I actually like the Trinidad Y Cia Toros.  Mixed filler, a little on the mild side, but a good daily cigar.

The only brand I've tried in that whole list is the La Finca. Cordell sent me a La Finca corona several months ago and it was a pretty decent stick. As far as the others go I have no idea. Give them a try. You might like some of them.

I used to buy the Trinidad Y Cias from JR quite often.  A mixed fill cigar with great flavor at an insanely cheap price.

The Mayorga has a coffee flavor to it and is box pressed, if recall correctly

Maria Mancini's were Robert DeNiro's house cigar for a while, so I heard...



They were ok I guess!

I've got a box of Mayorga Churchills that I bought from JR a while back that I've had a couple out of.  I don't know about the other sizes, but my churchills are not box pressed, but you're right about the coffee flavors in there.  A good, decently priced Nicaraguan smoke.

Wow.  Just when you think you've had a cigar or two in your day, someone posts a list of cigars you've never had and some you've never even heard of.  Can't help you out, but tying new sticks is most of the fun in this hobby.  Good luck

I've had a smaller sized Rosa Cuba, not too bad for a cheap cigar.  The Consuegra I've had lots of, very nice and a great price.  The Mayorga, tastes OK but is like balsa wood for lightness or heft, it'll float away on you into the atmosphere if you're not careful.  And a super light draw as well, get a sewing needle to poke it before smoking.
