smpf67 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hello Friends. I wanted to take a poll to see if I can get a consensus on what the BEST, very inexpensive Cuban cigar for everyday smoking is (say 2-3 per day)? I would really appreciate everyones input. Also, it must be whole leaf tobacco, not chopped (like JLP's). This way I can save my good cigars for weekends, holidays, etc! Once I get enough responses, I'll will post the results. Thanks in advance for everyones help and time in this poll. Great choices so far...keep it going! I really like the choices you're giving me. I will give a complete statistical analysis at the end of one week to let everyone know what the "Friends" really like in an inexpensive Cuban everyday smoke!!! Keep it rolling!

OZCUBAN Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hi smpf67. I also agree with tobacco-beetle. But on to your case in hand i find myself facing a similar dilemma (want to hang on to my good stuff ) But I would suggest you work out what you like i.e. Strength Length etc etc Another thing to bear in mind is that some of the good ones in many Vitolas are available in Cabs of 50's which in turn would bring the unit price down Thats about all I can think of at the moment a part from some of the smokes you might not normally try can help extend your Palate. Oh and keep your eyes peeled for Specials Sales etc etc Cheers Oz Cuban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers72 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 At 3-5 per day, I would get a box each of BCJ, Dip5, Party Short when they are on sale. I would stick to smaller, premium smokes that can be had for around $4 each when on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jquest63 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hi, Not knowing what your tastes are and how long you've got to smoke, I'll recommend one of my faves. Por Larranaga Petit Corona: Great Value smoke for any time of day/nite and a relatively short smoke time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evo03 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I like Partagas Petit Coronas Especiales. Very reasonably priced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I think it depends on what you consider inexpensive. Personally, I don't feel such a cigar really exists. There are some excellent minutos and perlas to be had as mentioned, but given their small sizes and price per cigar, I don't consider them inexpensive. Also, at 3-5 per day, if you are used to something bigger which takes longer to smoke, you could end up smoking twice as many small cigars. Having said that, I think a number of petit coronas might fit the bill - Bolivar being my first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tampa1257 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 You might want to consider Por Larranaga Monte Carlo's, Great flavor, not expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokem Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 PLPC, BPC and Monte 4s, in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromeroselli Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I have to say that when a Monte 4 is right on.... it's dead right on. Not many things better. I have to step in and recommend the Punch Petit Punch. Sometimes when I think I've got enough time to smoke one I have to put it out, because it's taking too long. You'd be shocked at how long you could milk a half corona. And the flavor in my opinion rivals cigars 3 times the price. Also, if anyone could help and give a quick review of a PL Montecarlo, I would appreciate it as well. These have been on my radar for awhile and seems that they could fit the bill for smp.

audio1der Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 RYJ Coronitas en Cedro? Boli PC? HU Regalias? Monte 4 for sure. Many PCs are less expensive, but I just love the RYJ Cor end Ced. It's price belies its indulgence. Depends on the vitola you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aavkk Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I'll second the PL Montecarlos but I personally feel the the entire RA marca to be a tremendous value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van55 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yiou might consider some of the formerly machine-bunched, hand finished cigars that are now all hand made, but are still priced as if they were machine bunched. RyJ Mille Fleurs are a good value. Same with Partagas Mille Fluers and H. Upmann Coronas Major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van55 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Bolivar Petit Coronas can also be found for under $200.00 U.S. for a cabinet of 50. Superb value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizedean Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I smoke PC's on a regular basis more than anything else. Because they are a relatively inexpensive daily cigar, still have great flavors and they fit into my time constraints. Maybe you should get fiver's of a few to try before investing in a box or cab. My current rotation has been treating me great. I list them in no particular order because each has something different to offer. All are economical by the box or cab. I like variety so over time I am able to keep some of each on hand. Boli PC Punch PC Trini Reyes Dip 4 PLPC RASCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedyGonzales Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 If we´re talking inexpensive cigars/everyday value smoke, here are my suggestions: • Partagas Super Partagas • Partagas Mille Fleurs • Romeo y Julieta Mille Fleurs • Fonseca Cosacos • H. Upmann Majestics If we´re to spend a €/Euro more, there are plenty of Minutos, Perlas and Petit Coronas. Greets, Speedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
