Jfeath74 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Partagas Short is the best value buy in my opinion. $265 for a half wheel (50) comes out to $5.30 a stick, good cigar that won't break the bank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Cheapos can be good, ie Jose L Piedras Petit Cazadorez, Quinteros Panetela/favoritos, Por Larranaga Panetela/Montecristo Absolute bottom price Guantanamera are pretty rough; homgeonised tobacco (I think) and spat out by machines. The former can be around $2-$4 each, the latter, less. But at that price you're probably best going for a NC/Dutch dry cigar imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliverdst Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Quintetos favoritos imo are the best rate $/quality but there are cheapers cigars. I tried to pasta @zathan website but there is a FOH message error. Google yulscigarsblogspot and you will find a price list of cigars in Cuba. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbandz Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Currently J.Piedra are selling for around 2.00 each, and they are good for walking your dog. Also cheap are Quintero, the Londres Extra are around 2.50 each. decent smokes, sometimes you get a bundle that is surprisingly good. When you have a minute, stop by Newbie Intro section and Introduce yourself to the Forum.................. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuba raises enough tobacco to be able to do without this Homogenized horror. Guantanameras have its dedicated factory somewhere in the suburbs of Havana. I have an article from L'Amateur de Cigare somewhere if you're interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave001 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 those would be what everyone already stated the "short fillers" more or less usually range a box of 25 for under 75 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigcars Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 * If you can find them, the Troya Tubos (in plastic tubes!). Machine made 100% Cuban tobacco, but VERY tasty and reasonably satisfying IMHO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David88 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I know everyone has a different opinion on this (and you must do whatever makes you happy!) but my personal outlook is I would have good cigars and smoke less than cheap cigars and smoke more. There is some correlation between the price paid and the quality of cigar (in regular production at least). I have had a Guantanamera (well as much as I could take) and am in no hurry to have another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes please, I had nothing solid to say it was homogenised tobacco apart from the look of the wrappers, they have that 'formed from a big sheet of green mush' appearance about them The factory is the ICT factory?

NSXCIGAR Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I have only ever smoked one example of Guantanamera, around the time of its introduction. They should have paid me to smoke it. Homogenized horror indeed. I simply have no respect for anyone who spends hard-earned cash on rolled donkey poop such as that. Guantanamera isn't fit to shine the shoes of JLP or even anything ICT cranks out. I'd rather grow my own tobacco in my backyard and attempt to roll it up myself. At least I'd have some pride in it. To the OP, there's an entire forum dedicated to cheap and cheerfuls. I didn't get the impression you wanted our opinions on good values, but simply the cheapest smokeable Cuban cigars. Yes, JLP, PLP and Quintero all pretty much have the market cornered on the cheapest HSA products I would deem smokeable. In the case of the PLP and JLP Petit Cetros, eminently smokeable. Quintero, IMO, is the worst value of the three. But if you prefer large RG, the Favoritos may be the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I am failing to consider tobacco volume and only comparing stick-for-stick. A tremendous error on my part. When correctly calculated, the Favoritos are in fact the best value.

JohnInCleveland Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Assuming you want to smoke something that's reasonably enjoyable... I had a Romeo y Julieta Coronitas en Cedro last night from a box I bought a few years ago for around $80 and it was actually excellent. For $3, you're getting something worth smoking. You could do a lot worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
