To me, several of my cigar buddies, and a good portion of Internet cigar forum folks (based on a lot of Googling for stuff like "most overrated brand" and similar search terms), Fuentes have little to no flavor and are therefore horrendously overpriced and overrated.
Other people love them. It's well-known that genetics plays a large part in the sense of taste and how it varies between inviduals.
But I, and a lot of other guys, aren't shedding any tears over them not being prominent on cbid, and wouldn't care if the Fuente company folded forever tomorrow, either.
Dem's not fightin' words, we fellas just have different DNA from some of the rest of you. We probably like a lot of cigars that many of you hate, too. It's quite interesting.
