    Punch! Call me crazy but I really love a Punch once in a while. They're what got me into premium cigars in the first place.
    i agree with this 100%.

    i was gunna say that when i saw the thread. you beat me to it.


    specifically, the punch Gran Puro.
    it has a very good nutty taste.

    I love threads like this, gets me thinking about cigars I've never tried. I think I'll be looking for a Punch the next time I hit my B&M.

    One that I don't know if you would really call it underrated, but doesn't get talked about much is the Cabaiguan. That is an AWESOME smoke and you never hear much about it around here.

    Good call. I saw it reviewed in CA and tried it out. Loved it! Now if only I could pronounce it...

    I had a Helix about a year ago some cafe somthingoranother...tasted like a goats ass...I honestly would not take one of these if they were giving them out free !!!
    What kind of goat was it that you are comparing these to G?
    Oh yeah, and what was the goats ring gauge ? :) LMAO

    Man I don't care what the goats ring gauge was ...I'd take the goat over a helix !!!
    Do they stay lit? I guess you don't use a punch huh?

    No ...God already pre-punched them for ya ...OMG this is spiraling waayyyy outta control ...LMAO !!!
    What's the finish like on the goat? Creamy?
    Depends on how good you are at smoking. ;)
    You know them Texas boys always end up with a creamy finish from the Longhorns ...

    As a semi-noob to cigars and full-noob to CCOM, I never hear anyone talk much about Fonsecas.  I know they're pretty mild which may be why they don't get much attention, but I've had a few ISOM Fonsecas that I thought had great underlying complexities in flavor.  I still have a couple in the humidor (2+ years) and they are the only cigars I've aged that have ever exihibited a really nice, noticable bloom.  Not sure if the white silk-paper wrapper helped with that or not - either way I just like 'em.

    Camacho SLR Maduro.

    I always thought the Alec Bradly Tempus was underrated and Padilla Miami. That is until CA came out with thier 94 rating for these two smokes...so I guess I can't say there underrated anymore. I thought the Carlos Torano 1916 was a great smoke, but it definitley needs a little age on it.

    The new daily deal is the Carlos Torano 1916 Cameroon. CCOM answered our pleas for a Torano daily deal and our talk of it being underrated!!

    I like to think that's why it's up there anyway! Too bad I'm broke.

    I love fonseca. I recommend them to any friend that's just starting out. Actually, CCom included 4 or 5 of these in a maduro themed weekend blitz a few months ago. One of my favorite milds and top 10 in all my favorites.

    Another one that I haven't heard a lot about on here that I thought was an outstanding smoke is the Nestor Miranda Special Selection Lancero. This thing had a ton of flavor and really suprised me. A buddy of mine got several of them and now they are a regular in our rotation.

    Also, try the Nestor Miranda 20th Anniversary Miami. Available in Rosado and Oscuro.

    I never hear much about them and I can't remember which one it is. La Gloria, like I said couldn't tell you which one it is off the top of my head. Don't hear to many people bring them up

    From my limited experience, I'd have to say Carlos Torano.


    Agreed. Everyone who tries a Torano seems to love them. However, Torano cigars don't seem to get the exposure that others do.

    Maybe CCOM needs to have a Carlos Torano daily deal *hint hint*


    Oh god, there would go my wallet. The Casa Torano is in my top ten favorite cigars. And it costs about $5, lol.


    It looks like CCOM answered our prayers!

    Another smoke that I don't hear a lot about on here but that is very good would have to be the Kristoff. Both the Criollo and the Ligero are great smokes and I've heard the Maduro is too.

    I forgot about until you mentioned it. I might have to track some of these babies down sooner or later...

    If we are talking quality of the stick compared to the price, I say Flor De Oliva! An absolutely great smoke for like $2 a piece. As a budget-concious cigar you really can't beat these. They have become a regular in my humidor.
