As some of you already know I had a neighbor who lost all his cigars in the flood in the Spring. He lived in his house for 25 years, but had to move because of all the mold left.

I am looking for suggestions on cheap cigars...He has a 5 cigar a day habit, and with his new house he has a budget of about $250/mo. I know he should cut down but he has smoked this many for as long as I have known him anyway. He has Tried La Herencia, like them but the price has gone up..isn't that always the case...He tried Nestor last month, and doesn't want any more. The month before it was Cuba Lire. I usually bring him 5-10 cigars a week...we have cigar night every tuesday. So his is looking to get about 100-120 cigars for his $250/mo limit.

If you have a cigar that falls into this price range and don't want to advertize it PM me.

Again I am not looking for Donations...He gets mad enuff when I bring him the 5-10 a week. .just thoughts.

Nica Libre has really exceeded my expectation and should age well,

Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte is another good bacg for the buck...

La Pearla Habana's Black Pearl is good OTT and has aging potential,

Carlos Torano Sig. Series is at the higher end but you can get a 5'er for like $15 here.

Those Oscuro Fuerte's you mentioned are nice and should age well,

If you can get your hands on some, Aristoff Centurion there good and cheap just getting harder to find.

RP Edge Maduro is good and a 5'er is right around $15,

For a lighter smoke a Vega Fina works for me

Just my two cents....

Oh...Gran. Habano Vintage 2002.....Had a nice depth in flavor and good construction for the price....$40 a box....

I'd definitely stick w/ box purchases to maximize value. Just looking at what's out there now...

Quintero - $28

Perdomo2 - $34

Indian Tabac boxer - $37

JDN Antano - $34

IT Super Fuerte - $43

LGC Artessanos -$73 (A little more but worth it.)

Treasury Sampler - $28

Hey I'd like to eat filet every day, but I gotta grilled cheese every now and again so I can eat it every so often. You can do very well for $2.50 a stick, you just have to bide your time occasionally to get the exceptional values. You don't mention his preference, maduro/conn, large ring/small, torp/robusto, dominican/nic....

Maybe some 5 Vegas... Gold Maduro?

Nick's Sticks should be around that price in boxes

i always like the rp vintage 90 and 92 seconds for the really really cheap cigars but still with decent flavors and body.

You honestly could do alot worse than with todays Joe, Gurkha Blue Steels for $3.50 a stick. They are a very nice (FGM approved) maduro. If they guy really is a Connie type person though, what ZRX said, the ESV 2nds are really good.

Perdomo might still make a bundled cigar targetted for the multi-cigar/day smoker. I think it was called "El Fresco". IIRC, it was a decent smoke.

IMO, he should see if he can kick the 5 per day habit and nurture a 1 or 2 per day pastime. He just might be happier. I think it'd be worth a try. If it doesn't work, there's lots of 'smokeable' bundles out there to go back to.

Derf...the guy is lucky to have a friend like you!=d>

That being said...you post some cigars at low prices...or your favorite scores...the price is going up.

This was the topic of many threads YEARS ago and was the joke of many backchannel emails.

With the Christmas season upon us, you can expect to see prices spike a bit as well.](*,)

I wholeheartedly support the request that this guy learn to live off of 2-3 instead of 5 a day. His options open up that much wider at that price point OR he should start smoking only bundled cigars that can be found here, at other internet sites or at shpos.🇨🇮
