Hmmm....there may have been some fermenting going on, but I don't think I would have called Nic3K, Oliva V or Tat El T maduros. Cuba Libre One either, but it is a little bit dark, I suppose. Not familiar with stubbies or El Credito. (One man's useless opinion here, but I thought the 1666's were particularly sucky.)
Top of my list, depending on definition of 'cheap', would probably be RP Cuban Blend at $3/per (auctioneer price, anyway.)

Dave,
He's talking about the Original Tat El Triunfador Blend Which uses Pennsylvania Broadleaf (Grown in CT btw...) I believe the Cuba Libre One is a dark Habano, Oliva V is a Sungrown, and Nic3k is a Ecuadorian Habano if i'm not mistaken. The few Graycliff 1666's sucked when I had them so we agree on that.
The El Credito is a cheroot, but there again its a dark Habano/Sumatra wrapper, definitely not a maduro!
:-)

That's true I kinda got side tracked and forgot about the wrapper on some of these. I do however like the 1666, super choclatey, at least the 2-3 I have tried. The Stubbies deffinitley are, or at least advertised as maduro. I have a bad habbit of lumping everything semi-dark as a maddie, sorry about that.

I love the LDF Colorado Oscuro. At $5.50 it's a heck of a good smoke. I don't think Oscuro is the same as maduro though, is it? Either way, it's dark and delicious.

And I will add support for the Flor de Oliva Maduro. It may be luck of the draw but the two that I've had have been pretty good.

My boss just gave me one of these. We did some work at the Altadis facility and they gave these out.

Gispert Maduro in the robusto. $4-7 depending whether online or at a B&M. Very consistent with a very nice flavor.

For the really-cheap-smoke category, I'd recommend:
Arganese Maduro - On Cigars Int'l at $30/20 Robustos or $32.50/20 Toros
Famous Nicaraguan 5000 - On Famous Smoke at $40/20 Toros
