Graycliff 1666 (Can find cheap on Cbid)
El Credito
Tatuaje El Truinfador (I have found cheap on Cbid on occasion)

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.
