Flor Del Todo is a cheap "go to gar". It is reliable, tastes decent and burns consistantly well. It is made by the same gentleman who produces Puros Indios; R. Reyes. It's a good smoke for the buck. I think the last bundle I purchased through auction was $16.00. You cannot go wrong with that price.
~Footnote: When comparing this to a Padron 3000; head to head, you will come up short. You cannot compare a CAO or a Padron etc. with this class of cigar. These cigars are generally everyday smokes or one's that you smoke while cutting the grass etc. For that, they are one of the better one's.

I smoked an AVO classic #2 cutting my grass last saturday...

I will echo chipslave: life is too short to smoke cheap cigars.

Mac,
Not that I disagree with your logic; I do not sir! However, realistically, I cannot afford to smoke Avo or CAO, or Oliva's one right after the other. If you are in the position, Sir, please I beg of thee, bequeath to thy brother in arms, a dozen or so of thy finest tobacco's in order to quell my deepest needs and desires.

Sir Scott of Margate 😉

LOL@Scott,
In that price range, the Perdomo Mistakes, are better bang for the buck, as are the perdomo overruns.

Homey,
Seriously, do you not see the diff between $16.00 and $55.00? The bidding presently is at $37.00 for the Perdomo's.

They are real tasty and chewy not sweet at all but i really likem and smokem whe im in between high end gars or dont have allotta time. Id say they are better than the average yard gar as they are simply mixed filler Puros Indios.I never paid more than 13 bucks a bundle. I meam i like lots a cigars and i would call theses middle of the roaders and well worth the money.

I haven't tried the Flor del Todo yet. But Rolando Reyes Sr. puts out some of the best bang for the buck cigars in the industry IMHO. I've got a lot of different cigars in my collection, from cheap to fairly expensive (above $10 a stick) & sometimes the cheaper ones are just as satisfying as the expensive ones. It sure doesn't hurt as much to ditch a cheap one if it tastes bad. I get a little "tweaked" if I have to flip a Monte or a TTT.
I just try to make informed decisions before I purchase a cigar.

To add a bit to that. There are a lot of crappy cheap cigars on the market, so research them a bit (like you were trying to do here) & find out who makes them, what other people think of them, etc.
In the end, what really matters is "did you like them." If you did, you got your money's worth.

Flor de Todo, if I'm not mistaken, is made by the same guys that make PI's. Not a bad cigar.

MACS(SW), that must be a very .... nice experience, but for me, if I'm not kicked back, relaxed and enjoying a cigar, I don't smoke at all.

i enjoy a big $ cigar as much as anyone, but lots of folks just can't afford them, myself included.

that said, there are some mighty fine cigars that don't cost a lot of $. i love PI's, and if this is just a sandwich version of the PI, i'm sure i'd love it.

some of the tastiest cigars i've had are mi cubana, synergy, dictador, LVH, churchill deluxe (mixed filler put out by el carribe, which makes camacho), w&d (don tomas seconds) and connecticut yankee. all good, inexpensive smokes.
