I agree with this....As far as the DES...It was the best Viaje hands down in my book!
Disappointing/Overrated Cigars

Quesada Espana did not impress, nor did the Verite '09.
To be fair, the Verite received a lot of press more for the very original idea and format, and less on the reviews.

I know because of the experience I have with the Espana and Oktoberfest....the only difference between the Espana and the Jalapa is the wrapper ( the Jalapa has a light tan shade which is for the US market )....I've had the Espana at a 30 day mark and at 6 months and 1 year and if you can wait that long the Espana is very good...so this is why I know the Jalapa is going to be just as good at 6 months and a year.
Like you said we don't have to agree at all when we talk about cigars....as to what we like vs what somebody else likes. Some people actually like Guantanameras and then you have some great cigars that are discontinued..go figger.

Almost everything by Tatuaje, Viaje, and Alec Bradley. My biggest disappointment of 2012 has by far been the FFOX Black Orchid.
Anything by Diamond Crown, Opus X Lost City, DAGA, The Drac are all disappointing. I completely agree with the Anarchy and most Viaje. The Tat Black Tubos were a waste of money. I have a box of Jalapa Belicoso, so I hope they turn out to be better than reported above!

I'm quite aware that the only difference between the España & Jalapa are their wrappers. I've also tried every size of the Jalapa too & I've been left feeling the same with each....utterly disappointed. So therefore, I just flat out don't agree when you say (as a matter of fact) that:
Maybe to you they are, and I totally respect/accept that, but to me, they just aren't...

Same here though I do enjoy Lost City
I smoked all 3. I agree with everyone that the beli was the best, but it just doesn't do it for me. I smoked 3-4 in each vitola. I bought a few thinking I was going to like them and it just didn't work for me.
This isn't a statement on Quesada either, because I'm normally a big fan of their cigars, especially most of their recent releases.
It was just disappointing, that's all.
And just to clarify my stance on the difference between the Jalapa and Espana: there was this sort of mineral-like twang to the Espana that I just didn't get from the Jalapa. I'm sure a wrapper can and does normally make a huge difference from cigar to cigar. Isn't that why many of us on this forum enjoy thinner ring gauge cigars?

I had a Padron 64 a while back that I couldn't wait to try. When I finally lit it up I was pretty unimpressed. I still keep hearing how great they are though so I will give it another shot some day.
Bingo.
Wet socks lol..I hope you don't know from experience
A lot of love hate for the Jalapa. I've only burned through a couple and the first was somewhat of a let down but it was windy outside and I was not focused on the cigar. The second one was enjoyed on my couch and it was extremely good. You have to let the smoke wash over your sinuses and the aroma is very nice. A sipping cigar that needs to be retro-haled for the flavors to show. It is fairly light bodied though.
LP9 never did it for my palate. T52 is great to me, but the 9 comes off as dark and lacking richness and vibrancy.

Though I would bring this back because of the current "forgotten about" thread
My most recent letdown was the Fine and Rare torp (2012)
