As a newbie to the world of cigars, I have asked, as have countless others, what is a good cigar with a low price tag.
This is a subject that has been posted over and over in countless forums, a search will produce dozens of posts with hundreds of replies on the subject.
What I am attempting to do with this small article is to bring some of the more common responses to this age old question in one place. With that said let us begin.
What is a good value priced cigar? This is a question with many possible responses. It mainly depends on you and what you do and do not like in a cigar. I would suggest that you try a variety of cigars in order to discover what you prefer. That is where this list will help. You can try most of the cigars on this list for under 2 dollars a smoke and many are priced at a dollar or less.
On to the list:
SANCHO PANZA- These are Honduran made gems that are full of flavor for a low cost. Boxes can be found for under 40 dollars if you shop around. You can find mild to full bodied cigars in the Sancho Panza line. The double maduro line is very popular.
CONSUEGRA CIGARS- They are the bundled segundos and production overruns made at the Villazon factory in Honduras - the makers of Punch, Hoyo de Monterrey, Excalibur, El Rey del Mundo, JR Ultimates. Bundles run in price from 22-35 dollars for 25 cigars. These are mainly medium bodied cigars. Best selection and prices I have found so far can be had at JR cigars. Many consider this to be the best bang for the buck in value cigars.
TAMPA SWEETHEARTS- These are apprentice rolled cigars from the Arturo Fuente factory in the Dominican Republic. Selection will vary depending on what the apprentice rollers have been working on. Bundles can be had for 25-36 dollars. http://www.tampasweetheart.com This is another selection that many consider the best value in cigars.
ROSA CUBA- Rosa Cuba is a bundled, mixed-filler sandwich cigar from Nicaraguan American Tobacco S.A. in Esteli, Nicaragua. Medium bodied and priced extremely well. Bundles of 20 can be had for 10-15 dollars depending on where you shop. This bundle seems to have a love-hate relationship with smokers. Either you will like them or not, but for 10 bucks, it will not cost you too much to find out.
FLOR DE OLIVIA- This is the bundle cigar of the Olivia line and can be found for around 35 dollars a bundle. A blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos and a Sumatra wrapper. This value cigar has a large fan club. These cigars are mild to medium in body.
ARTURO FUENTE CURLY HEAD- These are short filler cigars made from the cuttings of the regular A.F. line. The result is great Fuente flavor without breaking the bank. Mild to medium in body and about 50 dollars for a box of 25.
ROCKY PATEL VINTAGE SECONDS- If you like Rocky Patel, but the wife is threatening bodily harm if you order more, here is you salvation. These seconds are rejected for minor cosmetic defects. They have the same tobacco blends as the regular line, but due to the blemishes, they cannot be sold as a R.P Vintage. Bundles of 15 sell for around 45 dollars.
This list is by no means complete. I hope to add to it as time allows, but these should give you a place to start in your search for a good smoke at a great price.
