Another vote for the RyJ Habana Reserve.

You may also want to consider the Da Vinci Masterpiece. I haven't tried them myself, but have heard they were decent. Even if they don't float your boat, they are cheap and offer a nice presentation making it a good giveaway cigar. They are on the s-chip sale list for $2.50 or less a stick.

I'm really impressed with the Montecristo Reserva Negra, the new maduro. A little pricey though. Omar is a fine smoke as well, and a little easier on the wallet.

Not much support for the H Upmann Vintage Cameroons. I love them.

Least bad Altadis.

I think that's kind of like asking where's the best place is to get a boil.

Okay - an honest question deserves an honest answer. Here's my best shot. Once I received a free Altadis Montecristo White Torpedo. I think it was a sample. It wasn't bad in the sense it had some decent flavor and the construction was pretty good. While I won't judge any cigar based on a sample of one, and I wouldn't run out and buy more considering their price point, I'd probably smoke another if it were given to me.



Now should the embargo end, ask me again about Altadis.

Thanks for all the good suggestions on this, I sat down and read the fine print a little better. Apparently, it's not just Altadis I'm restricted to - it's only the following four brands
Romeo Y Julieta
H. Upmann
Trinidad
Montecristo

Since Trinidad and H. Upmann just released new cigars, I might go with one of them.

Those aren't bad. Romeo y Julieta Aniversario and Reserva Real are pretty good, and you could do worse than Trinidads. The H. Upmann Reserve Maduro and Vintage Cameroon are pretty nice. Montecristo has yet to make a good cigar though.

Backwoods sweet aromatics.
They smell like cocoa puffs.
Delicious.
