After reading all the rave reviews I bought a 5er of the Sobremasa Corona Grandes but even after trying them 3 and 6 months after getting them, wasn't all that impressed. Same with the Umbagog Robustos so I'm just wondering if they're just not in my wheelhouse.

Bought a box of the same size and thought they were really good fresh but when I went back to them I was not impressed, in fact I hardly ever think about grabbing one of them. Didn't know Umbagog was his but wasn't interested anyhow.

Yeah,

To each their own on cigars. I cannot buy a sick-period of more than a couple of months (aside from wet-packed), sure many will get better with age. but several months should cure any issues relating to the cigar being too young. The vitola matters for sure, though I have not found this more so with Dunbarton than with any other cigar. In the end, it all comes down to personal preference.

My real confusion here is that 5'ers of undercrowns will go for $7-8 per cigar, while the same vitola is available for $5 right now on CI. Sobremesa's going for $4.20 is a 59% discount for them on CI and they are simply way better IMO.

I personally like Sobremesa in the smaller format and agree that Mi Querida is better in a larger format. These are not my favorite cigars by a long shot, but a must-buy at $4.20 in my book. Glad that you two won't be bidding me up on these. Hope that they come up again sometime soon.
