These guys. One trick pony. And not a very good trick. Huge marketing budget for one cigar though.
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.

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.
