When I see the word "sleeper" I think of cheaper cigars that are a pleasant surprise after resting...

La Perla Habana Black
Nica Libre
Sancho Panza Double Maduro
EP Carillo

I forgot about the Double Maduro!

Tman, is that the old style Diploma or the rebranded ones?

Old one. I hate the new style. Looks so tacky!

So, seeing Don's MB III thread got me thinking, we don't have a thread about sleeper cigars. The MB III is one, I also find the Saint Luis Rey Maduro rothchild with 2+ years to be a pretty damn good cigar. Fresh, it's meh. Aroma De Cuba Mi Amors are really good to start, I had a couple 4 year old ones last year and they blew me away. I bought a box to store that night. What are some of your favorite sleepers?

I'd say El Centurion, people always forget about this cigar.

Still one of my favorites. It should get more attention. On the other hand, local B&M discontinued carrying them and I got what was left for $5 a stick.

The El Centurion is probably one of the best cigars released by My Father/Garcia family. I have at least a box at all times in the humidor. Fantastic cigar!

I've found certain cigars smoke best after being rested over a year. A perfect example, found by accident, is the Cain Ligero. A box was gifted to me several years ago. I tried a few and they were too harsh for me. So, I just left them in my "spare" humidor (which is fairly large) for a long - long - time. At least a year passed and I decided to try one again. Oddly, it smoked amazing. Now, this cigar is in the smoking rotation on a yearly cycle. My family smokes a great deal so we now have a box of these cigars resting untouched at all times.

With this realization a few years ago my family began resting certain cigars we thought had potential. We'd simply place them in our spare humidor and the just rested for month and month (years and years). Many cigars, especially moderately priced cigars, seem to smoke great with this process. To me are there are many sleeper cigars that can be found like this.

Nica Libre.

I have a box of principe that have been resting about a year, and the previous box that rested a year was really impressive for the price.

On that note, I haven't seen the principe size available, anyone know if they're still available?

The Alec Bradley Maxx Brasil are a sleeper with a year on them and can be had for next to nothing on CBid. You're all welcome... lol
