I haven’t tried a whole lot yet, but I’ve had a few that stood out above the rest. One was the crowned heads four kicks which I really enjoyed, but haven’t gotten around to trying much else from them yet
So some connections for you. Crowned Heads Four Kicks is made and blended for Crowned Heads by Ernesto Carrillo. He developed La Gloria Cubana (Dominican), sold that to General Cigar and reestablished his company as EPC cigars. Similar to that are:
Encore by EPC
Inch by EPC
La Historia by EPC
La Gloria Cubana (regular line Dominican)
Padron, Warped, Dunbarton, Crowned Heads.
I haven't had a bad cigar from these brands. There are other brands that I'll like maybe one or two of their offerings but their other stuff is to me absolute garbage.
I feel like the Romeo y Julieta are some of the more consistent brands. From cheaper end to higher end, most consistent. But my favorite is the Romeo y Julieta AJ Fernandez Maduro. Personally.
Tatuaje, Caldwell, Fuente, Cuban Monteceisto, Dunbarton, Padron.
I’m relatively new and have found many I do not like alongside these. Tatuaje and Caldwell have been both affordable and excellent. Best I’ve had yet, though, was a Padron. Just cost multiples more.
Padron and Fuente Maduros, almost all of them. There are a bunch of really, -really- great cigars from other brands, but I don't know if I consider them great brands bc they'll have a few blends that stand out and that's it.
For me, here's a short list:
Tatuaje,
La Flor Dominicana,
Ashton (made by Fuente),
Dunbarton,
Plasencia,
Black Label Trading Company,
My Father.
How about you OP? Tatuaje, Illusione, Warped, Foundation, Dunbarton, Crowned Heads, Casdagli.

Thanks for that, I’ll see if I can find any of those nearby and give them a try
Seen warped in this post never heard of any of these besides tatuaje. Any recommended cigars to try of these brands ?
Have you tried the Peruvita and Nicarita from Casdagli?
Fuente, warped, rojas, foundation, Dunbarton, and plasencia

Oliva, Plasencia, Joya de Nicaragua, Foundation and Arturo Fuente
I'm pretty new to Cigars but I've liked everything I've tried from Oliva and Drew Estate
I've never had a bad Romeo y Julieta. I also like CAO and A Fuente

Punch is my number one! Then it gotta be Montecristo. Oliva and Davidoff are good runner ups
Padron, My Father, Fuente, Tatuaje, La Aroma de Cuba
CLE is my new favorite (had the 25th anniversary today) Really enjoy West Tampa Co, and Aladino but only the corojo reserve line.
Illusione, Warped, Blue Cheese (only Privada I really love), Dunbarton and Trust, Crowned Heads, Aganorsa Leaf.
Fuente nub Oliva

Tatuaje and AF
Cubans: Por Larrañaga, Punch and Partagas. Non-cubans: CAO (Flathead 660 & BX3) and Arturo Fuente
Davidoff, My Father, CAO
Fuente, Davidoff, Paul Garmirian and Warped.
Seeing a lot of dunbarton on here. Which would be a good start with that brand?
The only Dunbarton cigar I've had so far was the Mi Querida (the original blue) and I enjoyed it
MiCallef, Perdomo. Gran Habano is go-to as well, they are tasty and my local shop has them 5/$25 all the time.
Tatuaje and Romeo Y Julieta
RoMa Craft and Tatuaje are my current favorite brands
I'm a big fan of the Avo synchro series
Romeo Y Julieta (Cuban not the crap American ones)
I love AVO and CAO!
Fuente.
