100% agree, biggest disappointment in a cigar I have had in years.... for the price they are and at least in my area unable to find I rarely ever pick up any of Andre's sticks they just don't float my boat... at all... like ever...

RomaCraft - definitely way under hyped and a delicious smoke
Ghurka - overhyped - meh just meh and seriously how many new smokes can you have that all just are meh at best.

(buddy of mine just raved and raved about Ghurk) then one day snooped in my locker and grabbed a "knuckle dragger" and asked what's this plain little thing? That's 3.5 inches of stfu and have a real smoke I replied! We just split a box purchase of cranium lol!

Awesome response!

Over: NC Cohiba (considered top of the line smoke by your avg joe)
Under: inexpensive B&M house blends

Agree with you on the T52. I've had a couple (corona doble, and a pig), didn't really care for either.

The Mystery was freaking EXCELLENT the following summer after it was released. The pepper had toned WAY down, and there was this awesome, woody cinnamon flavor that I haven't tasted in another cigar.

I still have 3 or so Daisy Cutters, haven't smoked one in a grip, but again, with some time they were amazing. I'm not a fan of S&B ROTT.

Over - Ghurka is the easy answer. Other than that it would have to be Tatuaje. I haven't exactly been blown away by the ccs I've had, but with so many cc devotees there has to be something to them other than hype right? Maybe?

Under - Hard to say, maybe I don't get out enough but I haven't seen a lot of hype except for few specific brands, which would make everything else under hyped in comparison.

T.G · 07-10-2013, 02:07 PM

Over - every cigar I don't like.
Under - every cigar I like.

Or maybe it's the other way around, I forget.

Sweet_Leaf_PDX · 07-10-2013, 05:32 PM

Over - Drew Estate. Particularly the Liga Privadas. Cigar Aficionado just named them the "hottest cigar" of 2013.

Under - Lots to choose from here, but I will go with... Nica Libre. Very reasonably priced, and I have enjoyed everyone one that I have ever smoked.

CoffeeWaterBeer · 07-12-2013, 08:49 AM

I haven't tried the full line but I think Tatuaje is a bit over-hyped. Not a bad smoke by any stretch, just not mind blowing.Also, I'm throwing Foundry out there. It's rare I strongly dislike a cigar but these were plain out nasty.

Underrated... hmm, I might throw Illusione out there as I don't see a lot of marketing hype out there for the line.

Over: maduros
Under: JL's

Over; Liga Privada ( I fully understand that most of it is due to how great a person JD is, but this is about the cigars)

Under; Roma Craft, Curivari, Illusione.

Dunkel · 07-12-2013, 12:49 PM

Ha ha There was a similar thread awhile back and people were shocked and amazed that I said Drew Estates were overhyped! Oh how times have changed.

Overhyped: Tatuaje, Drew Estates, and Gurkha

Buckeye Jack · 07-15-2013, 07:03 AM
