Interdasting. Even the ligas and undercrowns?

This for me as well. Guess it all goes back to "smoke what you like, like what you smoke".

Looks like it would taste about as good as my dogs turd... Glad I never saw these in stores...

Personally, I have to say Gurkha, Yes there are some decent lines like the Spec Ops, but they have so many lines and so much market saturation I am weary of trying any of their sticks I haven't read closely on for fear of spending my money on a stick with little to no taste...

A good cigar can be overhyped. Like ninja said, lots of cigars I have enjoyed taking a beating, but a cigar can be good, yet still be over-hyped.

Recently for me it has been the Tat mini-monsters. Much ado about nothing.

Gurkha, Nub and Rocky.

Agreed they seem to be all hype. I probably had ten in the last three years and not got one yet. I'm not saying a good Cuban doesn't exist but I'm having doubts.

Liga #9 are OK, T-52 sucked, and Undercrown was the best of the 3 but still not worth the price. When I can get a box of 601 Blues for $70 give or take and DPG JJ Maduros Beli's for $114, both of which I like better than the Undercrown no way I'd pay that much for a box of Undercrowns.

I agree Tom about the mini monsters. Just aren't doing anything for me. Very boring smokes.
