Name a cigar that isn't well known, but is, in your opinion, of high quality

My friend gave me a Lone Wolf cigar the other day and it was a pretty decent smoke. Heck, even if it wasn't a decent smoke, Walker Texas Ranger is one of the owners, so you gotta love 'em! I don't know how well known they are, but I had never heard of them.

I am also a fan of the St. Luis Reys.

Hmmm...

I would submit the following:

Taboo Cigars - If you haven't tried them you should!
http://www.taboocigars.com

Avalon Cigars - another low key albeit new cigar, cured in green pecan, adds a distinct flavor to the mix!
http://www.avaloncigars.com/

Arganese - Another new one but quality smoke!
http://www.arganesecigars.com/

Frank Vincent Cigars - I found these recently and would have to say for a mildish cigar they are quite complex in flavor!

Ted's made by Hand - Not very well known, pricey a bit on the mellow side.

Habano Leon is a decent smoke another one I like is Colba made in Little Havana Miami. Both are Med-Full with some complexity. Get em both through Cigar King.

A couple of years ago when I was driving the big orange pumpkin (A.K.A Schnieder), I had the opportunity to stop at the JR outlets in NC. A very nice looking lady recommended the JR Cuban Alternative Monte Cristo #2, this is now a staple in my humidor. A Nicaraugan blend with a very bold taste. Great value, $28 for bundle of 20, can't go wrong. I probably jinxed myself now, these cigars occasionaly sell out. Enjoy brothers.:cool:

Purchase and smoke a Brazilian hand-rolled Alonso Menendez double corona (has a simple white band with gold lettering) and you will never again consider picketing in order to demand trading status with Cuba be re-established.

The Mayorga Hi Octane. I can usually get a box or 27 for $45 or so. They sell on CI/cbid and a few other sites, it's a coffee company that decided to put their name on a cigar. I've been buying every once and while for 5 years now.

If you can find them, Medal of Honor by JR. There were 6 or 8 different ones: 3 or 4 sizes and natural or maduro. He named each one after buddies of his in the industry who had passed on.

With a backstory like that, you know Lew wasn't going to let them suck.

Ditto on the SLR's.
Ditto the Ditto.
Picked up a 3-pack of SLR Serie G Nat Beli's a couple of weeks just because they looked great. Only had one so far, so the jury is still out, but man, I was impressed. Great smoke all around; first class construct, lots of smoke and full of flavor - not spicy, but 'rich'.
I don't see too many of these available online, but if the next two are anything like the first, I'll be picking up plenty more.

Has anyone had experience with Moore & Bode cigars of Miami? I have been smoking this boutique cigar literally daily for about 15 years. I have smoked everything can get my hands on, but I have not found anything comparable. They have two blends, Miami and Flamboyan. I have no use for the Miami (too mild), but I love the Flamboyan. Their production has been erratic over the years, so much so that every time I find a reliable retail source, they eventually drop them because of supply problems. However, I usually just call the factory (Sharon Moore-Bode, the owner, always answers the phone), and immediately ships me whatever I want, freshly rolled. I have been truly amazed over all of these years that they have not received more attention or any reviews.
