Anytime you see “Factory_______” not something I’m going to buy thinking I’ve found a hidden gem. If you’re lucky maybe a decent yard gar.

I've tried a lot of "yard gars" cigars around $2 and not only are Factory Smokes the cheapest at about $1.50 ea. when u buy a bundle of 25, they taste the best. My favorite is the conn. the maduro is good but I found its better after some time cause it has a lot of bite ROTT. Since I don't have the room or the will to age yard gars I only buy the Connie's now. As for cigar descriptions, they're all snow jobs.

Try the HC’s maybe. I think they are a step up from the Factory Smokes, but not too expensive. Great cigar to have in the Humidor for yard work, walking the dog, etc

I want to know where to get the same HC The Katman got
kohnhed.com/2014/06/16/xikar-hc-series-habano%C2%B2-cigar-review/
Does a 10 year old review have any usefulness relative to today's line up?

The ichiban ^ stick with the habano. I didn’t like the maduro. Recently read something here about cheap maduro being not so good. I tend to agree.

I’d try the partagas before the Gurkha I didn’t really like any of the non Cuban partagas stuff I’ve tried though. If you’re bidding on here I typically buy aj Fernandez stuff. They’re a little strong sometimes but they can be pretty good cigars

I’m learning that I like the AJ Fernandez cigars, I’ve been sampling a lot of his blends.
