While I love a good Cuban or a nice Padron I have been lucky enough to find some amazing cigar values and just wanted to share a few with you.

About 5 years ago I placed my first order with Atlantic Cigar and took the opportunity to buy & try samplers, 5 packs, 3 packs and singles as well as "Bundles' which often allow you to get 25 sticks for the already low price of 20.

My top 5 Non-Cuban Values are:

J. Fuego 777 Triple Maduro Belicosa $70.50 / Bundle of 25 Mad value for a "knock your socks off" Maduro (be careful to dry-box for a few days as triple mads hold a lot of moisture)

J. Fuego Delirium Belicosa $97.99 / Bundle of 25 The cow-barn smell of this unlit stick gives way to wonderful full-bodied flavor and burns like a champ.

La Aroma de Cuba New Blend Robusto $117 / Box of 25 (often cheaper on sale) Rich, heady smoke that has the nicest burn you'll ever see and tasty to a nub (I'm on my 3rd box in 2 years)

Carlos Torano Virtuoso Gordo $105.99 / Box of $25 Another treat for those who like full-bodied cigars at a little over $4 per (and sometimes on sale for even less)

Don Pepin Garcia Blue Label Exquisitos (Around $110 for a box of 25) All the flavor and quality of the much pricier "My Fatther" at a lower price point.
Those are just a few of my faves and if you like Maduros and cigars that have a great peppery kick you cannot go wrong with the J. Fuego 777 ($2.82 per stick makes it my #1 Value pick)

Love to hear your low-dough faves!
