Any CC churchills/DC's, smoked a few handfuls, none to impressive. Still a few I haven't tried out there, but not really dying to make the effort. They are always lacking in flavor and usually quite the tight draw.

Give me a PC or Lancero any day over any of them.

Any Undercrown size aside from the Corona Viva is pretty overrated to me any more. The first batch of the toros were flat out amazing, every subsequent batch was a severely muted shadow of that first run.

To beat a dead horse: fresh Opus. Opus that have sat for at least a few years come around to being good sticks, but fresh Opus are just harsh with no other flavors. I always find myself trying one from each new batch we get at work with the hope of them making a turn around, but they're always the same unsmokeable crap.

I would have to say it is a tie between the undercrown and the muwat. Both are ok tasting but nothing special to me :2

Dirty Rat. I've tried a couple and they just do nothing for me. Too harsh for me I think. And I really enjoy some other LPs so I had high expectations.

most of the Tat Monsters
Undercrown
avion
duena
casita criolla
sirena
new line of el triunfador with red label
viaje 50/50 (only tried the blacK)
viaje platino

I'm surprised at the opus hate. At ~$11 for a power ranger, IMO it still stands well above most of the regular release tats, like the browns, and padron 64's that are around the same price and with a few year's of age are nearly untouchable. It was a different story several years ago when Opus demand pushed the prices up. But nowadays they are a bargain IMO.
