The most overrated cigar- Your opinions

So, there's several sticks out there that are highly rated, highly priced, and sometimes highly advertised. However, some of these cigars could be considered overrated. By no means does this mean they're bad smokes, but like some things that hit the mainstream of any industry or medium, they're just a little too loved, if that makes sense.
So, this brings us to the question, which cigar do you find to be the most overrated?
Myself, I find Cohiba to be in that vein. It's a nice smoke, but I've encountered a lot of people who think it's the best cigar out there. It has that wheelin' an dealin' cigar smoker luster to it. If you remember the Black Band Project videos, it would be something the guy with the fifteen cell phones would smoke.

To me the Liga Privada is in the category as well. It isn't a bad stick at all, but it reminds me a lot of a few other smokes I can get for $3 less. I think to some people it just seems better than it is because it's Drew Estate finally doing something decent that isn't infused.
Yeah, its cheap and all, but it seems like everyone thinks its the best deal in the universe.
Had one last night, fantastic. The $2 a paid for it was quite obviously worth it.
ive had one cohiba red dot and loved it, got another sitting in the humi getting some age.
ive had 4 classics and hated all of them:(
most over rated for me is anything cuban that ive smoked apart from some of the minis.
living in the uk means there readily avalable but prices start at $16 ish. and for 16 dollars i can order from the states and get a much nicer smoke.
yer a misconception my girlfriends step dad has. ive had fun bringing him non cubans to try. you should see his face its priceless. ill give him a cigar to try, most resently a man o war. and hes blown away with it, then ill tell him were its from. then the big one, how much i paid for it:D
I also disagree with the 5 Vegas Classic. That is a great solid smoke and for the price, you just can't beat it in my pissy ass little opinion. I got a box of them for $40 and you just can't get any better than that for a smoke you enjoy... But thats why they make more than one type of cigar.
That is exactly it! I mean, the 5 Vegas Classic for me is smokeable (it didn't make me gag the Perdomo Golf), but I don't feel that it is worth ANY of my money (not even if it was $1).
In response to the Liga #9, I think that it is an excellent smoke that is very complex and flavorfull, but I will agree that they price is a little steep.
start running.

The Liga Privada was developed for Steve Saka the Drew Estates President ....not that it has anything to do with what ya said Puro ...I'm just sayin...Personally I've not tried that one yet ... I do like most DE cigars though so I would probably like it too ...
And yes I am sure it was real.
My vote also goes to Davidoff.
