What is the cigar that you absolutely LOVE to smoke, but for some reason it flies under the radar, or is overwhelmingly under-priced? What's your secret cheap stick that beats many sticks twice its price? etc.

    J. Fuego Origin and Padilla Miami. Awesome cigars which can regularly be had for $2.50-$3.50 each. Staples of my humidor.

    Probably Gran Habano Vintage 2002 because of its great price point, although pretty much everyone here knows about it so I wouldn't say it flies under the radar.

    Cusano Paired Maduro is one that is also good for the price that i don't see people talk about too much. LHC original too.

    On a serious note probably the mass made A. Fuente blends and a lot of the oliva blends. They can get pretty cheap.

    That's the only original I have yet to try. How are those compared to the others? My picks would be 777 maddy and Perdomo lot 23

    Gispert Corona En Tubo. Just a couple of bucks apiece and they remind me a bit of the AJ Fresh Rolled Corona after it has some age on it.

    Perdomo Habano with either the Habano or Maduro wrappers. Gurkha Park Avenue also flies under the radar.

    7-20-4 made by Kurt Kendall. Jalapa grown Habano hybreed wrapper, Indoneshia binder, filler from Esteli and Jalapa. Medium to full bodied.

    Four Kicks blended by E.P. Carillo, brand created by Jon Huber, former marketing genius from CAO. After Davidoff took over CAO, Jon left and started his own line. Wrapper Ecuadorian Habano, binder and fillers are from Nifaragua. Some critics say some fillers are Dominican. Straight medium bodied.

    Nording and (sorry ccom), CI Legends rocky Patel. Can be bought for under 2 bucks a stick for a toro with lots of caramel sweetness that everyone I've given it to loves.

    5 Vegas A torp. That is one fine smoke after 9-12 months, and for less than $2!!!

    If I told you it wouldn't be a secret anymore, would it?....







    And the cat may already be out of the bag on this one, but the 5V CSII. About $5.50/stick if you buy a box - or keep an eye on the sprint sale, I've seen them go for close to half that.

    * I have a new address as of 3/24/18 *

    Definitely Fuente Cheateau Sungrown. But since Doc already mentioned this one, I'd have to say AB Tempus Habano & Maduro. I also like the LGC Reserva Flechas Especiales Maduro but that one is a little more at about $6.50-$7.00

    I would say the Perdomo 10th Anniversary Reserve Maduro Robusto's. Found them on cigar sprint, auctioneer, and cbid for super cheap. Love that stick. You can get them right now for sale for $3.80 a stick (box price)

    Gran Habano Azteca Fuerte is a solid an cheap smoke that I really love, and 8-5-8 Fuente Sungrown can be had for less than five a pop if you are patient.
