Best Under The Radar & Cheapies You Have Found?

[Bruck]

By popular demand, my current list of good cheapies:

Cabo Classic
Gurkha Park Avenue CT & Mad
Nica Libre
5 Vegas Gold Connecticut
Schizo
Bahia Red
Bahia Blue
John Bull
5 Vegas classic
Buenaventura
Bahia Trinidad
5 Vegas A
RP Cargo
Bahia Icon
Joya de Nicaragua Fuerte
Bahia Gold White Label
Flor de Oliva
Fonseca Arana
La Aurora Legend
General Grant
RP Catch 22
Sancho Panza Triple Anejo
Hog's Head Torano
Diesel Uncut

My definition of "cheapie" is one that can be bought regularly under $3 a stick online, in quantity if necessary. My definition of "good," of course, is subjective

And of course this list wouldn't be complete without my list of bad or "eeh" cheapies, which of course is equally subjective:

everything in po' boy sampler
almost everything in bender ender
GVH02 - now that they're short filler
La Perla Havana Black Pearl
Fuente Curly Head
Blue Label B2
Perdomo Lot 23
601
Obsidian
Arganese
Gurkha Park Avenue Habano
5 Vegas Gold Maduro
Brick House Fumas
Graycliff G2

YMMV!

Really not even the 601 Blue Maduro? Again taste is subjective, as someone who worked as a Head Chef in the mid 90's I get that, but really not even the Blues?

There's a bit of bias in my "bad/eeh" list - if I have one and don't like it, for whatever reason - what I ate, how much sleep I got, time of the month, it goes on that list and I usually don't have another one (once whatever I ordered is depleted). But if you're endorsing the 601 maduro, I'll have to pick some up with my next CBid order and give them another chance.

Keep in mind my newbness, but I really like them. They are good ROTT and even better with as little as a month rest YMMV. I tried a 5'er of the 601 Steel recently, and the first 2 were OK, but the last 3 just didn't go so well. Consistency all over the board, some draw like a straw others like a brick. Also they were very temperamental taste wise, harsh & bitter kept crashing in no matter how I smoked it.
