I'd agree with CigarNut about Opus being overhyped. Good? OK, yeah. THAT good? Not in my opinion.

Underhyped is a matter of where you're getting your "hype". On this board, I'd have to say the JR Ultimate line. They are a superior cigar at a price even I can afford . . . occasionally, anyway.

This.

Underhyped: IMO...RG :-)

Over - Drew Estate (I find their unflavored stuff to be "okay")

Under - Roma Craft (Those Cro Mags are delicious!)

Over: NC Cohibas. IMNSHO the sole reason they command the price they do is because of their name.

Under: another vote for Cromagnon

Under hyped: Anything from Casa Fernandez. I love these:

Over - Drew Estates in general, small production runs for a couple of their lines creating demand and hype.

Under - I'll get back to you on this one

Over: Anything Gurkha... seems like the whole brand is driven purely by hype. As prevalent as they are in the catalogs, I never hear much good to say about them around here.

Under: Anything 5 Vegas... for the price (even without a sale or big discount), I've liked almost every 5 Vegas stick I've smoked, from the Gold all the way to Cask Strength and AAA. I'm normally a mild-medium and infused kind of guy, but I'm always pleasantly surprised with almost any 5 Vegas stick I smoke, regardless of flavor profile or strength. Even the few that I haven't LOVED (Gold Maduro comes to mind) haven't been bad either, just not my cup of tea.

I'm with Peter. Maduros are overhyped. Gimme my Cubans. :-)

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.

:-) had to say it. :-)

Hi BS. I could not agree more with those, ESPECIALLY Viaje. I never got the hype around them. Thanks for posting.
