Favorite Cigar Under $2.00

[brigey57]

Okay, so tell me what is your favorite cigar for under 2 dollars? Tell me the size, ring gauge and what makes the cigar a good buy for under $2 (this could be flavor, cigar size, value for the money)? For a kicker does it come in a maduro stick. :rolleyes:

[cort]

Sancho Panza Double Maduro Quixote. 4.5x50

Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte Pamplona. 4.5x50

Both right at $2 a piece w/ shipping.:cb

[groogs]

I would have to go with the Oliva G Special G Maduro. I think this cigar has great chocolatey flavors and it is a nice small stick, so it is easy to smoke between classes, or on a winter evening when it is to cold to spend an hour outside. By the box, they run about $1.75 each.

I agree, this is a great stick and Olivas are just damn tasty.:tu

Smoked my first this past weekend and it was GREAT. Need to look into a box of 'em for sure.

I also have been enjoying the new batch of Nic 3000s, right at $2 each.

[Ratters]

Padilla Obsidian of cbid.

[duckmanco]

La Vieja Habana - The Early Years Silencio 4x46 PC box of 24 for $39.99 One of my favorite PC's for flat out Nicaraguan rich flavor with a chocolaty finish. Awesome short smoke that I believe also fits your maduro requirement.

[bobarian]

I also like the Special G Maduro and the LVH Silencio.
But my favorite? How about FOUR CFO #7 Robustos! 50 cents each, they are hard to beat!:ss

[Lucky_Hippo]

I'm gonna agree with Duck and say LVH, but I'm gonna switch it up and say the LVH Corojo. You can get the Bombero (6.0" X 50) for under 2 bucks all day long. These are great little jewls that often get dismissed due to the mixed filler, but the flavor and construction out way that point by miles.

[Starchild]

I second the Sancho Panza DM and the Oliva special G. I've also been enjoying Punch London Club Maduros, 5"x40 $1.50

[dunng]

Padilla Obsidian of cbid.

Definitely a good choice... as well keep your eyes out for aged Nestor Reserve Maduros (Torpedo Bundle - 6.5" x 54). :ss

:tpd: the special G maduros are great.

I also like the Flor de Oliva... I like the regular petit belis

[e22byrnes]

If you keep your eyes peeled, it's not too hard to pick up some RP Vintage 1990 or 1992 Seconds on CBID. They are one of my favorite smokes to begin with, even more so around $2.

[dcamacho]

Flor Da Oliva Corojo Corona

i totally forgot about this cigar, good smoke :ss

[Smokin Gator]

For me it would be the Nestor Reserve maduro or the RP X-Out Liga A (Edge) maduro.

backing this up wholeheartedly. just bought a box after ttrying one and ive a new favorite smoke

[BC-Axeman]

I have some Famous Nic 1000s that taste Cuban. They are rumored to have a sweetened cap, but these don't seem to. They snork good.:ss

Where is Bobarian and his CFOs? They are cheap, good cigars.

[Mugen910]

Do free ones count? :D

What is the CFO? I tried to search CFO but it was too short. I saw them mentioned before, and I tried google but no luck.

They have several samplers, but value wise the Blend #7 robusto cant be beat. You are close enough to give Barb a call, she is great. If you get a bundle of #7 robustos and dont like them. LMK and I will buy the balance.:tu

Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte Pamplona. 4.5x50

Both right at $2 a piece w/ shipping.:cb
:tpd:
I like the longer cigars of the same rg, but those two right there are heaven.
If the Special G Maduro has about 8 months on it, they're incredible, too.
The SP's are ready to go right out of the box and hang on to their flavor for a good, long while, whereas the Special G maddie fades fast once it hits a year.
Man, I need a cigar.

[Starscream]

Punch Elites Maduro

[Celt]

Oh ya Elite Maduro is an awesome value smoke!

Bravo!

[Legend]

Mine change from time to time. Currently I'm on the slow aged by perdomo. Just got 60 for $81 after shipping. About a buck thirty a stick. And yes it does come in maduro. Same price.

Agreed, I've smoked.......80 in the last 4 weeks.:ss

pretty intense smokes for the money. I have a couple wheels of them i have been aging since the first edition :)

Yeppers!:cb
Hands down, my favorite inexpensive every-other-day smoke.
Especially the Gloriosos. I keep at least 120 of these at all
times in their own Tupperdore. Age 'em 6-9 months & they're
quite good. A year plus, they're even better. They come often
enough on CBid that there's never a reason to spend more than
$1.40@, & that includes shipping costs.

Other under-$2 favorites (including shipping):
El Mejor Espresso Torpedo & Toro
Padilla Obsidian Belicoso
Padilla Hybrid Robusto
Felipe Gregorio Dominicana Torpedo
5 Vegas Gold any size
5 Vegas Series 'A' any size
San Luis Rey Rothchild
CI Legends by Perdomo Belicoso

[Pyro]

Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte Cordoba - a truly great tasting cigar after aging for half a year or more. Full, concentrated and almost Cuban flavour!

5 Vegas Gold Robusto - very mild but with nice character after a shorter aging. A perfect cigar for beginners but also enjoyable for the more experienced for a change of pace!

Both are slightly over $2 where I usually buy them but I guess they can be found cheaper!

[ScottishSmoker]

CC....Los Statos DeLuxe Delirios
NC....La Vieja Habana Maduro

[bookman]

Punch LCM is a great stick! Similar to it in size is Bolivar Cofradia Petit, paid at B&M $35/24 and well worth it!!

Hmmmmmm. Never had one. Hate to ask, but do they have any age on them?

I also love the DPG Fumadors from Holts. After about 6months of age, they are a fantastic budget smoke.

i have a feeling that this thread will be epic... Because i like good cheap smokes!

[Dunkel]

Indian Tabac Maduro Boxer Got 10 for $14 from c- bid. They are a favorite, nice and bold. I also really like 5 Vegas Series "A" but haven't got one for $2 bucks or less, yet!

[kelmac07]

Sancho Panza Double Maduro Quixote 4.5 X 50...AWESOME little smoke!!!

[yourchoice]

First time I saw this thread. There are a few I really enjoy...

Consuegra #9 Maduro
FdO Natural
FdO Corojo
ITC Super Fuerte Maduro

I don't really care for the FdO Maduro.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the Consuegra's! I got a bundle of Connie #9's about a year ago that were absolutely fantastic IMHO. Better than most $6 cigars.

[flat6nut]

Do free ones count? :D

:tu


Honestly I do not know of a good cigar under $2.00, but at $2.14 I love the Tampa Sweetheart #500 Maduro, 5x50. I just burned thru a bundle in less than 3 weeks.:ss

[taltos]

I am surprised that nobody mentioned Benchmades or if they did, I missed the mention. Great Pepin/Ashton sandwich cigar with some pepper and a medum+ strength.

[big a]

:tpd: the benchmades are a great smoke. I also really enjoy Taboo value blends, 20 for $30 but there is always some taboo coupon out there ;). With all this talk about Sancho Panza and Tampa Sweethearts I'll have to add them to the list of sticks to pick up

[Fumador]

I love my RGPC's and Quintero Panatelas for $2 each.

[csbrewfisher]

I don't need to tell you fellas that you can get a lot of good sticks on cbid for $2. Just received a Perdomo Mega Maduro sampler today. 20 sticks for $40 + ship.

[GWN]

JLP Petite Cazadores

[dccraft]

I agree with the Perdomo Slow-Aged. The two I've had were very nice.
A couple of others is the LaFloridita Maduro with a little time is quite nice and I've got a bundle of Famous VL Hond 500 that are coming along nicely as well.

[s15driftking]

my list fits more the 2.00 - 2.50 range since the latest schip updated prices on CI.

La Vieja Habana corojo
La vieja Habana Maduro
Oliveros XL Bold
La Flor de Maria Mancini (Jrcigars)
Gurkha Sherpa

I had a Primos Los Blancos Bundle cigar that I picked up a few weeks ago for around $2.
Very tasty!!

How about FOUR CFO #7 Robustos! 50 cents each, they are hard to beat!:ss
Well it's not every day that I happen upon a testimonial from someone I respect that concerns a cigar I would never smoke. Now I will politely smoke one if given to me, but I would not be buying any, for sure. Well, this new troop support bender I got on recently has got me thinking about all kinds of different things, and I have been sampling the wares to see if I am really a dyed in the wool Havana only guy. WE SHALL SEE about this mythic Blend #7 robusto. I went ahead and grabbed two bundles with NO idea of what to expect, and in reality, they are going to troops anyway, but I will be smoking at least three to get a feel for what I am sending out. One thing I DID manage to remember, JR Alternatives are an alternative only to smoking your own feces. I remembered that from before, but for some reason I figured that times were different now. Nope, still crap, but about a buck 50 each. Poor troops :)

But no more of them, I promise.

[csbrewfisher]

Famous is selling house Nic maddie bundles today only...2 bundles/$65. I don't know how good or bad they are, maybe some of you do?

[kaelaria]

Edge Maduro Toro or Torpedo seconds (x-out Liga A) - $2/ea in bundles of 15 plus shipping on cigarbid all the time

[Les Nessman]

Famous Nicaraguan Maduro

Normally a little over $2, but Famous has a one day special making them under $2. Hands down my favorite cheap maduro (favorite size is the robusto). There is speculation that it is made by Oliva, but that was never confirmed by either Famous or Oliva.

[cigarmonkel]

CFO #7's you cannot beat. Best bang for your... not even a buck out there.

I did a blind taste test with my friend, he picked that over a 15$ gurkha, then again... i don't blame him.

Gurkha's *insert throwing up smiley face here*

[OLS]

Without a doubt 4 for 1 Punch Coronas.

[shemp]

OK I will continue my evangelism for Cuban Crafters.

The Don Kiki Brown Label's are the most kickin assinest smoke ever!!!!!!they always have one box for under $50.00 and you get 25 of them.

also the Vegas tabacalera from Cuban Crafters is muy bueno!

[The Poet]

I agree with a number of the choices above, but I especially agree with Joel re: Connies. Seconds of Hoyos, Punch, ERDM, JR Ultimate, and other Villazon flagships for maybe $1.50/each after S&H? For the budget smoker. hard to beat.
