Sorry for such a typical inquiry, fell free to hammer me;

Looking to try some real "powerhouse" cigars for less than $3. I've been mild-medium for years, but I feel I'm missing something. Searches of the forum have generated a mile long "to buy list". Can you narrow it down??

Two of that have kick that I enjoy are the CAO Brazilia and The Edge by Rocky Patel. Many in here would also suggest Padron.

Good luck at finding Brazillias at less than $3. The "Powerhouse" smokes are usually a "you get what you pay for" proposition. I recommend the HdM Dark Sumatras myself.

The JdN Antano, Camacho Corojo and La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero are 3 butt kickers that come to mind.

What CWFoster said,

and I will add JdN Antono 1970s to the list. The bigger the ring guage, the stronger the smoke. The Gran Consul Rocks.

P.S. Don't operate heavy machnery while smoking either of the above brands.

CAO Anniversary Extreme
