With the house purchase now just 2 weeks away it'll soon be time to start buying some stock again. My usual tactic is to hit all of the cheap discounts and clearance items from cigar place which has me stocked on cheap yard 'gars then tack on one or 2 singles I see you bums talking about in mid range sticks but I'm looking to get some better stock to keep on hand. I haven't had a lot of experience with what some would call mid range sticks and would love to start stocking some.

What are some of the staples your humi is never without? What do you keep stocked for yard 'gars?

For cheapies I'm currently heavy on flor de oliva and schizo. For mids I have a ton of MUWAT (pun intended ), undercrown, and various Perdomo sticks.

In the $5-8 range I've become a huge fan of Oliva Vs as a midrange cigar and I've stocked up a few boxes of them. Several from Pepin too, including Le Bijou, FldA, and My Father. I've got bunches of all of those.

For cheapies, I know I've been pimping Chillin' Moose big time lately. The coronas are under $2 and I've been smoking bunches of them. I'll definitely buy another box when I get close to finishing my current one. I'd easily pay double the asking price for these. I've given a few to friends and they have all enjoyed them.

chillin moose and quesada tributo's are the 2 "Cheepies" I'm heavy on right now. Really enjoy them both. Chillin moose is the first box purchase I've made, was dinged pretty hard with duties on it but still worth it.

In terms of NCs:

Yard cigars:
Gran Habano Vintage 2002 $1.50-$2 on CBID freefall
Sancho Panza Double Maduros (Famous has boxes around $75 with patience)

Non yard cigars under $8:
Illusione Rothchildes (you can find a cab of 50 for about $160 if you are patient)
Arturo Fuente Churchill Maduros or 858s
Oliva Master Blends III (Holts has 6 packs of the robusto size for about $30 IIRC)
Padron x000 series maduros (I'm partial to the 2000 and churchills) famous usually has good prices and they can be had in the 5 pack Frenzy usually)
La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor (Maximo I think is the name of the size I like, again famous has good prices and can be found in the 5 pack Frenzy usually)

EDIT: 601 Blue. Kris reminded me of them! CBID freefall for them as well.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some winners.

I have progressively become a CC & Tat whore and have actually not bought anything else over the past year. But due to recent budget restraints I have been dipping into the lower region of my stockpile and have realized I need to restock on 601's (la bomba, green oscuro & blues) and pueblo dominicanos which I unfortunately can't seem too find anymore. I have also lit up a few Oliva's lately which were all very good. I am quite fond of the DPC 1950 as well

DPG Original (Blue Label)
DPG JJ.
Tatuaje Havana VI (Red label) or the Tattoo.
Just about any Oliva; I like the G with a Cameroon wrapper or the V for a few dollars more.
Fuente Chateaus
601 Maduro (Blue)

a few that come to mind
I am sure there are several others

For yard gars/deer camp sticks I like Pinar Del Rio Oscuro and Habano Sungrown. They are very good at their price point IMO.

Stepping up a notch, Padron X000 and Undercrowns always have a place in my rotation.

I like variety, so I have a LOT of staples.

Yard gars include: PDR 1878, Ramon Bueso Genesis Habano, and a lot of cuban JLPs.
Low-end (under $5) staples would include Crowned Heads Four Kicks, RoMA BA and EC blends, Caldwell Gibraltar (old blend), Nica Rustica, Quintero Favoritos, Boli CJ, Monte 4, HUHC, RASCC, and a few others
Mid range ($5-10ish) would be : Warped La Hacienda, Caldwell LLTK, Quesada Espana, Crowned Heads LC2015, La Imperiosa, Tenessee Waltz... the list here is almost endless and would include a ton of regular release CCs as well.
