Budget cigars.

09-14-2010, 10:13 PM

I am sure four hundred threads like this exist. However, the search function does not pull up any of them with any of the keywords I have tried to use. I'm looking for cheap but at least decent cigars that are out there. Some have already said Flor De Oliva's are great, and that Gisperts are okay. Can someone please give me a list of good budget smokes?

James - I just did a search on the word cheap in thread titles and came up with a couple.

Unbelievable, apparently search functions don't like me. I searched cheap, budget, and three other words out of desperation and found nothing *sigh* thank you guys though.

As a new smoker you probably didnt realize that cigar budget is an oxymoron.

Excellent! Well said, Bob.

Really depends on your price per stick.

I'd suggest a number of the Oliva series, including the V, where I usually pay about 3.50-4.00 per stick.

If you're okay with smaller ring guage cigars, I really enjoy the Padron Palmas Extras.

That Bob makes me giggle...One of my new favorite "budget" smokes are the Benchmade. Made by DPG to be Ashtons "bargain smoke".

dwoodward · 09-15-2010, 03:46 AM

My favorite budget cigar is still the "Cuban Delight". It's a little 80 cent cheapo that can be found at CI and a few other sites online. I like the churchill size because if I feel like smoking the whole thing, it smokes just as well as most 3-4 dollar smokes and I wont feel bad if I wanna quit early.

Amen to that!

What do you consider to be a budget smoke? I do not smoke that much (1-2 per week), so a budget smoke for me is $5 or so.

Subvet642 · 09-15-2010, 07:39 AM

For a budget smoke, I like the JR Cuban Alternatives for the HdM Epi 2. It comes out to about a buck eighty a stick, they're well made and pretty tasty.

I like the flavors on the regular fuente curlyhead (not deluxe) a little more, but they're all great smokes for the money. Padron's londres can be had for <$3/stick, and I believe they have the same blend as the x000 series. The corona size really lets the Nicaraguan wrapper shine.

Damn you and your STICKY. Why would anyone ever put a whole thread and emphasize it by making a Sticky out of it, about an over asked question, right at the top of the forum that people would ask said question?
