Overrated cigars

[Sir Eats-A-Lot]

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.

Cool. Some of us aren't so young....not ancient, but not young.
Funny, I can remember OpusX for 12 bucks too, 'cause I just bought a PL for a little less than that a month ago in my local. BTW, I think they're kinda over-rated, and I rarely smoke them anymore, but I like the PL. Like you, I prefer the Anejo. For a regular Fuente, I stick to the Hemmingway's.

One guy said you were an idiot, others simply disagreed with your opinion of the Padron and asked a couple of questions. Hardly a bashing, from my point of view.
As far as newbie, well, unfortunately for your ego, on this board you are, indeed, a newbie. You pretty much confirmed it in your post. Had your first post been some type of brief introduction, perhaps we would have known something about you, and maybe your point of reference for this post.

Well I can remember when Opus X were $2!

Oh wait, nope... I'm just a whipper snapper. Dang.

Ok, ok... I'm confused...

I'm thinking you're suggesting that the opinion starting this thread should not have been shared?!? ...and I'm not quite sure why you are now taking the entire board to task for your ignorance.

After making a pretty controversial statement on only your second post on this forum, I was trying to draw out of you where you were coming from - is it an issue of not liking the cigar after only smoking it once? It's not as though you're downing "machine made" cigars - you're calling a Padron 1926 "overrated". Liken this to saying that Gordon Ramsey is "overrated"... Is he? Not unlike Padron 1926, He does seem to command pretty high $$$ for his product.

I asked you a question about your thoughts on Davidoff's and you never responded. Do you think Davidoff is overrated as well?

No one is getting "pissed off" here you idiot. And yes, I called you an idiot because I strongly suspected you were one and your continued ignorance and stupidity continues to confirm my original assessment of you. The more your post the more you prove to use you're a bumptious, repugnant, insufferable, emotional and unstable idiot so feel free to continue to prove my point with your childish rants. Either that or just get the hell out here and save yourself and the rest of us a whole lot of aggravation.

I'm not privy to the private forum area. I flunked the chocolate test. Evidently, I'm not delusional enough.

Are you delusional enough to describe Davidoff cigars as "elegant"? That's the real test.

Fuggin' newbs. It seems like nothing existed before their existence. I was scrimping and saving to buy Davidoffs when your mother was still trying to decide what brand of diaper to buy.

Will - I get it.

For you, "elegant" is a foreign concept. As in the only thing you'd describe as "elegant" would be the added Ikea throw rug you put on your hardwood floors. So for someone to describe something other than that as "elegant" would definitely be mind blowing (e.g. "delusional") to you.
