What was your Biggest Letdown

[Billb1960]

Here is something a little different. Not asking for the worst or best cigar ever. But what was your biggest Letdown?

I know for me it was the Oliva Serie 'V' Melanio. I had heard so many wonderful things about them, so I went out and bought a box blindly. Let them rest in my humi for a few months and then on the special day that I decided to finally give it a try. I poured myself a few fingers of a nice 15 year old scotch and headed to the front porch to indulge in what I was sure to be one awesome smoke. Everything seemed right and perfect until I started to smoke it. Now it wasn’t bad but I had built it up in my head to be something magical, and felt a little cheated.

Have you guys ever had this happen?

That's how the LP 9 was for me. Now that I know what to expect it's a good cigar but for me not worth the price and certainly not worth chasing it around. The only upside is they sell very quickly on the "secondary" market.

I felt the same way Bill! Even worse... I bought it retail at my local B&M (that is known for their super high prices) instead of going through one of my wholesale suppliers. Boo!
