bought a pound of it about 8 years ago and did not like it.
I put it away until this Spring, and I still dislike it.
Ive given a bunch away and will continue to give it away.
Bayou Morning with 8 years of age might be some guys dream.....its still my nightmare. :)

I cracked a tin of GH Mahogany last night and rather regret that one. Not my kind of thing, along with #7 Broken Flake. I'll still try to conquer it though.

@bassbug can I have the perique you don't like? :)
How old was the Mahogany? I didn't like it either but found the old re-sealed tin and looked twice at it, looking back at me.
