Its crazy how a palate can be affected by stress, situation, and personal taste.

I don't like too much spice, I want to taste the tobacco. I've learned to stay away from too much ligero, and I've definitely gotten into cigars with less strength. But I absolutely adore the LP 9. I didn't care much for the T52, and I've had it in several sizes including the Flying Pig, so that was dissapointing. The Undercrown I found amazing. Then the next one was blah. Then the next one was decent. Now I do find somewhat boring, but it has tastes I enjoy. They're kind of like breakfast cereal. I may not want cheerios for dinner, but I can eat them every single morning without fail and never really get tired of them.

But it's not just you. I've really learned that "powerhouse" cigars are not really that good. They're like having food slathered in hot sauce, you can't really taste the food at all.
