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

Flor de Oliva bundles, particularly the corojo. They are very consistent year to year, it seems like.
