Ram Tour Grinds would be my first choice. They're maybe not a great fit to the question as they're only in cult status now due to the length of time since the company was altered to its current state. They were quite popular in their time.

Removing the above from the equation, I would say the Precept Tour Premium irons. I've owned two different sets, traded both. Probably didn't give them enough of a trial. I still think about them, maybe picking up a set, but it's a bit silly at this point. Already have a bunch of sets I don't play, why add another....

TN-87

Titleist 681

Tourstage X-Blades from back in the day before they went nuts with crazy graphics

Tourstage MR-23s if you accurate

Miura TM 300s

TM Coin forged RAC combo

Miura before they started selling in U.S. with a distributor, people will shout "sacrilege!" but they released a lot of mediocre clubs to the US market, and then got it together in last 5+ years to be back on top

TItleist AP2 originals - while the 718s are arguably the pinnacle, the first model was a big deal for them after losing their way

Callaway X Forged 2007 and 2013
