Overrated cigars

The fact that you posted that comment on this board shows you haven't read anything. It's the one cigar that never disappoints the receiver when given as a gift, thats been my experience.

I've only smoked one, and it was a gift, and it didn't disappoint. But then, no Padron ever has yet as far as I'm concerned........LOL

All Padron's are crap.
Ill take all the ones you don't want to smoke and dispose of them properly.



Now on a serious note, taste is different for everyone and you just happen to not like one of the best cigars i have every smoked.
Taste also changes over time so if you dont like the cigar now give it a year or 2 and smoke it agian.

A year or 2 ago i smoked a Sancho Panza and didn't like it at all but i gave them a chance again 4 months or so ago and this time i liked them.

I'm going to be Mr. Nice for this thread and say that this is just a newblet smoker / cigar forum posting mistake. I believe I made the same mistake early on when I joined here.

Threads that are based on people slamming a particular smoke never take off, or worse draw ire because "smoke what you like, and like what you smoke"

I believe that one man's trash is another man's treasure. That being said, I'm sure some people find the Puros Indios line to be a real treasure.

I thought about being nice too but I don't have the time to waste with guys like him so I just cut to the chase. I remember when I was new to smoking cigars and I thought Opus X were "praised to high heavens" and I didn't care for. A few years later, I smartened up and realized what an idiot I was. Hopefully sir-east-a-lot-but-don't-think-a-lot will smarten up too.

I still think Opus X are over-rated, but I'm not going to start a thread saying they are. wait.

To everyone who responded,
I thought the title of this thread was cigars that you felt are overrated, not bash the guy who doesn't like what I like.
I've been smoking cigars for over 15 years. I remember buying Opus X when they were 12 dollars. At the time I remember thinking, I've never paid more than 5 for a cigar, but I'll give it a try. They were amazing. I've since switched over to the Fuente Anejo, which has the same filler but a different wrapper than the Opus X, they're also easier to find and less expensive, which is great. So don't presume that you know me, you don't. Don't assume I'm a newbie, because I'm not. As I said, my problem with the Padron 26 was the complete lack of consistency. It was like it changed to a completely different cigar at the halfway point, which is strange for a box pressed cigar, they're usually wonderfully consistent. You also don't have to get pissed off because someone doesn't like what you like, frankly I have no respect for machine made cigars or people who smoke them, yet those people seem to get a free pass on this site, which I find a little disturbing, but I am a grown man and realized long ago that opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one and they should be kept to yourself. Sadly some of you on this site are apparently too young to have figured that out by now.
