You've been smoking long enough to remember the cigar boom. I remember Dominicans and Hondurans were all the rage. ERDM's/LGCs/Fuentes etc were highly regarded and high-priced. I even remember Puros Indios at my local shop going for 16 bucks each! The Nicaraguan cigars were the red-headed step-children of the bunch. Padrons were the only exception. There does seem to be a big steer in the direction of strength over complexity in cigars. I really enjoy a Tat or Viaje once in awhile but I can't get the Liga Privada to save my life. My tastes have changed to a point where I'm about ready to spend the summer pipe smoking vs cigars as they are all tasting the same to me. I'm sure we all go through stages. Mine tend to be extreme.
