Just seeing what stick you guys think doesnt get the credit it deserves and the one that gets way to much love?

Under rated = La Aroma de Cuba Robusto/Lancero
Over Rated = San Lotano Oval

Out of all the Lotano lines the Oval IMO is the worst. I've had at least 2-3 of each size (only 1 torpedo tho) and I find them all to be just meh at best.

    For me, most of the Viaje line is over rated for me. Great marketing strategy, but the sticks don't live up to the hype for me. Under rated is harder to pick. Maybe the LFD Cameroon Cabinet?

    Overrated Rocky P, several of them just not worth the hype of the name, underrated L’Atelier Surrogates, all 3 of them, absolutely love them and at 7 a stick, for my money can't beat it.

    Underrated: For me, Carlos Torano Dominico. I've been smoking the hell out of these things lately and loving them. They're fantastic in the cold weather. They burn well. They're well constructed. They sell so dirt cheap I feel like 20 of them should be in any mild lovers' humi.

    Overrated: Ashton anything. I never had an ashton that was as amazing as the price it costs. I use this as an example because the churchills cost almost 4 times what Dominicos cost me, yet I like the dominico better. I mean that. I LIKE CARLOS TORANO DOMINICO BETTER THAN ASHTON.

    Pipe bomb!

    under rated would be most carlos toranos.never really heard of them till was bombed one.have liked everyone ive smoked since think.overarted probably the rp decades tried a few and thought they were meh... just my humble opinion
    no matter where you go, there you are.

  • Poker_SlobPoker_Slob Posts: 1,269 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Over rated would be almost ALL RP's and under rated maybe JdN Celebracion.
  • blurrblurr Posts: 962 ✭✭
    Over rated for me probably Liga privada, but I haven't smoked a ton just wasn't wowed with the few I've had. Under rated is almost all Toranos, I've enjoyed everyone I've smoked to the point I always think write this is just a great relaxing smoke. I haven't been smoking as much lately though, with the winter in pa and a 2 year old son just haven't had time.

    Underrated: Guillermo Leon (great stick, great price...not much press)

    hilarious! That's why we love cigars, they are subjective. I can say that I'm basing this on the only one I've smoked. I absolutely LOVE everything Camacho I've had, and was so pumped to give the triple Maduro a try, only to be let down. Bad stick? Maybe. Bad conditions? Possibly. Controlled experiment - over a year in the cooler and a perfect day alone on the back deck with ice water. Whatever the variables, it just didn't do it for me, I'll stick to the corojos for my go to Camacho.

    Not sure what I consider over-rated. I agree with several other people that RP isn't that great. Met a couple I like, but not many.

    I can pull the lable off a Gurkha Sherpa and hand it to most people and they'll love it. I'd definitely say this is the most under-rated cigar I can think of.

    If enough people say Rocky Patel is overrated, can we agree that it's a label that's just "rated".
  • danielzreyesdanielzreyes Posts: 8,771 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Overrated, a few Viajes that I've had.

    Underrated, Perdomo. Lot 23 being my fav.
    "It's plume, bro. Nothing to worry about. Got any Opus?" The suppose to be DZR
  • VisionVision Posts: 8,487 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I think the one stick that doesnt get enough love is anything LFD/Lito Gomez. I have yet to have a bad one.
  • harley guyharley guy Posts: 5
    Over rated; most Gurkhas, just can't get into most. Status was OK, Sherpa was OK. Under rated; Cusano LXI sungrown, love those things.
  • clearlysuspectclearlysuspect Posts: 2,124 ✭✭✭✭
    Oh, and Gran Habano 3 SLS is a cheapy favorite of mine also.
