Truly awesome cigars we rarely mention

Or talk about. There are so many cigars out there it is impossible for someone to sample every brand. I know I seem to live in a Fuente, Crowned Heads, Tatuaje, Warped kind of world. I am sure I pass over trying a bunch of great cigars because I have never heard of them and rarely see them mentioned.
One I think deserves mention is Regius. The only Vitola I have smoked is the Exclusivo USA Lancero. I love lances and have tried a bunch of them, but I think this is my favorite lance. I have heard the Claro is very good, but I have never tried one. These can be found at SmallBatch and run a little over $10 a piece. I don't smoke them often but when I do I know I'm in for a treat. Thanks to @jp1979 for turning me on to these a couple of years ago.

So, what have you smoked that you think is special and missed by most that you rarely see mentioned?

Have a question about a certain brand you have never tried but are curious about? Ask it here! I bet someone can give you their thoughts and opinion.

I've been loving the Regius Black corona Steve so I'd have to agree with you there.

The one @jp1979 turned me on to is Curivari - I've loved what I've smoked of their line.

3 NC cigars I would smoke regularly if I could purchase with free international shipping are Curivari Buenaventura 560, Perdomo lot 23 natural and the Flores y Rodriguez Cabinet Seleccion Hababano. These are great cigars at great prices which I don't see discussed or smoked regularly.. For me Cubans are no1. No question. But these 3 are pretty dam close. I'm actually rather pissed that US vendors charge international shipping fees as it makes more sense to spend my coin on Cubans which have free shipping. I only have 4 560's left 😭.

I had forgotten about Curivari. They are an excellent modestly priced smokes. Thanks Tony.

Has anyone smoked any of the Cornilius&Anthony cigars? I have looked at them online but wasn't familiar so I passed.

Owner of my local cigar bar turned me on to the Regius Exclusivo USA recently. Great cigar - a few of us agreed it was the "poor man's padron 64"

For me it is Eiroa the First 20 Years. Love this cigar and had never heard of the line until my local B&M turned me on to it. Now it is near the top of my list of all time favorite cigars.

I've had one of the Regius Black's and it was really good!

I did not see it again at the local shop I picked it up at though...

I picked it up on a whim and let it sit in the humi for a year. If I was not so lazy, I sure I could track down more. haha

I'm a 262 fan. I like everything of theirs that I've been able to get my hands on, but the Paradigm lancero is my favorite so far.

That is a really good cigar. A few others that I don't see on here a lot but I think are awesome:

La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor
Arturo Fuente Magnum R
A lot of Illusione, especially the Rothchilde
Oliva Master Blends III

Truly awesome cigars we rarely mention

Agreed on the La Duena, MB3, and the DPG Blue; still a couple of my favorites.

A few other favs of mine rarely mentioned are Jaime Garcia (Can you see a trend?) and Room101

I agree with a few above. The Illusion Roth and OSOK are very good as well as the JG special reserve. Another I love is the Lat La Mission 1959 robo. Great smoke in my opinion and priced well I think.

Paul Stulac Cigars don't get mentioned much on here. I am a huge fan of their White Blinding Light. I buy them every chance I get.

Some others that are home runs for me that don't get a whole lot of love are Espinosa/La Zona, Emilio, Ohana, CLE (Christian Luis Eiro), Balmoral, and Paul Garmirian. I'm sure there are others that I just need to think of.

I have smoked their Daddy Mac and Venganza blends. The Daddy Mac was excellent, but I did not care for the Venganza. It came across as just too harsh and the cigar completely fell apart as I smoked it. I'll probably pick up another later down the road and reevaluate it again.

I guess I haven't seen Blanco (formerly Los Blancos) cigars mentioned a lot. The Nine (of course I choose the lancero) and Premiere Selection Sumatra are excellent smokes.
