I've had all of them except the black label (La Aurora). The orange (Patel) and the yellow (Pepin) are the only decent sticks. The green (Reyes) isn't horrible for a mild smoke. However, I would not pay $5/piece for any of them. If you can find a deal where you're only paying $2-$3/piece it might be worth it. You can do far better for $5...
I got a 5er of the Red label (Perdomo?) and have really enjoyed them.
Sorry - I thought I was being clear - but I can see where it would be confusing... Yes - I was talking about the 2000, 3000, etc. line.
Those are my absolute favorite sub-$5 smoke. I'd take them over a whole lot of $10-20 cigars.
The RP Rosado Toros are very nice - although I'm not sure why you had draw issues. That's not really typical of RP stuff - but every so often one or two will slip through. And I just HATE it when it happens. I've personally had WAY more trouble with draw issues on ISOM's than I've had with NC's. I don't care what you do to fix it - the cigar just does not smoke right. I've given up - I just toss the smoke and grab another...

On occasion (and it can happen to some of the best) I'll have one that's just a little tight and am able to "fix" it by gently rolling it at the tight spot. This one I thought was at the head so I clipped about 2" off and still nothing. For me a hard draw just ruins everything. It even changes what I taste. I have no tolorance for a hard draw.
I completely agree with you guys. So far my favorite Sub-$5 cigar has been the Oliva Serie G. The construction is perfect and i have never had one with a hard draw. I just bought a few Sol Cubano Maduros made by Oliva, so I will have to post a review and compare them.
