For non-Cuban, I really like the Upmann Cameroon cigars.

From JRs, their Ultimates are a great bargain, with too many choices to enumerate. As for bundles rather than the specified "boxes", their Consuegra seconds are hard to beat. NB, I much prefer the Honduran Connies over the Dominican ones.

were, as bundles often 'change' over time (tobacco, maker). If
they're as good as they were, I'm ready to buy a couple more.

I have smoked some from 2008, 2010 and just bought a few bundles at the end of 2012 (of which I smoked one)...all have been consistently good. I let them sit for 18-24 months before I smoke them. :dr :dr

CC RyJ Mille Fleurs

NC AF Short Story

The RyJs can be had for less than 90. The Short Stories may not be a "value" but, on the whole, I would rather smoke one really good cigar every few days than several mediocre ones every day. For me, it's all about quality.

I do believe these are actually seconds of the Zino line, if I am not mistaken.

PDR Oscuros in the value section.

Possibly Oliva Vs or Tat Black PCLs in the $5-7 range

I think this is their everyday price too... Tho last time I bought some from Holts, I had a funny result, I bought two 6 packs, and the bands were different colors between the two 6 packs, one was more vibrant like the MB3's you see at a B&M but the others are completely off, kinda faded like. Funnily, they taste a little different too, makes me wonder if Holt's knowingly/unknowningly supplies knock offs.

They both tasted good tho, so I can't complain too much lol.

I still have a few of both so if anyone needs pics I can supply lol.

That would be great, if you don't mind.
