OK, I know most of you don't particularly like Don Juans, but last night I smoked a Criollo '98 and was quit impressed. It actually had a little attitude (notes of pepper)....not as subtle as the line normally is. I got a box of toros for $25.00 and they are WELL worth the $1 / stick price. Performed well also: slow even burn, thick ash, fairly well constructed. I smoked a Perdomo Reserve #3 Maduro afterwards that was better, but it also cost quit a bit more.
Indian Tabac Limited Reserve Buffalo = damn fine smoke! 10 pack for $11.00......again, well worth the $1.10 / stick. Fiesty little ****, so eat before you smoke one.
