@JoeMO Joe's a dick for making us buy these! I gifted 4 of these to some friends at a herf this last weekend. My thought is I would have loved to have tried them before buying 91 of them... But I like them so it worked out.
 
Here's the last of the $2.48 sticks from May '23.
A 60-ring Oliva Serie V. Everyday online price - $11.

Nicaraguan, with a Maduro wrapper.

Full strength and tasty, but fairly smooth - and it smoked very well.


Puffy rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1/2

$1.40 Victor Sinclair Primeros, from a March 2023 Cigars International Po' Boy sampler.

Mellow Dominican, with Dominican long leaf fillers and a Connecticut wrapper.

This is the "base" version. (also available in fancy band and foot dressing, at additional cost).

These Victor Sinclair sticks have all been well behaved.

Puffy rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 7/8

5 Vegas Gold. Honduran/Nicaraguan fillers - Ecuador Connecticut wrapper. Mellow+ smoke with a faint bit of spice.

I ran out of these, and ordered another box. The price was a bit more than I wanted to pay, but what the heck.
As it turns out, it was a "2-fer". I need to pay better attention. That puts these comfortably into the El Cheapo category at less than $2.
