Baccarat

Baccarat is a stalwart. It's the Coors Light of handmade cigars - the smoke you need for the golf course, yardwork, walking Fido, and your freeloading pals with their hands out. Mellow, mild, super-smooth and consistent as the day is long.

It won't get huzzahs from the turtleneck-and-elbow-patches crowd who mete out the ratings from on high. But I'll be damned if Baccarat isn't a genuine crowd pleaser that cigar dudes Hoover up like they're going out of style. It's still a value relatively speaking.
