LFD in general is a good NC choice.

[Lamboinee]

Aladino Honduran corojo is very tasty. They are in my regular rotation. Highly recommend.

[free85]

Couldn't resist.

Almost anything from Gran Habano is like opening your mouth and letting a dog excrete in it.

Overall it's a nice list but most of them do not outcompete Jose L. Piedra bundles.

[Li Bai]

So that Oliva Serie G petit perfecto was rated 91.

I can't speak for the rest of the list but I've had some of these and seriously, CA and Halfwheel should respect their readers more, they're not even pretending to at this point.

Aladino is a criminal level of value. Charter Oak is also a very good Connecticut at a crazy good price.

This goes back to the conversation of the relationship between price and perceived enjoyment/quality.

[VeguerosMAN]

Oliva is seriously undervalue cigars. I think Serie V and O can hang with Padron 64s.

I've had most of these. The charter oak is the best of the bunch (for me) the others ended up on the "will not buy again list."

[HoyoFan]

Aladino has quickly become one of my favorite NC's. I'd go for the maduro or the vintage to try.

Caldwell is another incredible under the radar smoke. Specifically The King is Dead. I'm a big fan of the Premiere size.

Charter Oak is solid, I'd say 89ish points.

LFD I'd be careful of in terms of the nicotine hit.
