Well let's get this over with Gurkha or Graycliff cigars are
over-marketed, over-priced (MSRP wise) and thus over-hyped cigars. They also have the distinction of being considered in very low regard by many cigar smokers...

PS This type of thread has shown up periodically over the last number of years as have various wordings of the above statement..
No horses were hurt in the process of writing this text. The author also acknowledges that new over-hyped cigars are out there and require their due.

Hate to say it but the new Tat Broadleaf Collection is nothing like what you would expect considering the rep with that wrapper. Found them to be bland and airy. Also, never had a monster I could say I really enjoyed.

Maybe 5 - 6 years ago, I picked up 2 Fuente God of Fires from here for like $18 ea. as a treat for Father's Day. Meh. I usually enjoy Fuente, but these where as boring as could be. I can't remember if they where the Don Carlos or Arturo blend.

For an Altadis, Monte White doesn't suck too much...bland, but we'll made and consistent

Howard, I won a box of them several years ago at Dubbin's herf. You remember, the herf where we first met? The herf where you kept winning one humidor after another?

Anyhow, I found them to be nothing special, and traded them away (I think to Fiddler). A few weeks ago I got curious about them, and grabbed 2 Rothchilds here at $3 ea. Again, nothing special, so we agree on these, but someone must like them, as many are willing to pay big bucks for them.

I haven't smoked any because Connie aren't my thing really but a couple people I know love theseeing White Labels. Even turned down my offer of a cc in favor of a white label. I am also not a fan of Altadis cigars so they have two strikes against them for me not to try.

Tony, which one? There's a decent range of My Father cigars, with varying profiles and quality levels.

+1 With the exception of the original release of the Double R. Good cigar but still over priced. Herfing

Damn, two of my favorite smokes, lol.

Pretty sure this topic is subjective.

Comparing aged Dominican puros... for my tastes, an aged LG Diez beats the pants off an aged Opus.

I like both, young and old, but I think (for my current tastes anyway), LG Diez wins.

As far as my overrated goes... DE Liga line. I've tried enough to where I spend my dough on other things at that price point (Like Padron Anny and young Opus :)

I purchased some Cohiba Reds awhile back and they were terrible and poorly constructed.

No doubt. The Cohiba Red Dot and Maduro Black are just average smokes. Online price for a single 7" x 49 Cohiba Churchill is $21.50 and that is a JOKE! Smoked through 20 I got at C.I. a few years back at $4.50 and I wouldn't even buy them again at that price. Only the Cohiba Nicaragua has been a average+ blend.

Ever? Can't say. Can't remember. I'm old.

Most recent? Oliva Serie V

Good but overrated imo. Not great ever.

Had some good ones and some eh ones.

So I’m sure I’ll get some eyebrows raised on this, and I’ll also note that Im not a Fuente fan (something doesn’t click with my palate other than the Casa Cuba), but for me it’s the Opus X. To be fair I’ve only had one, but in one of the blind trades we did on here a few years ago, I thought it was absolutely the yard gar.

I am a Fuente ho........but young Opus are horrid in my opinion.However well aged,5 years plus,they are outstanding,especially the smaller ring gauges.All that being said I agree with BGZ,Litto's sticks are superior to even a well aged Opus.

I've noticed my palate has changed extensively over the past five years. Used to love huge bold flavors, Padron, 601, Kristoff, Brazilia et cetera. While I still enjoy those cigars I have shifted more into medium bodied smokes. I tend to feel as if they have a fuller more well rounded flavor at least.

I'm not gonna knock the padron thousand series for its consistency but I will say that I am not impressed at all with the family reserve cigars nor do I care for the 80th anniversary. Even the 1964 blend is starting to just not be that great.

Another huge dissapointment is Bandolero and to some extent I really was not impressed with Byron either.

Ave Maria something or other. Not sure which it was. It was horrible.
