Game: Name a cigar youve NEVER heard a bad word about.

I thought this would be an interesting departure from normal review discussions. The premise basically is: Name one cigar you've never heard anyone speak badly about. The rules basically are that you cant have heard anyone ever have a negative comment about this cigar, aside of very minor non-flavor issues (things like "slight burn issue" or "slight construction issue" etc.) I think the development of this list could be interesting as usually everyone has heard one person speak badly about some cigar some time or another. Interesting to see if any contradictions show up.

THANK YOU!!!!!LOL
I thought i heard someone on here say they didnt think the VSG was anything special...and i believe it was Kooz.
5 vegas gold. FAR too mild. its like holding a stick in my hands and every now and then putting it to my mouth. ok flavor but it would not hold my attention for more then 15 min.
5 Vegas Classic is fairly uncomplex.... however its a good uncomplex.
OpusX... ive heard many a grumble about them. Mostly that they are over rated.
GOF: over rated again. i mean, seriously, $30+ for it? WTF?
monte whites suffer from the same problem that 5 Vegas gold do. Way too mild. With that little flavor/body i dont know how they command the price they do. Gurkha Centurian... two words : Burn issues.
Gurkha Beast is a bit washed out in flavor. Ironically, if they had a smaller ring i bet they would be better... cant call em "beast" then, can you?
LFD Ligiero... hmmm ... i guess that depends if you had a meal before hand. if you dont like the ligero flavor you are SOL. its like the Lx2... ok smoke but uncomplex.
I have a miami... but have never smoked one.
CAO america... i havent had that either, but i know a few that dont like it.
CAO black...honestly i dont remember.... 1926... havent had it Camacho Triple maduro... again havent had it but most seem to expect one thing and they get another. i dont know if thats "bad" but it does put off a few people.
i hope that helped/hurt
Hey what
let me go back and be positive about those very same cigars.
the Ashton VSG is great. I havent put it in my catalog yet but if i were to do so im guessing i would give it a 92-93
5 Vegas Gold is mild but if you like mild cigars this is a good one for you. the taste is a bit light, but as far as mild cigars go, you wont get too much better
5 Vegas Classic is uncomplex but like i said, its a GOOD uncomplex. yeah, the flavor doesnt change, but the flavor that is there is good.
mmmm sumatra
Opus X overrated? maybe. still my favorite cigar.
Gurkha Centurian... still my favorite gurkha. very close to the Opus.
Gurkha Beast i said my negative about this one like i didnt have 2 of them sitting in my humidor. its a good smoke. i just think it could be better with a better wrapper to filler ratio.
God of Fire.... $30 of YUM!
Monte Whites you will never have construction issues with this cigar. ever
LFD ligero or Double ligero
the power that this cigar has is great. its nice to have a strong cigar that will make you want to sit but is still enjoyable. its a good cigar to give to your golf buddies if they dont smoke cigars. itll throw off their game.
5 vegas miami havent had it
CAO america again, havent had it
CAO black ditto
Padron 1926 ditto
Triple maduro... to many its a very different cigar. i wouldnt know... but i like maduro and i like camacho.
do we all feel better now?
LOL
