If you like the 2002's, don't try the Number 5.

I like it a lot better, but it'll set you back an extra buck plus per stick.

I just got a 5er of the PDR Oscuro for $9 on cbid. The first one was not so hot, so I'm hoping a little age will help.

I also got a 5er of the EPC Core Short Run 2013. Forget how much exactly -- it was more than the PDR but not by much. Anyway, it was delicious, and as far as I could tell every bit as good as some sticks that go for $5/$6 per.

I'll try to look out for those EPC cores. As halel mentioned, the sun grown pdr is good and I also like the one with the black and silver band. Selecion especial I think

I picked up a sample pack of PDRs and loved them for the price/value.

Bahia Icons weren't bad. Leathery, some tasty pepper and a little kick.

I also picked up a bundle of Arganese and while I can't EVER see them as having been a premium brand as the packaging said online, I can see them as being decent. Nothing to write home about.

I'm smoking a lot of Alec Bradley Tempus 2nds. THey're just as good as the 1sts but MUCH cheaper.

My cheapies are the Onyx Reserve, Final Blend(saw a box of toros go for under $30 today) and PdR 2010 Seleccion. Also, Gavin threw in a couple J Fuego Origen Original Naturals in a bomb once. These are an excellent $2-3 gar. Not the prettiest, (hand rolled no cigar mold) but damn they are tasty.
And in case no one said it yet, Illusione Rothschild and Tat PCRs.

Where did you get the tempus 2nd's? I've had the 90+ rated 2nds and they are good with a few months in the humi

I'll 2nd the ML3s. They're really good after a couple of years of down time. Harder to find now than a few years ago.

Most of the diesel line, can't go wrong with a crucible for $4
Just had the unholy cocktail Corona today. Very tasty. Full body But very tasty. CI had tin for like $60 for 30 sticks.

Also the AF Fernandez over runs are good with a few months age. Good deal. I would definitely consider buying a bundle
