Juan Lopez Seleccion No.2s. I have tried (to like them) and I am still doing so. I split a box six or seven years ago with a friend, he finished his half four or five years ago and loved them. Mine are sitting at the bottom of a big tupperdor. Every six to twelve months I re-visit them hoping for a change in fortune.

This, Ditto.

John I think I have the box code of these as you do because we have discussed them in the past.

I just don't get them and how they are so cherished by so many on here..

PSD4 - man I keep trying, but I just don't get em. Have a HQ box from 21 I think that smells and looks glorious, but just doesn't taste good at all. 

RASS - Another popular one that I don't get. The one I've had out of a 50 cab was by and away the best, light wrap on it maybe helped? 

I too am surprised at all the votes for E2. They're near the top of the party line for me. (now if only they could get the PSD4s to taste like them )

RA Superiors and QdO 50's.

I just thought of another one Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial. Again it was a one off I bought a SLB of 10 and they were flat and tasteless, never bought another one!

I don't get Petit Robustos. If they taste good, they don't last long enough to enjoy them. One thing they are good for is burning fingers.

They are also for people who like ponies...

Habanos QC should read this thread. Hobviously we're all heathens as we don't hunderstand hand made products. Wouldn't catch hinfluencers moaning like this.

Juan Lopez. Smoked a few of each vitola and all were blah to me, even several with 10-20 years age on them.

The entire Montecristo line apart from the #2 and the Especial. Yet to try the Wide Edmundo though. 

Always struggled with Punch apart from the DC but have sticks hitting the 8 year mark from that marca that are starting to help me get what the fuss is about. 

HDM Epi No 2. I will try again soon but gee I've only ever had disappointment from these.

You’re in for a treat.

I see this conversation as a trading opportunity.

Cuaba Salomon was a cigar I didn’t understand. Did not enjoy the vitola at all which was surprising to me as I thought I would have.

QD50 as well, have heard great things about them but my box has been very disappointing. Still have some hope for those as they are barely going to have two years of age on them but still I definitely expected them to be AT LEAST average.

Come to think of it I have never had a good one either! Strange as I love the rest of the line!

Same boat here in enjoying most of the line but not the Royal Robusto, so far. QdO 50 has been hit and miss for me so far as well.

Vegueros, but I haven't had too many.

Cuaba and Fonseca aren't great but I have had ok/good ones.

These marcas can all be hit or miss. Have smoked fine examples of all three but also many lackluster ones.

QDO 50s and Hoyo DCs are like smoking cigars that aren't lit, way too light for me. The box of Monte 2s I have wasn't rolled on virgin thighs, more like granny's butt cheeks.
