Question Favourite Low-Mid Price Maduro

Hey everyone,

As I have gotten back into smoking and started adding to my little stash I have not gotten many maduro-wrapped cigars.

I smoked a Maroma Maduro (cheapie) and surprispingly enjoyed its mild, slightly chocolatey, dark earthy flavour. It was too wet, but still pretty enjoyable.

I am wondering what your favourite low-mid priced maduro cigars are - both mild-medium and full-bodied cigars. I know some will mention the Sancho Panza Maddies, which I haven't had for years (are the new ones still smoking well?), but what else is out there? I'd like to add a few to my humi.

T

Well since our resident maduro whore Mac is sleeping, I'll step in. I love 601 Blues and they can be had for around $4-5 per stick. Cigarmonster has fivers of them all the time for 17.98 shipped. DPG JJ maduro's can be had for around $6-7 apiece.They are very tasty also.

Oh yeah, and Diesel Unholy Cocktails are great budget smokes. They can be had for around 15 a fiver or $99 for a box of 30.Padron 2000 & 3000 maduro's are also great smokes and can be had pretty cheap if you keep your eye out for them.

Hello everyone, I'm a first timer here. Though I generally prefer oscuro cigars to maduro if I'm looking for a dark smoke (and have the time to sit down for a while), Casa de Garcia does make a nice value maduro, especially if you give them a bit of time to get juicy. I have a few that I'm giving away on my review blog, cigarsoup.com. Check the link for details and photos:

http://www.cigarsoup.com/2012/04/giv...churchill.html

I'll have a review published for that cigar soon. Be sure to check out the other reviews available as well. Thanks, and nice to meet you all!

The Padron "Thousand" Series maduros are very good and well priced.

Hmmm....there may have been some fermenting going on, but I don't think I would have called Nic3K, Oliva V or Tat El T maduros. Cuba Libre One either, but it is a little bit dark, I suppose. Not familiar with stubbies or El Credito. (One man's useless opinion here, but I thought the 1666's were particularly sucky.)

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!

That's true I kinda got side tracked and forgot about the wrapper on some of these. I do however like the 1666, super choclatey, at least the 2-3 I have tried. The Stubbies deffinitley are, or at least advertised as maduro. I have a bad habbit of lumping everything semi-dark as a maddie, sorry about that.

I'm probably in the minority, but I like the most of the Drew Natural line as well as the Baccarat Maduro.

Thank you all for the suggestions, that's more than I expected

I'll have to fish around for a few of these.

Anyone tried the Flor de Oliva maduros?

I realized that I have a few 601 Blues, I'll have to smoke one of them after it sits a bit.

Yes, Flor De Oliva Maduro is a great low cost cigar. Smoke one you won't be sorry.

Friday I went to a cigar shop, and I guy was praising the store owner for selling him an Omar Ortez Maduro Torpedo.

I kind of laughed to myself because (uknowingly) i'd smoked the "Natural" at the same shop, and to me there was nothing special about it. Well let me tell you what... I grabbed the maduro yesterday, and it blew me away, there were rich dark chocolate flavors, cedar, and rich tobacco! It had a great black pepper spice, and even a slight bit of creme! I couldn't believe I was smoking a $5.00 stick! I still can't believe it! The only cigar that I smoked yesterday that was better was the Illusions MK Ultra!
