Just not that into it...

For me it's the Park Avenue. I love the AJ blends, but this one just does nothing for me. A couple of disclaimers, 1) I know this is more of a budget smoke - so I was never expecting a knock out. 2) I'm not usually a huge fan of connies anyway.
I keep revisiting just to be sure - it's a no go. The worst part, I can't pin down what it is. I usually find the first 1/3 almost completely airballs for me. The last 1/3 is more rewarding, I'm usually tired of it by that point anyway.
It's not horrible, it's just not GOOD. Feel free to post the stick you just can't get into, even though you know others like it.

Also most of the blends by Rocky Patel just can't get into them.
For me, it's the entire Padilla line..... just not that into anything from them. I wanna try the 1932 blend. But it's at the bottom of my list.
For me it's the Oliva V, before I had even started reading reviews on line I didn't, but then I read the reviews and it seemed like almost everyone raves about them. Went out and bought another thinking "well I'm must be some kind of an idiot if everyone else loves this smoke", still didn't like it.

Tatuaje is the other one im just not into. they have a very different flavor Profile but im just not excited about them. i see why others like them so much, but they arent my style. i have yet to try all of the tats out there but so far, im not impressed. maybe a different vitola of the cojonu line will work for me. they all seem to vary quite a bit, but im not running out to try em all.
edit:
its strange though....
i have tatuaje in my top 25 simply because of the red and black tubos. those are some solid smokes. i also seem to find myself smoking them quite a bit because many of my local friends seem to smoke ONLY tats....
its a strange relationship me and tatuaje...
i think they are solid cigars but i feel they get way more hype than they are worth. i actually LIKE them, but because of all they hype i always hear about them from friends and other forums i am constantly let down by them as if they should be way better. i guess thats why they made this thread for me.
Had some issues with construction on the Bahia I did try, the experience was so bad I can't even bring myself to give any Bahia another chance. Just not into wasting my money I guess. The G2 was fine just not what I look for in a cigar.
I've found a few Fernandez's blends to be really inconsistent. The ITC 10th, A. Fern Sig, original Man o War, Man o War SE and one other that I can't think of at the moment are pretty sub-par to me. Even the LHC OF is good and beefy, but it just tastes a bit unbalanced to me at times, and I wouldn't be upset if I never smoked one again. The Ruination, on the other hand, I definitely need to hang on to.
