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.

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.

Lord if this is not the truth. In particular Andre IMO. Sorry, not chasing these down anymore when there are plenty of other options readily available.

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.

Over - Another vote for maduros (with clarification regarding the palette destroying powerhouses that seem to wash away any level of complexity to a stick)

Under - Curivari cigars

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
Underhyped: Oliva (except Nubs) and Joya de Nicaragua

I think you are right about in particular Andre'. It is getting harder and harder to chase 'em down because retailers are dropping them. The thing is his 3 core line sticks don't sell and the stores have to by them to get the LEs - they end up taking a loss on the cores in order to stock the LEs.. The core lines are a decent cigar... for half their price. There are many great cigars (Casa Fernandez) which also rolled at Fabrica de Tabacos Raices Cubana that cost less and are easy to find. Good consistent core lines vs a hard to find LE is a no brainer for me.

At the same time, Andre isn't asking people to pay to join some club to get the privilege to buy LEs either. Pete, I'll smoke dog rockets before that ever happens. Thank goodness Pete has some really swell core lines; Ill grab the petit cazadore over the limited release and know its going to be a great smoke. Speaking of Raices, Ernesto Padilla has some good cigars coming out of there as well, the Artemis is another underrated cigar.

On a side note, thanks to all of the high recommendations for Roma Craft; I went online and found that there is a retailer that will be a 30 minute drive from my work. I'll be taking a long lunch next week to grab some.. -(P

Over- Opus x
Under- Regius

Imo
I think the Regius is one of the best non cuban cigars that is as close to Cuban that you can get.
