Which cigar didn't live up to your expectations in 2015?

You're disappointed that it wasn't as bad as you'd hoped?

Yep lol

Nothing released in 2015 stands out as a disappointment to me. However, I didn't try every single release from every manufacturer either... Most of the major releases I tried and most of it did not disappoint. I think it goes without saying that some of the 2015 releases took some time before they started hitting their mark. Although, this can be with any release any year. As with some of the sentiments of some who've shared already, a lot of the 2015 releases smoked great for me. I am hopeful we have another great year of releases, excited to see what happens...

Can't agree more here. I was kicking myself for not buying a box but after I had a couple I was glad I missed out. This was by far my biggest letdown of 2015. I also read rave reviews for the leaf by Oscar. I thought that they were aweful as well.

Tatuaje 2015 TAA was an amazing smoke in my opinion one of the best I had last year, also given the fact I had not tried the previous years, I luckily landed a box before it sold out everywhere in Houston.

Sobremesa did not quench my hunger, I felt it was missing a lot in the blend.

i hardly remember the bad ones just the good ones. i know i chucked a few since last may but can't remeber which ones they were

Las Mareas. I gave it 6 tries. Sopping wet even with a 2 day dry box. Smoked like shit, tasted like wet tobacco.

Surprised they released them like this.... or maybe my BM got bunk boxes? Who knows. Too many other cigars out there to keep takin chances on these?

It's not their humidor either. Every other smoke out of that shop is perfection RH wise.

Tatuaje TAA 2015 ... They are the worst tatuaje I've ever had. I had high hopes of them being great upon release. But they are straight garbage ... At the moment.

In all honesty, I thought they were ok. I had high hopes they'd taste like the 11's. They didn't. IMO of course. I'll wait and see what some age does to them before I part with mine. Seems a lot of folks are dumping them off quickly.

Most NC's from 2015 where a let down for me. I can't really recall anything memorable.

It would be impossible to get the same flavor unless they used the exact same tobacco from that time bro

I picked up a couple Cuban Crafters Medina Series after reading abundant of good reviews as a "bargain stick" since they are about a 30min drive away. Was disappointed, no flavor, quick burn...bordering on a waste of time.

Chuck, go somewhere else!

The 2 biggest let downs for me was the much hyped Sobremessa. It was just disgusting. Tasted like mud. And #2 was the Angels Anvil 2015 was like smoking a macanudo from the deli, before I knew what cigars where

The Camacho Shellbacks were a disappointment compared to the hype it was getting from Camacho

Tried my first one Friday & it didn't do anything for me. I've got a couple more to try,maybe I got a bad stick. Was just nothing there!

Same here, mine just wouldn't burn and when it did was wonky. Way too wet

I may be in the minority here but I was not impressed with the Las Calaveras 2015. I had a few and they had horrible draws and not much flavor. Maybe I just had some badly rolled ones? I'm letting two rest and I'll judge them soon. I never had the LC2014, but if the La Imperiosa is a close copy of it I love the '14.

 

[Happy Idiot]

I hate to say Dunbarton Sobramesa or whatever its called. Nice, but kinda one note, hard to pick out flavors. And I like subtle nokick sticks. Smoking El Cedro right now.
