inspired by the "saving money or the need for the name brand" thread.
What are your favorite "budget" sticks - since the term "budget" is somewhat subjective, please post what it is and the average cost you typically pay per stick. If it happens to come from a competitor don't post from who.
I'll go first.... C.Com Cameroon Label Robusto $2.50ea

I like the RP Segundos from Ccom. Great smokes and great price. Vintage 90 and 92's avg about $3 a cigar if you include shipping.

Hey brc, wassssupppp! I usually spend anywhere from $5-$10 a stick, but being a budget stick I buy these maduros from my local shop and they taste pretty good, I didn't pay attention as to the name of them, but I am going to town tomorrow and will post the name of them and how much they cost. Talk to ya later bro!0

I don't know anyone who doesn't like the Perdomo ESV '91 seconds; another favorite of mine are the Punch Segundos.0
-
the cusano P1 is very good in my opinion.
and of course... the cigar.com house blends.0 -
My budget cigars would be ccom Brazilian and Fuente 8-5-8. Unfortunately I only have a few 8-5-8's and no brazilians. I am in the process of getting my inventory down to only a few brands. I am almost done with my experiment stage.0

Padron Londres, only $2.76 a stick. Daaaaamn good.0
-
My favorite budget stick is the Onyx. It runs about $50-$60 for a box of 20 and they are a well made smoke with great flavor. I've never had any burn issues with the Onyx.0

My favorite budget stick has to be the Gurkha HMR. For $750 a stick its a deal you cant beat!0
-
Mine are:
Flor De Oliva Original - $2.25
Nub Conn. - $3.50
5 Vegas Classic - $3.000 -
I agree with the 5V classic...got about 2 boxes worth stashed. Always a good stick to have on hand IMO.
Keep in mind guys, with these SCHIP prices taking effect in about 1 1/2 days, these "budget" sticks might just cost you a little more.0 -
Cuban Aristocrat ...about 3.25 per stick ...nice toasty/nutsy flavor..I like the perfectos...have only seen these one place at a local b&m...I always gat a handful every time there...anyone else had these0

"Budget" to me means less than $3 per stick. Of those I am exploring the RP Segundos. I've had the Fusion nats. and they weren't for me, but I want to try out some of the others. The clear winner so far have been the C.com House Blends especially the Brazilians, Corojos and Blue labels. I have box Brazilians in the humi right now and plan to add the other two in a little while. When it comes to 'Firsts' I tend to range between $6-$10 per stick.0
-
Also, Sol Cubano Series B are quite tasty for a budget smoke. Just dont expect a "perfect" burn. Atleast in my exerience anyway. If you can get passed that...good smoke!0

I couldn't find the page anywhere on this site either, I guess it's only available from other sites. Here you go my friend:
