I just can't smoke the stuff, tastes like dirt and what I presume sweaty feet taste like, anyone else feel the same way?

The only cigar that I have had that has any honduran filler is the CAO MX2 and it is one of my favorite smokes, but the filler was only partly honduran. I have had some with binders from honduras and that hasn't been a problem either. I have never a straight honduran filler. maybe it only works well with others!

I like most Camacho's, especially the Corojo (the brown label Davidoff)

Nope, I like me some Honduran leaf:
Camacho
Punch Gran Puro
El Rey del Mundo
Don Tomas
Maria Mancini
5 Vegas Gold
Nestor Reserve Connecticut
Granted, it's also the domain of Rolando Reyes
:-), but there's tasty sticks coming out of the country, don't kid yourself.

I've never had Mexican, and the only Brazilian I;ve had have been Brazilian Maduro wrappers. Those weren't bad.

maybe I should have been more subtle,
I think Brazilian tobacco sucks. I know a lot of people love it, I don't.

I bought a box of ERdM Tinos from JR's a while back that was fantastic. They also had an '02 box code when I got them so the 5+ years of rest may have had something to do with it.
Does that mean I'm going to be buying any Honduran smokes in the near future?
...not likely
:-)
(unless I can find another box of those '02s)

Punch Gran Puros are fantastic. I also quite like HdM Excallibur maduros, which are at least partly honduran.

As far as NCs, would rather have Nicaraguan, with Dominican and Honduran next.

...just to name a few others. No, I don't think all Honduran tobacco tastes like dirt. Honduran tobacco has a secure place in my humidor.

It depends on who blends it and how it is fermented/cured. The Eiroa boys (Camacho) can blend Honduran tobacco very well, so can Nestor Plasencia IMO. Honduran tobacco does have a very earthy flavor, and if it's lousy tobacco that flavor can easily go from "earthy" to "sour dirt".
Honestly, Dominican tobacco is my least favorite. Smoked a Columbian puro recently and it had potential but was way too mild.

Camacho - limited experience, but the ones I've had were good
Punch - any of their blends, good cigar at a good price point.
