Highly rated cigars that you don't care for?

Alec Bradleys have been a let down. The Tempus line sampler was my first purchase of a single brand of cigars (besides mixed samplers) and I was so excited and proud of having this top 10 cigar and how pretty they looked. Total let down.

You need to start smoking some ccs!!!
Give the Tempus Maduro a try. I like it much better.
I'm with you on this one. Overpriced too. I've tried them a couple times but it just never does anything for me.
Most RP stuff (though Amilcar Perez Castro seems to be doing some neat stuff with him now - I really liked Vudu).
Not too huge on the LP No. 9, but the No. 9 Flying Pig is phenomenal.
And while I have certainly had some stellar CC's, I find the country's reputation for cigars a little overinflated.

Illusione.
I like the Epernay, cruzado, nosotros.... just not the "regular' illusione!
The only Illusione i do like is the HL Maduro.... go figure, Dion had to make a stick in a maduro for me to like it!

I'm sure I'm in the minority, but Opus don't really blow my mind. For all the hype they get, I would take a Guapo maduro any day.
I've heard a lot of people say/agree that Opus need five years of rest in order to hit their "sweet spot" which seems crazy to me. You shouldn't have to purchase one of the most expensive lines of cigars and let it sit for years before it would be considered awesome.
I also don't care for Gurkhas or Rocky Patel products (excluding the Edge Lite for some reason).

Can't get into the sharpie's. Flavour isn't bad but the dyed wrappers don't work at all for me.

Agree with Ben on the Stradivarius being the most overrated/overpriced. Also agree with many on Opus (not that I don't like them, but not for that price point and they still need age).
All Cohiba NC's (not much of a stretch there)

I know I am opening a can of worms with this one but I am surprised that I did not see any CC RE or LE on anyones list. I do not smoke many CCs however I have found that to me the newer REs and LEs are nothing special compared to the traditional lineup. Of course that leaves more for the rest of you. My first CC LE was a Partagas Serie D I think #3 or 4 from 01/02. I was gifted this while in Qatar and it was the best CC I have ever had. I have had A few of the Bolivar REs among others that just fell flat to me.
Nah, don't worry, I'm on board with ya.
Partagas Serie D No. 4 is the second best CC I've ever had (first being Monte No. 4).
For me, CC's are good (and some are phenomenal) but If I had to choose between the smorgasbord of blends available in NC's, or only smoking CC's for the rest of my life, the decision is an easy one.
