Nope the pack and the band Tampa Sweet.

Parodi and DeNobili are guilty pleasures but I'm not sure you would want to marry those flavors in your humidor.

I agree with the Mr. B suggestion. I've never had one that was distasteful. They are my favorite inexpensive smoke and I would consider them for the favorite overall list.

I also like the Consuegras.

Neither is machine made (as far as I know), but both are nice cigars.

I hear the Connies are good, which is better? The reg's or the Dr's? Maybe I'll check out the Mr. B's, but I think at this point I've made up my mind to swing for the fence on my next purchase lol.

No one mentioned Villiger exports!? These are a very good quick smokes!

Those are dry-cured, no? Can you humidify a dry-cured smoke and expect it to taste good? I don't mean any sarcasm or snideness, but I've often wondered about the dry-cured's. From what I understand, the tobacco is fired in an oven and it never has to be humidified, but what would happen if you do?

Mr. B's are referred to as "made by hand." Who knows what that means? It is a reliable, if not particularly interesting smoke. Without the labels, your friends who do not smoke regularly will pronounce it a wonderful cigar.

I forgot about Consuegra. The are Villazon (Punch, ERdM, HdM, etc) Honduran seconds. A lot more flavorful than the Mr. B. Expect a couple of plugged cigars in the bundle. Or a couple that have a spongy feeling. Otherwise they taste like the premium brand. One of the local B&M's stocks #16. The #113 is a favorite, especially with a maduro wrapper. #84 is reportedly a Flor de Llaneza second.

Villiger for me. Always on hand for quick smokes. Very tasty for the $

The Garcia & Vega English Corona was an okay stick for the money. Mostly nutty flavor, with a little bit a leather here and there. Good stick if you want something you can smoke and toss when you need to.
