    I second the PDR 1878.

    Also CAO Brazilia and MX2

    For super-bargains try Sancho Panza Double Maduro.

    Maybe it's just me (and I really am a Fuente fan), but I don't enjoy any of AF's maduro offerings. They have very little of the earthy cocoa coffee I love in a maduro.

    Gran Reserva Maduros are always a winner in my book.

    Yeah, Fuente maduros are not bad cigars, just not very maduro-y to my taste.

    They maduro flavors aren't very strong IMO, I usually tend to get a lot of dried fruit for some reason. Always, great construction though.

    Yes - kind of raisin-y. But as you say, very well constructed. Even Curly Heads aren't put together too badly.

    +1 to a lot of suggestions on this. LGC Serie N, for sure, R if you feel you want stronger. Nica Libre, Anejo, CAO Brazilia, MX2 and VR. Kristoff, I've never had. Am curious about them, and Leaf by Oscar has me thinking, too...

    I need to try the Leaf. I love the packaging....
    Like my father before me, I will work the land,
    And like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand.

    They are quite good...AND...the packaging is not just a gimmick it does keep the cigars supple and they smell great when unwrapped.

    The cigars are, I think, good value for the money spent.
