Your recommendations: Favourite cigar $10 and under? < $250 USD a box (25)

[El Presidente]

We will run through the scales over the coming days and put your recommendations in a poll. 

Today:

Favourite cigar $10 and under?    < $250 USD a box (25)

CC and NC recommendations welcome. 

The sub $10 market is certainly shrinking.......but there are still some fine cigars to be found. 

Your recommendation? 

[GerardMichaelTX]

Warped Cloud Hopper is certainly enjoyable at the price range. Very nice coronas. Also, Fuente Lonsdale and Padron Londres. Montesinos are stil 70/80 a bundle and those are great cigars too if you give them a little age.

To preface I am in Texas so there are still even a handful of $5 cigars that are enjoyable.

$10 cigars don’t exist in my area 😂

🙄 That's over the limit Mr. Brownnose! 

Spada Gorda is the correct answer.  😁

AF short story. $150 last I checked.

I'm not sure what they are trending at in 2024 but Fonseca Cosaco is one of my favorite Cuban profiles. I only have 7 left from a box of 25 and have been trying to restrain myself from finishing the box. I always look around to see if I can find another box, but alas no.

Discovered the HVC Cerro Robusto and Hot Cake and I really enjoy them. I really like most Tatuaje lines, Oliva V Maduros, Illusione Fumee D'Amour... there are a few that I enjoy now. 

As for Cubans I'll stick to RG - always a great value for me. 

[BoliDan]

Fuente Spanish Lonsdale. High cinnamon on the retrohale. Delish

[jfire]

Oliva V Melanio in smaller sizes (for under 10 USD) one of the only NCs I’ll still smoke for the price to value ratio. If not I’m smoking a CC. Probably had 50 in the last 5 years.

[Lamboinee]

Le grand clase rex by illusione. Uses all nic aganorsa leaf. Hands down.

The first thing that came to my mind was AF Short Story. Such a great little cigar. 

If looking to go the Cuban route; HUHC or some party mille fluers
