Wow factor cgars - cigars that unexpectedly hit the spot!

[lbowles2]

+1 to the JdN Cabinetta, Edge Missile Corojo (maduro is good but not as good), and the Outlaw.

My biggest surprise for a cheap smoke... Devils Weed. Mild to medium with a little bit of peppery spice. Draw is perfect. Love it. And only about $1.50 each :thumbsup:

Gotta give a "Yeah Brother" to CudaChris on the Camacho Corojo 11/18. A less expensive Camacho that also had some 'wow' factor for me was the Coyolar Puro torpedo.

Joya de Nicaragua Antaño 1970

 

[awhitaker]

I'm smoking my first Henry Clay after seeing them mentioned in many posts on here. It's a Rothchilde maduro. It's really smooth with hints of cocoa and little hints of cinnamon. For a cheap smoke, it's really good. I might have to pick up a box for a every day smoke.

I had a cigar give me a "happy ending" once. That was a nice surprise.

[earful]

On the budget side, a victor sinclair tobacconist series rosado robusto, sporting an ecuadorian sun grown wrapper before it became all the rage. Not much flavor variations but a hearty, spicy smoke w/ hints of cinnamon and cloves. Like smokin' apple pie!

 

[swingerofbirches]

Pinar Del Rio Habano Sungrown Torpedo - incredible smoke for the price (roughly $5-6)
Litto Gomez Diez Small Batch 3 - pricey but fantastic

[LTS 4 Bad Cigars]

PDR Habano for me. I have smoked through darn near a box in the last 30 days. I cannot put these sticks down.

 

[gentimmy]

Gurkha G3

yeah, I said gurkha....

though I may have been inebriated at the time...

 

[cigarlaw]

I picked up a stick at IPCPR, and thought it was gonna be a dog rocket. Started smoking in it, and said "What in the heck IS this? It's freaking great!" Ransacked the humi for more, alas, I'm dumb and only got one. Heck, I even had a T-Shirt from these guys, but only got one stick. Like I said, dumb,dumb, dumb.

La Caridad del Cobre. Remember that name. Reasonably priced, outstanding flavor, medium in body. Really, really good stuff.

Thanks for the kind words about my cigars. Really appreciate it. -Frank Herrera

Thanks for including my cigars in your list. Really appreciate be included. -Frank Herrera

 

[ingenios]

Partagas de Luxe. Funky tiger-striped tube, small RG... I'm thinking "tight draw, grassy flavors..." Surprise! Tasted a lot like a Reyes, one of the best of the short smokes.

I would also add the RP 15th. Thought it was a great, strong smoke, but reserving judgment because I've only had one. Hopefully it doesn't go downhill in future years...

 

[Carpe Diem]

My contribution:

Padilla Signature 1932 Limitada Oscuro Salomon
