What is your favorite $5 or under daily smoke and why? - Page 3

I'm a big fan of the Illusione R, had my first a couple weeks back and was really impressed. I also like the Sancho Panza Double Maduro, and the Unholy Cocktail. Both of which can be had for less than $3 a stick if you are patient. Two more would be the Joya De Nicaragua 1970 and the Kristoff Madruo. Both can be bought from the Monster Mashup from time to time sub $5 a stick.

Currently, La Gloria Cubana, either Wavell or Glorias. I love the warm, creamy spice. Before that, Punch Elite, for the toasty wood notes Ive come to associate with Punch. Dont have a favorite CC, yet

Brickhouse robusto is one of my favorite cigars overall. Cant beat the price for such a great smoke.

Great thread and glad to see one that is recent....

My go to under $5 is a CAO Brazilia

IMO always great construction/quality, flavor, and burn....

They get even better if you let them sit for about a year as well. I've got a fall shopping list I am making. They are going to get bought with my igloo brand coolerdor when I get the cash together.

I've had a box "sitting" for about two years...

They are beyond excellent....

Actually, the age that's on them is what sent me over the age and into a mode where I need to age them all....

Agreed, been needing to stock up so they can age over the winter, hardly smoke at all during the colder months...

I'm loving those little Cariocas (CAO Brazilias, like above.) Great with coffee in the morning before work.
