Overrated cigars

[ggiese]

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.

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?
