    You know, reading through these posts makes me realize how many really great smokes that are out there that can be had for cheap, esp here on c.com. It also made me realize that many of us have different ideas of what we consider 'cheap' or 'value' smokes. I usually consider the $2-$3 range value smokes, with $6-$7 smokes kind of 'normal' smokes i.e. not cheap but not premium/special occasion sticks either.

    I'm also surprised no one else has mentioned the GH Vintage 2002s - everyone was going nuts over those not too long ago. Being able to find those for UNDER $2 still amazes me, as I think they're as good as or better than many $6-$10 smokes.

    For me it's the Padron 3000. I equate Padron with super premium, but their non-Anniversary cigars are a bargain. The 3000 is a terrific size, and it never disappoints. There are some other bargains out there (Diesel Unlimited, for instance) but they get so much airplay that they're not really a secret.

    I still buy the GH Vintage. In fact, with time on them, they seem to have less wrapper issues than the earlier ones. I'm also a big fan of AJ fresh-rolled. Both of these can be found for under $2. I smoke the sht out of them. Just an observation, I saw a portable cigar dispenser in a local bar the other day and they had the 2002s inside, for $10/pop

    The AJ Freshrolled are good for the price. second the GH 2002. LPH are good as well. Lastly, don't forget the house blends.

    There's a few I really like. The PDR sungrown, LEC maduro, and Bahia red label these can be found all the time for under 2$ all great smokes in my book.And of course the GHV 2002.

    I still say for the money (can be had regularly for $4/ea, including today via the DD) that the JdN DC is one of the best on the market. As long as I am able, I will never be without them.

    not really under the radar but Vallejuelo robusto & robusto gordo  are fabulous and great price. i think it runs circles around a lot of the higher priced cigars. smoked one this morning

    I do not think you can beat it for the price + 2 or 3 bucks. Outstanding if like 'em nice and rich.

    For me it's the Cusano 18 Paired Maduro. Just love those smooth medium maduros! The robusto can be had for $3-4 per stick on sale.
