Puros Y Vino Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Hmm.. So not necessarily Cheap & Cheerful I take it? If so, here's my crack at it. (no particular order) HU Magnum 50. A biggish cigar at a decent price. Once of my first loves in the CC world. PL Picadores. Great bang for the buck Hermosos No 4. RyJ Cazadores. Bypassed by many. Of which I'm thankful for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorPerfecto Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 It's so subjective and ever-changing. If there were a real answer to the question... I'm not sure this forum would exist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigger Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Off the top of my head: RASS Bolivar Petit Corona PLPC in no particular order, and subject to change without notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgallo55 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Monte petit edmundo Sancho non plus Partagas lusi Not in a particular order, but than again the answer is very subjective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokyFontaine Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 HUHC. There isn't a greater value in cigars in my opinion. I get damn near an hour out of them, and they're outstanding. I'd put PLPC up there, but without some time down, they're pedestrian at best (to me) Then lastly, I'd say a RASS or graded/high quality Monte #4. Inexpensive, and in my limited experience, when it's on, it's on. The problem is...when it's off, it's firepit decoration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westg Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Money and Enjoyment . A quality box of Cohiba Genios. Don't get me wrong ...In Aus from Rob we get them for a bargain compared to other retailers. So for 50 to 60 notes for an hour of smoking bliss go a PSP box . (Aus Price) For me the same goes for Monte 2 and Hoyo San Juan. Sit back relax and enjoy high quality hand picked cigars. Money well spent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Squiggler Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 For a relatively cheap stick, PLPC can't be beat IMHO. There are other great PCs of course, but as far as value goes I think PLPC takes the cake. I agree that high quality RASS rate high on the value spectrum, and I think good PSD4 rate right up there with them. Montecristo offers a lot of good values as well. Depending on what you're after (regarding vitola/smoke time), the No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 are all great sticks for the price. Hard to narrow it down to 3, because in the end it will always come down to personal taste. At least if he picks up a few popular boxes like PSD4 or RASS, he won't have any trouble giving/trading them away if he decides he doesn't like them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Deeg Posted February 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2020 I've had no cigar deliver on the level of the PLMC in the bang for buck department. Tastes expensive, lasts over an hour, pretty consistent. PLMC SCdlH Principes Juan Lopez #2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'd have to be hand-selected, but definitely. The next-to-nothing price of a box of PLMC has always blown my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibearsv Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 My list might not be the least expensive bunch but here goes Sir Winston - never had one that didn't make smile Diplo #2 - always surprised at the Cuban twang flavors PLPC - great sweet flavor and takes more time than the size would suggest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTP21 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 BBF PLPC Party Shorts Honorable mention: Partagas Lusi. At 13-16 a stick they're a bargain. Add to that the fact they're usually high quality and available in 10's - you can't beat it for an iconic cigar that practically guarantees 2+ hours of bliss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CampDelta369 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I’m chewing the smoke on another young cracker BBF so for ME 1.BBF 2. PLMC 3. Just get a cab of Partagas Shorts in PSP and thank El Pres later. My first box was blind out of the FOH store and was brilliant. all completely subjective but you will absolutely get a taste of these Marcas DNA. At the very least these are 2fer sampler worthy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cayman17 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 For my money, it’s: 1. PSD4 (you can buy blind, they are that good lately) 2. Boil CJ (2017 are fantastic) 3. San Cristobal de la Habana El Principes (LGR code if possible) Hard to lose with any of those. Honorable mention: Partagas shorts, JL no. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
