Favourite Low-Mid Price Maduro

Top of my list, depending on definition of 'cheap', would probably be RP Cuban Blend at $3/per (auctioneer price, anyway.)

Dave,

He's talking about the Original Tat El Triunfador Blend Which uses Pennsylvania Broadleaf (Grown in CT btw...) I believe the Cuba Libre One is a dark Habano, Oliva V is a Sungrown, and Nic3k is a Ecuadorian Habano if i'm not mistaken. The few Graycliff 1666's sucked when I had them so we agree on that.

The El Credito is a cheroot, but there again its a dark Habano/Sumatra wrapper, definitely not a maduro!
