I believe being over rated is confused with over priced. There are a ton of $10-$15 cigars that are great….. if they were $6-$9 cigars. We also over look consistency when we talk about cigars like “over rated” Padron or Davidoff. Do we really expect a totally mind blowing experience if we do spend over $15 or should we expect the same exact experience consistently every time?
I do not think either Padron nor Davidoff is over rated
Price is different than rating or overrated IMO. My favorite cigar is the padron 80 years, which is a $33 cigar, which is also why I smoke 2 or 3 a year. Not really worth the price, but it's my favorite.
As for most overrated, I think the Melanio, while a very good cigar, is in the top 10 every single year. That's too high of a rating I think. Maybe same goes for all of the EPC stuff. Both of those just seem like regular good smokes that are too highly rated by the "authoritative" raters in the industry.
I think that Cubans on the whole are overrated by the public at large, especially by non cigar smokers.
I would agree with @VegasFrank those high ratings have a lot to do with advertising dollars in many occasions although EPC does age nicely.
Cubans these days are rushed to market and don’t have the age but older aged Cubans are outstanding IMO.

David once told me he’s got Cuban’s older than me.

If you find yourself smoking a cigar way too long because of the hype or how much you paid for it, it’s probably overrated. I feel like Jeff Foxworthy.

So, there's several sticks out there that are highly rated, highly priced, and sometimes highly advertised. However, some of these cigars could be considered overrated. By no means does this mean they're bad smokes, but like some things that hit the mainstream of any industry or medium, they're just a little too loved, if that makes sense.
So, this brings us to the question, which cigar do you find to be the most overrated?
Myself, I find Cohiba to be in that vein. It's a nice smoke, but I've encountered a lot of people who think it's the best cigar out there. It has that wheelin' an dealin' cigar smoker luster to it. If you remember the Black Band Project videos, it would be something the guy with the fifteen cell phones would smoke.
I think Davidoff fits into this category. Way over priced for the kind of smoke it is. Nothing to write home about imo.
@Krieg that’s my disagree. Although Davidoff does not always fit into my flavor profile you would be hard pressed to find a cigar that produces the same quality day in and day out.
Their quality and consistency is what you are paying for. The only one I can think of off the top of my head that is on par with them in those regards is Padron.
Like I said, not always my cup of tea flavor wise. But I have to give respect to the quality of their products.
I also disagree. To me many of the “limited edition” or yearly releases are spectacular and worth what I pay (not retail). Their qc is spectacular and unmatched in the industry, in my opinion.

you took the words right outta my mouth, i was just gonna say Padron. Which is def my #1 cigar. Davidoff just doesn't fit my flavor profile. I like a more full bodied, consistent smoke...like Padron. I think Davidoff is just too mild for me tbh.
Rocky Patel has two excellent cigars in my opinion: the Decade and the Sun Grown Maduro.
The last smoke I actually threw away after about a third was the Camacho Corojo. The Triple Maduro sucks rat dicks as well.
I've had about 10 Cubans over the last year. I really enjoyed the Partagas Lusitania, and the Montecristo I had was great. These small Vegueros smokes I had were excellent as well. The rest were forgettable or garbage.
I'd take a regular old Padron over most of the Cubans I've had.

That's why threads like this are worthless, except for their entertainment value... opinions are alike a$$holes... everybody's got one.
And they all stink but your own......

So... what's the difference between "overrated" and "doesn't fit my flavor profile"?

Hi @MitchVortex
Most over rated? Any Saka or Ezra Zion cigar.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
@MitchVortex
The real question is what are you doing to that dog?
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
@MitchVortex
If your first post is to give us your opinion on cigar brands, your opinion is invalidated.
Haha.
