That is right folks...this normall calm/collected Red Sox fan is getting impatient with the lack of production with the 2011 Boston Red Sox and their current (good for last in all of baseball) 2-9 record. Lets all come up with a list of things that didn't live up to the hype (like the Sox, thus...

I guess it has to do with the "forbidden fruit" factor. Personally, I feel there are many better tobaccos to be enjoyed and at a much lower cost too! Being from Canada, I have travelled to Cuba many times and have had the opportunity to taste even the lesser known brands, to the surprise of...

So I smoked my first Opus today, and I didnt really enjoy it to tell ya the truth. It started out a tad spicy, but that went away, and what I get was a sensation Ive never had before. It was like the smoke was really heavy, as in weight, on my tongue, with a very strong taste of I guess...

I wasn't sure what to expect of the Soprano with the ties to the TV show but this is one magnificent cigar. Lots of chocolate and nutty flavors th... Read the full review here: CAO Sopranos Associate Cigar Review - More than hype!

I usually purchase box of these a year, usually in the natural Cameroon wrapper variety. This year was a bit different in that I I had chance at... Read the full review here: Arturo Fuente Hemingway Work of Art (M) Cigar Review - Not worth all the hype

I'm curious if Gurkha is as good as most have touted themselves in advertising and descriptions. I've heard mostly good things and I know I like a full bodied cigar, just not sure I want to get them if they're going to be a let down in the end. My local B&M has the G3, G5 Avenger, Evil's in...

I was thinking of picking up one for this weekend, but I have no idea if these are good right off the shelf, should they rest for a while, what size is the best, or what the flavor profile is. I'm a stout full bodied cigar man, and I don't want to waste my money and time on something that I...

This cigar was good, but I think its been overrated. It reminded me a lot of the RP Edge Maduro. In fact, it even had the band on the foot. Flavors... Read the full review here: Oliva Cain Robusto Maduro Cigar Review - Good cigar, but not equal to the hype

The thread title pretty much says it all...which smokes (which are popular and highly reviewed) did you find to be anything but great? For me, it is Oliva V. I have smoked both the original blend and the maduro...and as much as I wanted to like them, I didn't. I know MANY people out there...

I hope I got a dud because it was almost flavorless, spice and thats about it. And even the spice wasnt very strong. Burn was jagged and had to be touched up a lot, draw was too loose. The V blows the Cain away in all aspects in my opinion. Has anybody else not been impressed by the Cain? Should...

this cigar is very smoothwith a long and even burn.burned cool all the way down to the nub.notes of chocolate and coffee bean. Read the full review here: Oliva Series V Belicoso Cigar Review - worth the hype

My old lady bought me three of these as a X-mas gift. I was giddy. I know what kind of reputation the Opus X has and I rarely treat myself to a cig... Read the full review here: Opus X Robusto Cigar Review - Don't believe the hype.

Montecristo Reserva Negra Montecristo Reserva Negra Cigar Review - Nothing near the hype. Looks good. Smokes well. Burns well. Nothing to write home about. The ads pumped it up too much. Just once I'd like to see an ad that says, Read the full review here: Montecristo Reserva Negra Montecristo...

Good Evening Folks. It seems there are quite a few people ill with one type of flu or another these days. I thought I would post a new forum and get everyones thoughts and opinions on the matter. For me, It's - Media Hype, (to some degree) .. :blabla: THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL THE WORLD...

I have only been smoking cigars for a few months now but have broadened my horizons rather quickly. When I first started out I enjoyed mild to medium bodied cigars such as Montecristo's. After joining this site I learned more about the vast majority of shapes, flavor profiles, brands, etc. I...

Maybe I expected too much from these, but they don't live up to the billing. They are good, spicy up front and then earthy and leathery. After the ... Read the full review here: Padilla 1932 Robusto Cigar Review - Didn't live up tp the hype

I rested this thing for 6 months in mu humi, fired it up and it was still very harsh. Plenty of spice, but it was not a very enjoyable cigar. Const... Read the full review here: Gurkha Ancient Warrior Robusto Cigar Review - Too Much Hype

What a fine cigar... Heady, but smooth and tasty. Exellent burn and draw. I really enjoyed this Series V Double Robusto. I bought another one b... Read the full review here: Oliva Series V Double Robusto Cigar Review - Lives up to hype

I have to say I've been smoking mostly Cubans lately, but I'm really enjoying a Benchmade Cazadore - Pepin blend. Watching Canada deliver a butt kicking to Germany in the Junior's with a nice cold Stella Artois. We're hosting the games here in Ottawa this year, but I'm watching it from home...

I am not rum snob, but I have had my share, but given my location I have only read the "ads" for Havana Club rum from the island.. Is the rum held in highest regards like the smokes? or can you make a comparison to what is available here?:cb
