Having said that - first let me just say that it's not uncommon for a
not care for the Cohiba line - partly due to the high price and the need for an well-aged one - but as one gets more knowledgeable and comfortable with the price of top-shelf puros, most begin to cum around.
As for what puros I don't particularly enjoy, why that would be the Juan Lopez line. I know it's a vastly popular puro in this neck of the woods, but I just can't seem to find one that I get on with.
But that's just me, no doubt!

I think that someone touched on it earlier that you can't really compare mini's & clubs to 'normal' cigars.
Normal as in the slighter higher ring gauge, my experience was started on the mini's etc. If I have one now, I find them quite bitter & harsh.
I think as your cigar experience grows & your palate adapts, you will appreciate the nuances that cigars have.
Touching on the Cohiba theme, I've found that age makes a huge difference to them, you're talking perhaps a minimum of 3 yrs at least to get that smooth creaminess instead of a harsh peppery taste.

I'm not mad on new ones, ie any that haven't been aged for a minimum of 3 -5 years.
I find them rougher and lacking subtlety.
The best Cuban cigars I have ever smoked have been aged for a minimum of 10 years by someone who knows how to keep cigars.Nic

And, if you can, you must!Comment

I like most cigars from most of the brands but I'm not a fan of Hoyo de Monterrey (apart from the DC). I've tried them all expect a couple from the 'Le Hoyo' range but they're not for me....
Fonseca don't do much for me (The French RE is good though)Comment

Hey Stevie, one of the best Cuban's I ever smokes was a HDM Epicure No 1 from a cabinet at JJ Fox, some 15 years old I sat upstairs and smoked it and the aroma was overwhelming, just a stunning cigar.Nic
