Everyone has their tastes. I find many of his cigars rather one dimensional. Just one mans opinion.
even though i've been smoking a long time, I am a noobie to actually learning to be a connoiseur. i can appreciate a smoke that is good from beginning to end. it's nice to have that reliable stick. there's nothing worse than a stick that goes from okay to good to skanky as it burns. i haven't tried enough sticks out there to know everything but i sure like a dependable stick. I think he does that well. I can see what you mean by one dimensional but sometimes I can appreciate that. a lot of his sticks are "Go To" sticks in my book. the Padilla Habano, MoW, and ITC 10yr are perfect examples
I can't say I've had a stick of his I didn't enjoy. Some I like more than others, but he really is excellent at what he does. There are a few on the list I didn't know he made, lol. Looks like I have a few more on my list to try.
I bought a box of La Cuna Bin 85's about a month ago for really cheap and I wasn't real impressed with them fresh off the truck. Perhaps with a little rest on them they'll be better.
After my harsh remarks about the Bin 85 earlier I decided to revisit it today. I'm glad I have these now as it was way better than the first one I had. I started with strong nutty flavors of Macadamian nutt. In my experiences, most cigars have a peppery finish to them more times than not. I've never had with an incredibly sweet finish with flavors of cherry, apricot, and melon. Perfect burn as well.
Wow, of that list I have had twenty-two of them, and of those there is only one that I did not like, That one must have just been a fluke, which I will have to try again.
I haven't tried nowhere near everything on the list Alex posted. However, I have tried a few, and they're all on my go-to list. Funny, I always thought Nica Libre was blended by Oliva. I stand corrected. AJ Fernandez now blends my favorite smoke.

I love that cigar, clearlysuspect. It tastes like nothing else on the market.
