Just curious. Don't know if there's a thread already but what is your single most under rated/ under the radar smoke
Mine is the Cuavana Intensus, love these things and have never had a bad one.

Right now, I'm feeling the Sol Cubana Cuban Cabinet.

Mine would be the only Gurkha i really like, Park Avenue

For me, the Oliva G Maduro and AJ Signature sumatra (now discontinued) are underrated. I also feel like the old Padilla Miami and Padilla Dominus blends were a bit underrated as well.

Mine would have to be the Cuban Stock Extra. Great smoke! My B&M only carried them for a few months. Since my humi is still full I don't have the heart or space to order any more for myself. Lol

Beat me to it! I think this cigar never gets the love it deserves. You have to give it humi-time, takes about 6 weeks for me to start getting the right flavors from it. Also, it begs, no, DEMANDS to be smoked slowly. If you'll do these two things, though, it's well worth the wait, and decidedly worth the money. I like the Toros best, after that, the #4 is an awesome after-lunch smoke.

I like those Oliva G's a lot, too. And I really miss the old Padilla Miami.

I know it has been said but, the original Padilla Miami Maduro is my under rated pick. I got a box at Cigar Fest 3 years ago maybe and they were under $75.00 back then. Just a really good stick. Second to that would be the Lucky 13 corona, another very under rated stick.

Did they just re-do the bands or has the blend completely changed since I last checked in 2011?

VUDU and Xikar Maduro.... both totally underated.

Same girl in a different dress. I like the cedar wrap, myself, although some seem to have mold problems with them. I never have.

Nice. Thanks for the info. I've always been a fan of AJ. I'll have to give the Sol Cubano another try. I had it ROTT when I was a newbie and didn't like it then. Maybe my palate's changed.

I got some and thought I had the wrong stick based on the pictures, but the label said Cuban Cabinet, so I went with it! It's an affordable cigar, but there's no "for the price" attached to my evaluation of "good" for this one. I do agree you have to smoke it slow. It went great with an Abita Andygator Helles Dopplebock, too...

Damn! I should have checked for that before I ordered. I don't think the Warden will allow another purchase this quickly.

Why'd you have to tell everybody that?

Of course, you told me too, so you're forgiven.

Yep. My first one had 3 - 4 months on it. I loved it! Ordered a flight sampler right away. Couldn't wait and smoked one ROTT. Bleh! I was so disappointed! A few weeks later, they started improving. 2 - 3 months and they're great again. So it goes.

Just beating a dead horse here, but I'm gonna again say the Perdomo Lot 23.

Kristoff Sumatra. I've had a few of the lanceros and they're really good!

I'm yet to try these. Any particular wrapper you like?

Oliva V Maduro, loved every year but the 13 is my favorite.

Not really. One person said the maduro was bad but I've liked each one equally tbh. I did a small review a bit recently but I'm hardly knowledgeable: http://www.cigar.com/cs/forums/thread/767494.aspx

Another perdomo that is underrated in my opinion is the habano with the criollo wrapper. Rested a fiver minus the cello for a few months and they were delicious.

Jesus Fuego 777 Maduro

Hickory smoke on the palate when retrohaling was enough to get me to buy a 10er of the coronas.

Same blender, different stick for me. I'd go with the J. Fuego Origen Original. Delicious short smoke that few seem to be aware of.

Yeah, I've had it. Not really underrated, I've seen a lot of places talk it up. Have you tried the Original Maduro? Really good too!

Nice I might have to jump on this if there's any money left in my paycheck. Some great feedback here. Quite a few I haven't tried and a few I need to get again. I'd always wondered about the Origin.

I really like Fighting ***. So much awesome flavor(reminds me of Graham Crackers), and had no problems with the 30+ sticks I've had. Not bad for less than a buck a pop.

EDIT:Fighting C O C K. It wont let put those letters together.
