What highly rated cigars do you think suck (and therefore I should avoid)?

Mine:
AB Prensado (96 rated) - Sucked
RP Decade (95 rated) - Sucked
Oliva Serie V Melanio (96 rated) - Sucked (I love the regular Vs)

I agree that AB and RP can be hit or miss but I disagree with the Serie V. I've gone through about 2 boxes and every single one has been excellent. One of the most consistent cigars that I've had by far.

EP Carillo Elencos (94 rated)...supposedly the same blend as the original that got the 94 back in 2010...the original Elenco Elites were outstanding...the latest iteration released a couple years ago are not the same...sucked

EP Carillo Encore (96 rated)...sucked

EP Carillo La Historia (95 rated)...sucked

see a pattern?

I like a Historia but haven't found too many other EPs I really crave.

Gonna naysay the Melanio opinion too.

Phooey on youse guys

yah... agree with SOB that the Oliva Melanio is a good smoke...most Oliva's are good cigars, but I think that is the flagship...

The melanio is one of my favorites. Haven’t found many olives I dislike. I could go through any of my magazines and hate all over a ton of the highly rated sticks in the book.

See, I would have said the Oliva Serie V Belicoso (95 rated). Number 3 cigar of the year in 2017!

Tastes like someone p!ssed on an oak log, stuffed it up a hogs @ss, burned the whole thing, then scraped up the charred pieces and rolled them in a tobacco leaf. Or at least that's the closest thing I have to compare it to. 😰

Never would've guessed Oliva would be this polarizing.

Oh, I forgot... CAO Flathead (95 rated). I have a buddy who keeps trying to convince me they are great, but I have tried the V554 and V660 (and the Steelhorse, technically a different cigar altogether) and the Flathead is totally one-note for me. And that note is poop.

I liked regular Flathead (think it was the Camshaft?), not to disagree with you at every turn, but the Steel Horse sucked bad IMO

I bought 3 fivers of those caos in different sizes. I dont remember which ones. Some were good some were not, within the same size line. Wouldn't rate any of them as high end, just a decent daily cigar.

The melanio is decent, and consistent. I wouldn't call it the cream of the crop but I've never had one I tossed early.

How any Rocky cigar makes the list is beyond me. Might as well put some pre cut Victor Sinclairs on the list too.

I may have confused the situation. What I meant to say was that I thought both the Flathead AND the Steelhorse sucked.

Good thing CAO didn't screw up the Brazilia...

Also, AR Quattro Nicaragua (96 rated). I mean, they are OK, but not COTY good.

A 93 rated Padron XXXX (among many others) is much better than the AR IMO.

I like the Quattro pretty well. I know I’m the minority but I don’t love the padron 1000 series. Never tried the expensive ones they offer. I will someday.

With that though I think there’s some tatuaje cigars that are way underrated.

I smoke cao Brazil though. And I like em once in a while. I bought more recently
