    That's a tough one. I know most cigars get the attention it deserves. It's also a tough subject since some cigars have changed profile over the years. I used to love the Padilla 1932 until they discontinued it. It really hasn't been the same smoke since they discontinued it. I still have boxes of them from 4 years ago and they still stand the test of time.

    Some cigars I've personally liked over the years and recently haven't been mentioned recently are: Camacho Diploma, E.P. Carrillo Club 52, Los Blancos Nine, Illusione cg:4, Diamond Crown Maximus #4, La Aurora Preferidos No.2 Maduro, Carlos Torano Exodus, Joya de Nicaragua Antano. I wouldn't be afraid to pick any of them up from my humidor when I want a solid cigar.

    Pretty much all of those Padillas were outstanding with the exception of the hybrid.

    Still have a box left of the Dominus (4 years old)---have this grassy herbaceous flavor to them now.
    I have a couple 2010 Capa Habano sticks left--smokin' like gems.

    One Perdomo Cabinet Series (had red label--don't remember the letter) were unexpectedly good after a few years.

    Although they didn't take four years to mature--only one LOL, San Miguel cigars were pretty meh ROTT. Fast forward one year, they were really, really, really good. I believe they were discontinued. Had I known, I would have gotten 3-4 bundles.

    Hate when that happens.

    Those Dominus were soooo good! I wish I had stocked up on them too. Very similar to 1932, but it had a grassy notes like you mentioned. I think I still have a stick left. It's gonna be a sad day when it's gone!

    Let's not forget the Gran Habano Vintage 2002 from couple years ago. They were great budget smokes after a year or so!

    On the other side of the spectrum, I found the Vegas Miami to be pretty bland after a year. I'm not sure what people were raving about. They probably changed profile as well.
