Nope. We like what we find to be well-made stuff with actual flavor, for example most AJ Fernandez stuff, and a variety of others. We all agree that Gurkha sucks, RP used to be fairly good many years ago, but not so much in recent times.
I've been at this 18+ years, and my pals are roughly about the same. Not newbies. The internet contains countless others echoing this same opinion of ours.... and many others saying the opposite, and worshipping Fuente/Davidoff/Ashton.
Palates simply differ. It's important for new guys to realize this, though, so if they find Brand X bland while everyone else is gushing about how amazing it is, they won't think there's something wrong with them. :)
