budget maduros?

I really enjoy the Tampa Sweethearts #4 I believe it is. Great sticks with that great Fuente profile at half the cost or more..
 
Flor de Oliva are coo.
Consuergas are coo.
Famous Nics are coo.
But, Perdomo Frescos are epic for the price.

Infact, disregard ALL the other suggestions everyone else made, or will make, and just get Perdomo Frescos. ;)
 
Being on a limited budget myself, I bought the Flor de Olivas, the Sancho Panza DMs, Punch elites(they used to be in that range, and I guess the london clubs still are). The Flor de Olivas and Punches are ok for what they are, but I'm not particularly enjoying the Sancho Panzas at all. I had one yesterday that I thought was terrible. I guess thats all subjective though. Now I'm stuck with a bunch of them and don't want to get stuck with a bunch more looking for other cheap smokes. They're really no substitute for a good cigar. I would rather devote my time, resources and humidor space to better sticks that I can smoke less often. I'd like to try some of the others mentioned, but not if I have to buy a bundle or a box.

Consuegra #9 Maduro. Google it for you best price at about $35 per bundle of 25. I think you'll find that is JRCigars.com That reminds me - I'm completely out.

There are lots of tricks for the budget minded smoker. Read a bit and post an intro if you'd like to join us.

I used to smoke Connies and quite enjoyed them. Actually I'm thinking about getting some more just because of this thread. Now, I know that there used to be a great Connie to "Production Smoke" chart. Since the selection has changed so much is there a newer version of said chart?

Here's the older one, if it'll help anybody:

Try Onyx...

Not exactly the price point your looking for but a really good maduro for a buck more than you want. I've had the robusto, belicoso, and the mini-belicoso and like the latter the best, just because it doesn't take 1.5 hours to smoke.

I also heard the Sancho Panza Double maduro is a great smoke for the $$$.
 
Jeezus....how many of these "what's the best budget smoke out there" threads do we need??
