Funny question ... Almost all the cigars I have are under 125 cuc per box or under 250 cuc per cab ... Say 90 % to 95 % are anyhow .

I believe a cuc is the same as a U.S. Dollar .

I have others in the sub $5 range I like as well or better, but lately I've been buying a lot of Xicar HC series cigars from Cigars International for $2-3 per stick. They used to be more expensive, and I understand they are discontinued, so I am buying a ton of them and putting them in a coolidor for later. Terrific value!

You can get this sampler to see what you like, then watch for sales. These come to $3.50 per stick, still a great deal. I love the Habano Coloroado, the Criollo, and the Maduror (HC Black). CI rotates these into sales, so check weekly.

Xicar Defiance is also very good, I just got a couple boxes of Robustos (5.0x50) for $2.50 per stick

Padron Londres, so good for the money!

Diesel Unlimited Maduro d.x belicoso. A great first cigar of the day.

[GerryM]

Smoking it right now, Ramon Bueso Genesis Habano Torpedo.

It's an incredible smoke for just over $2 a stick by the box from the evil auction site.

J. Fuego Sangre del Toro Toro is also very good for about the same money.

[badbriar]

Forgot this one... Nica Libre. :dr

[dave]

Few might think of it as an economy cigar, but if your price point is $5, I'd beg you for the flexibility to throw two more dimes at the question and get a box (or three) of these:

I think this thread for the most part differentiates itself from the "cheap smoke" thread where the list is inundated with obvious 'cheap' cigars. While I wouldn't want to say there's a distinct line between inexpensive and cheap it isn't so obscure. Hopefully it stays course.

The Guayacan Gallo Pinto is serving me well. Luckily I found them on Serious which knocks the price per stick down to $2.change.

CI Legends-OlivaI've wondered about those Legends. How do they feel density wise. House cigars always seem to be under-filled, loose and light.
