House Brand Vs. Name Brand
I am very new to this forum. From my user name, you can maybe guess that I am from Salt Lake City and am an life-long Oakland Raiders fan. I picked up on cigar smoking a few years back and have been ever increasingly more obsessed over time. I enjoy fine bourbon, fly-fishing, music and collecting several items. I also hold Clint Eastwood in high regard; hence my Avitar.
Here is my question: I have purchased several name brand (low, mid and high end) cigars and know what I like. Depending on mood, setting and occasion, I enjoy a full range of flavors from mild to strong, sweet to woody etc. I have never tried catalog/house brands though. Can you share any experiences with these brands (i.e. Thompson, Famous Smokes, Corona). What is good and what can be compared to more expensive brand label cigars?
