Celebrity Cigars .......has there ever been a really good one?

Celebrity cigars.........has one ever been a really good one?

This was discussed at one of  last weeks FOH Zoom sessions. We cover all the big issues 

Whether it is a cigar brand that is owned by a "celebrity" or one that is named after a "celebrity".................has there ever been a good one?

I've heard Karl Malone Barrel aged cigar (made at the La Aurora Factory) was good. I believe Karl is the brand owner and pays the Leon Family to blend and produce the cigar.

I know Illusione just came out with a blend named after or collaborated with Jeremy Piven, they are one of the more cubanesque NC producers and I have enjoyed their cigars greatly in the past. So I would hope it would be good but haven't had one.

The PIV. I have also heard from fellow cigar media that they're quite good. In my review rotation in the next few weeks, I look forward to sitting down with it.

Avo line of cigars are great.  How much of a celebrity Avo Uvezian is; is debatable.

Has anyone heard of Sir Winston?

Root for the wrong team and that's what happens.

Don Diego Playboy wasn’t a horrible mild cigar back in the early 00’s.  Wasn’t great either.  Not sure it counts but closest I can think of.

This was actually okay ...Tom Brady whatever cigar. Held its own in the West Australian Pilbara red dust

Somebody is trying to sell an old dried out one of these in Denver for a ridiculous amount of money.
