Cigar that didn't live up to the hype

[DogRockets]

I'll second, third, or whatever number I'd be on the Drew LP9. I was so excited and picked up 2 last year to try. They were good sticks, don't get me wrong, but I have no idea what people see in these that makes them so desireable and expensive. If they were $7, ok I could see that. But for the price they go for, they aren't for me.

Don't retailers have to disclose the fact they are selling the seconds?

I don't mean 2nds, I meant that they make a 2nd as in another version of the Tempus that is not nearly the cigar that the originals is. This is all simply my opinion based on my experiences with them. I have no proof other than that.

For me, it's got to be the La Aurora Preferidos. I've had both the connecticut and the emerald. Neither were bad smokes, but given the price I was underwhelmed.

Just about any Tats I've tried *ducks*

I've had about 20, with maybe half as many different lines. I enjoy them, but not nearly as much as most do, and there are many other NCs I prefer. I'll continue to try them because their reputation is so strong. But I honestly don't think any cigar could live up to the hype those get.

I have tried several times, but Alec Bradley cigars do not match my palate. I know many smokers who love them. Just not for me.

i personally really like the 9. it was a great stick but it is on the higher side. for me the chiilin moose didnt live up to what i was hearing. now i smoked it rott and hear that its better with some age so i have some resting right now. its a great budget stick but what i was reading made it sound better than a budget cigar

I wouldn't discard your whole wishlist because someone says they didn't think the cigar lived up to the hype. No matter how amazing a cigar is theres always someone that won't like it. Don't short yourself, follow your own palate.

I understand what you say, trying to fill that box is harder work than I thought, and after I spend my allowance they go and put everything on sale..catalogs come late..just makes my head hurt.. luckily I got those cheap ones to smoke.

Everyone's tastes are different, you might love some of what I hate and vice versa, you never know unless you try them! That's half the fun of cigars.
