Most Underrated

[herman]

Not trying to nudge the price/demand relationship, but I still think opinions are opinions.
I'm curious though what cigar do you feel is the least talked about solid smoke? not necessarily under priced, just good cigars you don't see receiving as much attention as others.

There's still so much out there I haven't tried yet, but the one that surprised me is the Joya de Nicaragua Antaño Dark Corojo. I know I have
seen some JdN fans on here but they don't seem to be mentioned much. Maybe it's just because they're old and that's boring to some?

NUB Cameroon's...what few reviews I have seen have been nothing but positive. Great little smoke in my opinion.

[jhedrick83]

The Fuente Gran Reserva Line, to me, is underrated. It's not the best/flashiest/tastiest cigar around but it has very good flavors, superb construction (I've never had a burn or draw issue) and is reasonably priced. I am a Fuente junky though, so take from that what you will.

Gran Habano, especially the Corojo #5.
Ambos Mundos, both the Habano and the Sumatra.
Flores y Rodriguez Cabinet Selection, Maduro and Habano

[jhedrick83]

Gran Habano, especially the Corojo #5.


That's a good one!

Don't know if it is all that underrated, but one I really enjoyed that you never really hear about would be the 1502 Black Gold. Great full bodied and flavored smoke.

Another one I don't hear getting enough love is the Brick House Maduros. For the price and flavor, they should have a lot more followers.

Shh, leave the Brickhouse Maduros out of this. More for us that way.

[CoachDread]

Hoyo de Monterrey Excaliburs. I think people just forget about them as time goes by. But I think they're great and I've never had a bad one.

I second the Brick House Maduros.

I also think the 5 Vegas Gold line doesn't get enough love. Yes, they're Mild-Medium, but they have good flavor, and I think everyone should have some for when they have curious or occasional smoking buddies.

Ramon Bueso Genesis Habano - was very surprised by how good this one was
JDN Red - I'd heard terrible things, but it was a solid smoke
Caldwell Gibraltar - I don't hear anyone talking about these at all, but they're a fantastic, inexpensive smoke
Crowned Heads Four Kicks - they're regular release and ain't flashy so they usually get left out of the conversation, but they're darn consistent and delicious

Torano 1916, Verdadero, Condal, pretty much any Sosa but especially the Classic. Xikar HC series often seems to get a bad rap but I think they're pretty good for the price.

[allusred]

Perhaps since most venders don't stock them, number of lines,sizes are somewhat limited,no Limited Releases every other day.
Paul Stulac cigars.

[garublador]

For how much AJ Fernandez talk that goes on I almost never hear about the San Lotano Habano. So far it's my favorite from him.

[johnnyflake]

These are all very much underrated, rarely talked about cigars!

Paul Garmirian (One of the very best cigars in the world, especially the Symphony 20 Series)
La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor Reserva Maximo
Brick House
Cuba Libre One
Punch Gran Cru
Punch Rare Corojo

[cheaphumidors]

La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor Reserva Maximo



Yes! All kinds of yes on this one!
Also, I would add Gurka Factum (don't hate me!), E.P. Carillo New Wave, and Pinolero

[droy1958]

I re-discovered the Joya de Nicaragua Antano after many years. I stumbled around like a waltzing piss ant when I stood up after smoking one. What a great powerful smoke!!!...

[Automator]

Ramon Bueso Genesis Habano. Good smoke , great construction, with a bit of a kick.

[Zeede]

Lemme add that to my "handle with caution" list :)

I may have went a little overboard with the description of the strength, but it's stronger than a garlic milkshake...

[Chigars]

Every time this topic comes up I say the same thing. Kristoff! Especially the maduros!!

[Demuths1770]

Joya RED is such a great medium stick at a awesome price point and i dont think gets the love it should. I also have to say AJs New World dosnt get the love it should as well.

[StogieNinja]

Good call. Consistent smokes across the board.

[droy1958]

I sure like them!...

[DogRockets]

Smoking a Perdomo Lot 23 maduro now. It's been a while since I've had one. Don't know why! A very underrated everyday maduro stick.

[DBragg]

Two under discussed and possibly overlooked smokes that come to mind are the Tres Reynas Corona and the EPC Short Run 2013 Robusto. Both are excellent medium body/strength sticks that burn well and dont seem to get alot of talk.

[herman]

Great responses because many I haven't had yet.
I agree the JdN Antanos pack a hefty punch. For a long time, I had a go-to if I was really craving some nicotine, but the Antanos are a worthy contestant. I'm still not clear how much vitola affects strength, but I don't care to add anymore to this one.
I think the corona is fine but a tad strong. I don't think strength = good, but these don't leave me feeling cheated in any way. They just happen to be one of the strongest cigars I have ever had.

I see a couple of these mentioned a lot for being underrated and look forward to tracking them down.
Thanks to all who replied.

[DarrelMorris]

Absolutely. Kristoff makes some nice sticks. I love the Maduro and the Gallerones Intensivo.

[TreySC]

I haven't had their new one yet but Fratello makes a good cigar that you hardly hear about

[DrBob]

lots of good budget cigars, to the list I would add La Perla Habana Black Pearl Morado's, a nice tasty Cameroon wrapped treat.

[CoachDread]

Smoking a Perdomo Lot 23 maduro now. It's been a while since I've had one. Don't know why! A very underrated everyday maduro stick.

I agree! I have only had a few of them but they've all been good enough that I keep a couple in the humi and pick up new to replace those I use.

[stonecutter2]

I think you were about spot on! First time I puffed on one, I tried to stand up and promptly sat myself right back down where I was. And realized....I better sloooow down on this one...but great smokes!
