Build your poverty pack selection that explores the flavour world of cuban cigars.

[El Presidente]

You have $50 USD and you need to put together a sampler that is both enjoyable and explores the full array of cuban cigar flavours (cocoa/cream/coffee/pepper - savoury spices/sweet spices/woodiness/citrus/honey/dry grass/fruitiness etc). The flavour wheel is below to give you a hand ....you only need to cover the major areas 

If it works, we may put one together permanently. FOH Poverty Pack

Here's my first take using single pricing from the CUNTINT store

Here's an even "poorer" pick.

• Punch Petit Coronations $8
• HDM Petit Robusto $11

Not Currently listed but I'd assume < $5

I think this is a great selection. I might also add the RG Perlas in the mix.  PLP and RG panatelas are great bang for your buck smokes.  No poverty pack would be complete without them either.

Sounds like this was designed for me.

Great idea and great thread so far. Being new to CC I don't have enough info yet to contribute to these lists but I will say that the idea of a poverty pack is really appealing to me as a newbie. It's a good thing to know that you can enjoy this hobby, or at least see if you enjoy this hobby, without breaking the bank.

I'm in a strapped for cash situation right now and was playing a game similar to this the other day.

I cant see a "poverty pack" in my life with current cuban prices. Maybe an "entry pack".

I wish my salary was indexed in cuban cigar prices.

"- How much do you earn?

- I am doing good, bro. I am making 5 boxes of Siglo VI, 4 of Lusitanias and a sampler of Limitadas. Good months come with an Asian regional too.

- Damn!"

Maybe sub a SCDLH El Principe for the HUHC to not have two Upmann in the batch.

Will this be the new FOH "Poverty Sampler Pack"? Now the financially challenged can enter the world of luxury goods!

Although you could conceivably do a "Cheap & Cheerful" sampler with a few more added in. 

Anyway, my picks:

Boli CJ

Siglo I

ERDM DT 

HU Epicures 

Hoyo Du Maire 

Monte Joyitas 

Party Habaneros

Party D6

PLP

RG Perlas

RASCC

SC EP

Might be pushing $60 on that, but IMO that's about the cheapest route to experiencing the full range of CC flavors.
