Bundles, Seconds and Over-Runs

[N2 GOLD]

I always keep 2-3 bundles of Rosa Cuba. My picks are the Governors & Herencia. I always get them from JR Cigars you can get both bundles rught now for $34.90 for both. Put them in the humi for some age & they do get better with time. At $0.80 & $0.95 each, you cant beat that...

I don't smoke real expensive cigars, the taste is the comfort thing for me. My high ends are Oliva V's and Masterblends. I love bundle/less expensive smokes that taste great such as Perdomo2 Mistakes in maduro, these are the original Perdomo2 at a lower price than I can buy the new Perdomo2 which I also love. Another great bundle smoke is the El Cobre, strong with a distinct yet classic Oliva flavor and the smell will keep people from bothering you. I have also found Omar Ortez Originals at Cigar Place in 20 cigar bundles. As far as seconds, love the Rocky Vintage 1992's when I can find them and any of the Rocky unlabeled seconds from Cigars International, all 4 varities are quite good. The Famous Nic 3000's are also worth keeping in stock.

I've smoked three value cigars. In descending order, Mayorga Maduro Torpedo, Nica Libre and Flor de Oliva. I've smoked three or four boxes of the Mayorga. I love them! To me they compete quite well with more expensive Nicaraguan cigars. @ ~$60.00 for a box of 20, compare to $150.00 to $200.00/box.

I dug this thread up from the cellar, and thought it was very interesting, well worth reading for those who have to buy their cigars on a budget. However, some of the cigars no longer seem to be available (Taboo Value Blend & LHO's from Holt's, for example). I have 2 questions:

1) Can you recommend a nice bundle/second/overrun medium bodied cigar with a Connecticut wrapper for me? My wife enjoys an occasional cigar and this would work for her.

2) Are there other worthy bundles/seconds/overrun cigars that have come out since 2009 when this thread began? Any new surpises that you've discovered?

OHHHH DUDE... someone needs to get you on some Ligero laced 2nd's from CI pronto...

they are basically cain 2nds... the h is the habano, D- Daytona, M- Maduro, F- F... etc.

check em out Ligero Laced 2nds

Bundles of 15, reasonably priced, perfect yard gars all the way...

I haven't had one in about 5 years, but if I remember right the Flor De Oliva Gold was a decent stick. I prefer their maduros.

Great point! I really need to save my pennies and buy multiple bundles of these. I got the chance to smoke the Liga F lancero, and the Cain F lancero side by side, one after another, and they were pretty dang close to identical.

AJ Fernandez Overruns at CI. The coronas are $2 a stick.

These wont fit the Connecticut wrapper criteria but they are a great low cost alternative to the Alec Bradley tempus. This AB second actually rated higher than the firsts a coupld of years ago.

Good bundles seem to be getting harder to find. I've been trolling the devil site far to much lately trying to satisfy my value cigar ich, with little success.
