Brands that I just don't "get"

[MusicCity]

For me, one that springs to mind is Crowned Heads.  Most of their blends are a miss for me even when they are coming out of a factory I like (My Father).

I really liked the Crowned Heads Headley Grange Corona Gorda and the Crowned Heads LE 2015 Mason Dixon Project Southern Edition cigars I smoked for the Greek Critique a I did a while back.

Here's the thing....hobbyists tend to have different tastes just like anything else be it food, libations, cars, etc.  For me....Diamond Crowns have always been a cigar that just doesn't appeal to me but I know it has a following and there are a ton of brands that have that have a following.  I try not to "pooh pooh" brands that don't appeal to me unless they are a brand that tries to "over market" and hype themselves.....rhymes with Burpa.

I love CH's cigar for the most part...they are complex cigars and match my wheelhouse just like many other cigar brands but I realize that not every one hits them out of the park.  We live in a time as a cigar hobbyist where we have choices and lost of them....that's a good thing.
