In your opinion, what's the most over & under hyped cigar brand/line?

FUEL · 07-04-2013, 05:16 PM

At the moment whether it is by social media, forums, publications, word of mouth, advertising et al.

Let's take out personal views on the taste, performance or similar for giggles.

Over: Liga Privada by Drew Estate
Under: The Genesis Project

Care to share?

Happy 4th all, stay safe.

I think the Genesis line gets well deserved credit, on here at least. I'm not sure about other sites, or forums.

Overhyped: Ashton (Just isn't for me I guess. Don't get the hype)
Underhyped: I don't think Nicks Stick's get enough credit for delicious super cheap smokes.

The Genesis here I agree gets it's deserved credit here but on a few other forums and "review sites" it's hardly, if ever mentioned.

The Ashton remark Brian, are you basing that off of personal experience with the brand hence the "Just isn't for me?" statement? Just curious.

I've had several people at my local B&M ask about the Genesis when I smoke them there. Not too many people are familiar with them, unless they frequent CI sites

My thoughts are also the same Jason however they would be at least, at least double in price here in MN with the new tax laws that went in on July 1.

Overhyped: Tatuaje (not they don't have some good lines, just over the top hype).

Underhyped: Esencia ... good stuff, Maynard.

kelmac07 · 07-04-2013, 06:27 PM

Overhyped: Cubans (but that's just my take)

Underhyped: RoMa Craft Tobac (they make some amazing cigars)

I can't say I'm shocked, but that is exactly what I was going to say.

Yea, I wouldn't know about other sites. This is, and will remain, the only Cigar related site I go to, besides to buy Cigars.

With the Ashton's I've had, I wasn't really blown away. I think on here they have a pretty high reputation generally. For me, however, they aren't for me.
