anjimj Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Punch punch. A box purchased in 2013 for 160 bux was the most glorious box i ever brought. Connie 1. Sir Winstons. Never lets me down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamo320 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 3 different price points, but to me, these are ones that have exceeded my expectations and have felt like a bargain. PLMC Priced under $5 a stick, I have been plowing through them. Rich and sweet, so full of flavor. Take it slow and you have an amazing 1 hour smoke. Monte 1 Lonsdale is probably my favorite format. 1.5 hours of pure Monte, but this one stands out for me from the others. I’ve had incredible luck with them. Reasonably priced too. Trinidad Fundadores Not an economy purchase at all but you get what you pay for. My favorite CC so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSXCIGAR Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 2 hours ago, JohnS said: San Cristobal de la Habana El Principes It pained me to leave it out, but it would be my #4. Also, probably the best value in all of CCs: RAS in Cuba. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shippers Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 For me best bang for buck... HUHC RyJ Mille Fluers PL Montecarlo All of them are cheap and It is also a nice mix of vitolias - only thing missing to round it out is a Churchill / Double Corona. So I would add in the Partagas Lusitanias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shatner's Bassoon Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 My list is based on limited experience, but over the year or so I’ve been smoking regularly I’ve come to rely on the following as staples offering a quality smoke at good value: - Bolivar Royal Corona - RASS - Partagas Lusitania I would obviously smoke the first two more often but the Lusitania has never let me down and is IMO reasonably priced.

RDB Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 In no particular order: - Partagas Lusitania. Name one other category of consumer good where you can experience the very best the world has to offer for about USD15. - PLMC. Consensus favourite on this thread? Unbelievably low cost for a great smoke. USD5 each? - Bolivar PC. Look at the blind tasting comp for this one. Complex, rich, satisfying, ages well... at a bog standard PC price. Honourable mention to SCDLH El Principe? Great thread so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck14 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 1. Por Larrananga Montecarlos (almost impossible to remove this from the top!) 2. Upmann Half Coronas 3.
