The JJ has slipped dramatically over the last couple years. JJ maduros are easily one of my favorites, when they are right, and they are "on". It takes a good year to make them smokable anymore, and they still lack the intense body they used to have.
I have to say my least favorite is the Cuban Classic. They make me want to chunk.

Haven't had a whole lot yet, but out of the ones I've had I've liked them all. I guess the one that impressed me the least was the Holts Fumadore.

Old Henry from Holt's
I have tried different ones and they all tasted like cheap spice.

Haven't tried many newer ones. Of those I have, the My Father is definitely not one I will buy again. I'm not a fan of the Tat reds either. My Father was just boring and not the flavors I like from him. The reds I've smoked have had too many construction issues for a NC.

I agree with the 601 and the Cuban Classic but I actually like the Miami quite a bit.

Strange......I too really haven't like any of the JJ's I've smoked!!
I was sooooooooo impressed with the CI Legend Yellow Label (by Pepin) gifted to me by Mr. B, I bought a box of 'em

As a card carrying Pepin nuthugger this is heresy but I don't care for the JJ, Nacionales W and Vegas Cubanas.

The only one I think i've really disliked was CI legends. The ones some of you guys don't like are some of my favorites. You're all CRAZY!!!

Anyone try the cigar.com corojo label? I've heard good things about it...

Granted, I haven't tried all of the Pepin blends, but from those I've smoked so far, it's like sex: even when it's bad it's still pretty good.

I have and liked the one I was gifted very much.
I didn't care much for Tat Red Label. I also smoked one Pepin Blue that was great and one that was pitiful. Fumadores are nothing to write home about either.
