It depends on the context of over-rated... what I meant by that is, the hype that goes into Cuban cigars being some holy grail, usually from non-smokers. First question they ask is: "ever smoke any Cuban cigars?!" Like they are mythical. I totally get what you are saying though. I will stand by the point that they are rushed now, and do not have the same quality as 20 years ago. Also I agree that cuban cigars have a distinct flavor profile as I stated. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it! Glad to see another cigar smoker on here.
