StocktonJohn sent me a La Tribu from Atlantic Cigars in my newbie trade. It was very good-- and when I looked it up online, I found a string of stellar reviews, like, "inexpensive house blends aren't supposed to be good, but this was a real surprise." I recently ordered a bundle of 20 to share with friends.
House blends?

From what Joe at Cigar King told me their Pepin blended house brands have a few years of age on them. The Hirsh y Garcia, Nacionales W, Havana Soul, and Havana Leon have probably been sitting there since sometime between '05 and '07. I would be giving those a try. Although they do keep their humidor warehouse a little on the wet side and this time of year the heat is still on in Arizona. I'd let the sticks chill in the humidor for at least three weeks so they can acclimate.
