I usually have some Nestor (Maroon) buried in a time capsule - they're pretty good after 9-12 months nap. Folks who like Perdomo maduros usually have good things to say about the Reds. Purple (Graycliff) and Yello (Pepin) aren't too shabby. My girlfriend is a big fan of the (Drew-infused) Copper. I tend to steer clear of the white, blue, green and orange labels - but there are those that seem to like each.
As to the boutiques, in the purest sense of the word, I strongly second the LLanos dos Palma recommendation.

Agreed, the Yellow are not bad! The Copper are infused, I stay clear of them but they did get me into cigars.
