Why do most people seem to have a negative opinion of Macanudos?

Mac maduro's got me started down the slope. Not a bad cigar at all, especially for someone who was just starting out. I think if I had smoked a JDN or an RYJ cazadore I would have thrown up and moved onto another hobby. Try one-- you'll see they are not bad. The budweiser analogy is great. You're not going to throw out your single malt, but a bud on a hot day is never a bad thing.
