Too many bad experiences. Mostly off flavors of underfermented tobacco. There's no reason why 5+ yr old cigars kept in low 60s humidity with no cello should taste like ammonia after the first 2". I recently tossed the remnants of a box of Tatuajes that I bought back in 2014. No sh*t. Did the same with a box of My Father Cedros Deluxe that I bought in 2016. And I've given them way more chances beyond that. The last straws were a box of San Cristobal Elegancia that appeared to have been constructed by a blind monkey, and a 5 pack of MF Le Bijou torpedoes that tasted like turpentine after 2 years. I know it's not my palate, because I still smoke all kindsa other cigars without the same issue.
The others are on the list for various reasons. Poor construction, inconsistent blends, bland flavor, chemical/ammonia flavor, etc.
