I recently bought two samplers from Thompsons (bad timing-I bought them right before I started reading here steadily) and both of them have crappy maduros in them (smoking one right now, as a matter of fact).
I used to really enjoy a maduro, but have sort of soured on them.
What would be a couple of "beginner" maduros to sort of ease back into the experience?

Thanks,

I think it's dangerous to stereotype an entire class of wrappers based on poor storage, crappy sticks, and, of all things, Thompson. Hope you can come back from it.

Aside from what's been mentioned already, in my limited experience I've enjoyed: Perdomo 10th Anniversary Maduro is good and has a very easy draw, Hoyo de Monterrey Double Maduro Rothschilds are creamy and relatively inexpensive, and I always have Partagas Black Label cigars on hand.
