Picadores for sure but the JLs are creeping up to BRC and RASS levels and the Monte Tubos are more expensive than the standard 1 and 4.

I have added the Cuba price list to initial post. Hell I will do it again now 

Add some stick $ numbers to your picks if you can

Por Larranaga Montecarlos - about $8. Outside that there isn’t much bang for the buck in the Habanos portfolio compared to NC cigars.

PLMC, du depute.

PLPC maybe.

BPC, El Principe.

Basically anything $10 or less. Not great, but that's the best you can do.

If BPC was actually $8, it would be my selection, but they’re closer to $12.

For me it's any Rafael Gonzalez. Especially the PC.

Agreed. I got them for like $60 a box. Thought they would be my yard gars. Then promptly lost them in a coolidor for 4 years. Now? Damn. Really smoothed out and a pleasure to smoke. Still carry them when I may have to ditch them in a pinch. Cheaper than ditching a Sig ll ,Reyes, colonials.....et al.

After reading this thread HSA will be rethinking PL pricing. 

[Low]

My top 3 in order going off FOH prices -

El Principe at $11

PLPC at $11

HuHC at $8

Honorable mentions to HdM Epi #2 and PSD4, because the 22s I bought at $17 are worth every penny, and might even be worth it at $20. Still a bit of a stretch for "bang for your buck" though
