Cigars You Take For Granted
 
I fired up a Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro Robusto today. I always have a few of these on hand and kind of take them for granted, but they're always tasty, always well constructed, and never disappoint. So, what cigars do you take for granted? In other words, smokes that you always have a few on hand, are consistently good, but don't get the attention that you give to your "sexier" cigars?

Curivari anything. They're finally starting to get the press they deserve. Only one line in their entire portfolio I dislike.

Not cigars that don't get attention in the press, I'm asking about cigars that you see in your stash and go "meh" and grab something flashier. But that "meh" cigar is a good one that you always enjoy when you do finally smoke one.

AF 8-5-8 is another one for me.

Of course I agree with the 601 Blues...smoked a TON of them and never had a bad one.

Another one that flies way under the radar is the El Rey Del Mundo Oscuro. :dr :dr

Gran Habano #5 Corojo
G.A.R.

I don't reach for a corojo first nearly as often as I used to, but these two are always on hand and always satisfy.

Good thread.

Torano Exodus 1959 Gold fits the bill you describe. I'm always pulling around them in the cooler, but whenever I decide to fire one up, I'm reminded I should notice that beauty more often.

Good calls on the GH Corojo #5 and the Exodus 1959 Gold.

Oliva Maduro anything. Or Oliva V anything. They're always excellent and I never get around to them.

Black Crown robustos. Also PDR Oscuros. No flash, but they do the trick every time.

JLP Brevas. Very consistent, and I overlook them often.

Never had the G.A.R.
I do however appreciate the #5, great every day smoke for me.

La Aurora 107, RyJ Bully, Perdomo Lot 23. The 107's are my go to smokes, the others are always in one of my humidors, and I regularly enjoy all of them, while "special occasion" cigar these are not, I certainly like them.

I agree with the Perdomo Lot 23 and 601 Blues, always excellent cigars. I also find that my Fuente Hemingway Short Stories fall into this category. I tend to overlook them in the humi because I have had so many of them, but they are always a treat to smoke.

I agree with the "A" and "AAA" dark beauties that get overlooked in my humi. But everytime I smoke one I enjoy it!!
