Re: Cigar Expectations: Success and Failure
Looking back over the years I have put together a simple list. It's not conclusive, but it gives you an idea of my palette.
Exceeded my expectations:
Hirsch y Garcia Panatela
Reserva Mira Flor lancero (Original release)
Famous Nic 3000
WOAN (the lighter brother)
Viaje Platino
Brickhouse
SLR Regios
Por Larranaga Lonsdale
Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro
Quinteros Breva
Qd'O Coronas Claro
Failed to meet my expectations:
Pretty much any Illusione except for the Holy Lancero
Tatuaje El Triunfador OR
Tatuaje Black Corona Gorda OR
Fuente God of Fire series
Most AVO's
RASS
Cohiba Siglo Series
Taboada custom roll
Reynaldo custom roll
I do want to point out the reasoning behind my lists. I try my best not to base a cigar off of others reviews. However, in the simple process of reading the forums I get inundated with hype, simple reviews, etc that seem to stick with me and lead me to the 'conclusion' before I have sampled them. It's a real conundrum.
