I agree a lot with what @Tombstone said.

601- the whole line is worth checking out. I'm new to them, but I've really enjoyed the Habano and Snakebite. They were initially famous for their La Bomba, which is a ligero bomb.

Alec Bradley - I like a lot of the blends that Alec Bradley comes up with, but IMO, their quality control is pretty bad. Lots of poor burns. But if the price is right on CBid, I still enjoy the Tempus series, Prensado, Prensado Lost Art, and Sanctum. Their shining star to me is the Coyol, specifically in the Petite Lancero. It's probably in my top 5--but only that vitola.

Caldwell - I know they have their fans, but I haven't smoked anything by Caldwell that justified their price. Although, his collaboration with AJ Fernandez and Matt Booth is amazing. It's called The T.

Cohiba - pass

Diamond Crown - again, over priced. But they are good. Sometimes I can get a single of the Caesar for around $10 on CBid and it's totally worth it. But retail for those is ridiculous.

EP Carrillo - not a lot of experience.

Espinosa - Just try everything. It's all good. My personal faves are the Laranja, Mercialago, Habano and the Especial.

Kristoff - I'm not a fan of Dominican tobacco.

La Palina - I once bought a 5er of the Black Label and after trying a couple, they were so bad that I never tried another La Palina again. They tasted like burnt dog s---. But I see other blends smoked on the forum quite often.

Lars Tetens - no experience.

Partagas - nope.

Perdomo - I have recently started wading into the waters of Perdomo because they seem to always be at a good price on CBid. So far, I haven't been let down. I've liked the Small Batch Sun Grown and the 20th Anniversary Series.
