Maduros

[snake]

Hello Fellow Bums: I need recommendations for some good maduros in the medium strength range at under $10. I enjoy chocolate and coffee flavors, but open to other flavours too. I enjoy drinking Bourbon or Cognac while smoking. Let me know your ideas.

Premium:
La Imperiosa
Tennessee Waltz
Tatuaje 7th Reserva
Liga Privada No 9 (is very much a full-bodied cigar, but you should try it. $9/ea right now at Smallbatchcigars when you use the promo code "botl")
Fuente Hemingway Signature and Short Story maduros
Padron Anniversary series maduros

Bargain:
Ramon Bueso Genesis the Project (about $2 on cbid)
Pinar Del Rio 1878, the oscuro is better, but the maduro is more medium
Padron "x000" maduros

I'd add in 601 Blue and Kristoff Maduro as well.

[droy1958]

Since I have one in my mouth right now, the Kristoff maduros are good. Also had a PDR 1878 Capa Oscura that I really enjoyed a few weeks ago. There are many good ones out there and you need to treat yourself to a Tatuaje Cojonu 2012 Broadleaf and a Fuente Anejo sometime, but it's a little over your price range. Of course, one man's treasure is another's trash....

I recently had a Bahia Gold Maduro and quite enjoyed it. Classic maduro taste and can be had on the cheap if you lurk on the Devil Site long enough...

[Bruck]

More decent cheapie maduros:
5 Vegas A and AAA
Bahia Maduro (red label)
Nica Libre

[bluenoser]

Sancho Panza Double Maduro, only had one but thoroughly enjoyed it.

[Demuths1770]

Cain By Oliva
San Lotano maduro
L'Atelier Maduro
Oliva Serie G Maduro
La Gloria Cubana Serie N

[TreySC]

Bunch of great suggestions I would add the Champagne noir and the Small Batch 2005 both by Perdomo good flavor medium strength and under $10 even at most B&M's

[Old Smokey]

They would be a tough find right now, but in November if you can find some Fuente Anejo 46's at MSRP that should work well.

[Sir Lancerolot]

I second the PDR 1878.

Also CAO Brazilia and MX2

For super-bargains try Sancho Panza Double Maduro.

Maybe it's just me (and I really am a Fuente fan), but I don't enjoy any of AF's maduro offerings. They have very little of the earthy cocoa coffee I love in a maduro.

Gran Reserva Maduros are always a winner in my book.

[dinoa2]

Fuente 8 5 8 maduros, can be found around $5 if you look
Oliva G Maduro
any of the Fuente Hemingway mauduros but they are up in price range if you can find them

[Sir Lancerolot]

Gran Reserva Maduros are always a winner in my book.

Yeah, Fuente maduros are not bad cigars, just not very maduro-y to my taste.

They maduro flavors aren't very strong IMO, I usually tend to get a lot of dried fruit for some reason. Always, great construction though.

Yes - kind of raisin-y. But as you say, very well constructed. Even Curly Heads aren't put together too badly.

+1 to a lot of suggestions on this. LGC Serie N, for sure, R if you feel you want stronger. Nica Libre, Anejo, CAO Brazilia, MX2 and VR. Kristoff, I've never had. Am curious about them, and Leaf by Oscar has me thinking, too...

[Hardheaded]

I will add another Sancho Panza Double Maduro vote. Bought some from a brother on here and have added it to my box purchase list after I smoked two. Delicious and cheap.

[Brimy]

AJ Fernandez New World
Jericho Hill
AJF Fallen Angel
La Aroma de Cuba
Jamie Garcia Reserva Especial (med-full)

[droy1958]

I need to try the Leaf. I love the packaging....

[Tobias Lutz]

Best under $10:

Camacho Triple Maduro
CAO Mx2
Kristoff Ligero-Maduro
CAO Brazilia

[allusred]

They are quite good...AND...the packaging is not just a gimmick it does keep the cigars supple and they smell great when unwrapped.

The cigars are, I think, good value for the money spent.

[Tombstone]

Illusione MJ12 maduro
Nub Madudo

[snake]

Thanks fellow Bums for the maduro recommendations. I will try them in the future and let you know the results.

[BananaWind]

Cabaiguan Guapos Maduro is right around $10. I also agree with the earlier recommendations on CAO Brazilia and the Sancho Panza Double Maduro.

Smoking a 18 month old 5 Vegas AAA and I'm getting a cocoa/coffee assault on the palate. I paid $10 for the 5er on cbid last year.
