Happened here, in beer ones, rum ones, scotch ones, etc. Not saying you did this.
I just do not get when people like a certain thing and it happens to be considered low end by those in the know. Why is it an issue or whatnot. They like what they like.
To me it just must taste good, be fairly smooth, and of course have proper alcohol content. I get hungover either way after a few shots of it. Even despite what someone else said in the thread, even on pure high end stuff like patron. Tequila is one of the few hard alcohols that I really like, like in a way that makes me not want to drink it often due to my fear of liking it to much.

I am partial to my friend's tequila because it's good and I know how it's made.
Patron has changed their recipe 4x in 10 years.
As for dos lunas I'll tell you why I think it's one of the best. It's 100% organic. They are currently applying for organic certification in mexico. this is a 5 year process and they are 3 years into it. you need to have your fields herbicide and pesticide free for 10 years. they use goats and cows to keep the weeds down.
another step they do that many do not is to remove the wax from the male plants. some people say this is what helps cause hang overs.
then when it comes to processing many places use calcium chloride to help speed up fermentation and keep down bacteria. that is something else dos lunas does not do.
many companies also add glycerin to help help numb your throat cuz their tequila is so harsh. another thing dos lunas does not.
as for aging dos lunas is aged in American white oak barrels (old jack daniels barrels)
when you drink it you will notice hints of leather and vanilla. very smooth. you can drink it on ice or straight up and its smooth like sipping whiskey.
i have given it to many people who say they hate tequila and they love it.
