Pilgrims Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 There are lots of lists this time of year and most are understandably about the "best of the best" but which cigar do you feel in consistently good and consistently under-rated or under-appreciated generally speaking...doesn't have to be about price... I don't smoke many pyramids (more a PC, CG or dahlia man) but would put forward the Sancho Panza Belicoso, just always enjoy them and think they're probably avoided/not bothered with by most people... So what would you nominate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Anything by QdO. Seriously underrated and very different from other CC;s. RyJ Short and Wide Churchills and Cazadores. The RyJ brand has taken a beating. These help bring back some respectability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Monte #3, they all look like utter crap but I've found the worse they look the better they are! The more age the better too if you like milder smokes, they turn into pure vanilla and dried fruit and milk chocolate. Quintero Panetela, milk chocolate and sweet ceder, no pretentious ideals just rich honest Cuban tobacco. They gain more sweetness with age.

CanuckSARTech Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Agreed fully on QdO as a whole being under-rated. I wouldn't say that LGC is necessarily under-rated, but is definitely a marca under-appreciated by a huge part of the consumer base. A great marca with some age on them. But also, Por Larranaga. Not under-rated within those in the know, and as a marca it's definitely been getting more exposure through some excellent recent Regional Editions and the like. But I think it's a marca that's definitely both under-rated and under-appreciated by H S.A. and the unaware and/or generic Habanos consumer. The PL Montecarlos are great value for money, and just a stellar all-around cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strada Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 RG, QdO and EDRM for myself. I love the QdO Imperiales and I have none left....these thing are awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khomeinist Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 RG, QdO and EDRM for myself. I love the QdO Imperiales and I have none left....these thing are awesome I agree with this. I smoke Imperiales too quickly to age a box properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmac77 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I have no problem with such Marca's as Quai d'Orsay's RG's, LGC's and PL's being underrated just leaves more for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khomeinist Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I guess the issue is that underrated leads to discontinued. I wish all of these marcas had more vitolas for us to choose from. Obvious point. I just wish these lines sold better so that we could see more production (ideally). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Another vote for QdO, RG, and ERDM as whole marcas. The upside is that if you buy boxes, more than likely they have a few years on them already. The downside is the threat of the axe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Add my vote for Cazadores... and throw in a RG Lonsdale if you can find one for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion21 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Exactly. I have already told my wife that the next house we buy I must have a library for work, wine and cigars. Sealed with it's own HVAC and venting . . . then I remember I have to put at least two kids thru college and research bigger wineadors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallclub Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 … under appreciated cigars . . . #2: PL Montecarlos … Partagas 898, Montecristo Petit Edmundo, Bolivar Royal Corona A/T Underrated cigars? Maybe in the "Desert SouthWest" but not in Europe… I even watched a video of J. Suckling praising the merits of the Petit Edmundo… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion21 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 My personal impression my friend. I would imagine they aren't on anyone's Top 10 list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 My personal impression my friend. I would imagine they aren't on anyone's Top 10 list. No personal opinions allowed! (anyone would think taste is subjective... ) For me, I'd say PL panetalas, RyJ cazadores and HdM epi 1s (HdM is an underrated marca IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk05 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Siglo I is super cheap?? Well I would count a box les than $150 as cheep and cheerful. No offense meant by this, don't construe this comment as any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
