this is my go-to cigar as well as my handout for beginner smokers. if you're okay with smoking the smooth/creamy kind, they're AWESOME. i think it's extremely hard to find a light strength cigar w/ medium bodied flavor that is smooth/creamy.

the light/medium/cheap cigars are usually green, but this one is a stand out. i swear by it.

the new jc newmann released cigars are great medium strength/medfull flavor cigars.

private stock = stay away from
don't buy into the internet hype on these bargain cigars. they taste like paper after about an inch & half into the cigar. they are greeeeeeeeeeen.

i gotta try out these nica libres you guys mentioned. i've been looking for a good/cheap ($2 price point) leather/spice cigar that still has a level of smooth refinement. i suppose you can let some camacho negras sit for about 8 months... but they're still a little pricey under the "bargain banner".

another thing.... wouldn't you guys agree that w/ most bargain bin cigars.. they're pretty temperamental?

what i mean is that they definitely need to be well rested/humidified. it's tough times trying to smoke an overly damp or dry bargain bin cigar.

I love the Puros Indios Special Aged Pyramid Maduro!
The New Benchmade Blend by Pepin (don't know why everyone swears they're made by camacho or ashton! *lol*)
Perdomo Fresh Wheel Maduro
and the second cigar I smoked.... The Don Kiki Reds!
Never heard of the benchmade... adding that to my list.

If you make a purchase thru CI you can get a fiver for $10 to try out.

Tempermental.. I gues it depends on the smoke and or the maker. The ones I originally named I just got a fiver of the Nica with another fiver on the way, the Nativo I have a box of lancero's, so will check when I make another box purchase.

One I forgot to name, got a box of and they are cheap are the ITC's, say what you want, I felt it compared to the RP Decade and a lot cheaper.

And if you go through cbid, you can probably beat that price.... maybe not though. Especially if you can find the free shipping code online...
