What's Your Favorite Budget Brand??

I smoke the Optimo Clasico on the golf course. Also a very mild cigar. These are not the machine made versions. Yes, they come from the distributor of Swisher but these are handmade cigars that are as nice of a yard cigar as you are going to find. If, of course, you like them mild.

I like the FDO naturals myself. I pick them up a few at a time for 1.50 each when i swing by the local B&M.

When ordering online, i like the Fam. 3000 and for a few bucks more the Sancho Panza Double Maduros.

La Finca maduro 54 and maduro robusto, Sancho Panza double maduro any size.. Don Tomas Corojo..

Jerry in Minnesota.

Agree with c2000, Sancho Panza Double Maduro is tasty & cheap. Also, I like the Cusano 18 paired maduro. Either available pretty cheap. I buy online becuase I live in Excessive Taxville (aka California).

I buy online too, due to living in Taxachusetts. You guys convinced me, I think I'm going to try the Sancho Panzas.

I see you're in LA like me. Where do you get Gols at that price?

They're prices on LGC, CAO, Sancho Panza, Camacho etc, turn them into everyday, cheap smokes.

I didn't think their site and prices were legit, but they are and shipping is fast.

Buying at B&Ms in L.A. is just crazy.

FdO for sure, and my "go to" is the Saint Luis Rey Rothchilde Maduro- which if ordered online can be just under $2 as stick or just slightly over with shipping. The SLR RM is one of my favorite smokes, period. Sssssssssshhhhhhhh - this little secret is just for us gorillas - I don't want demand and price to go up on this little beauty.

IT Super Fuerte's Maddy's are usually real cheap and a great stick.

My everday cigar has become the Padron 2000 nat. One great cigar I get a good deal on them if I buy them by the box.

I guess "budget" is sort of relative, but you can score a lot of 5 Vegas dirt cheap on CBid, and I loves me some 5 Vegas. You can consistently score boxes of Series 'A' for $40 or less, and I just got six fivers of the classic line (3 robusto and 3 torpedo) for $7.00/fiver.

I also just bought a box of Padron 3000's (both natural and maduro available) from Billboard Tobacco for $72.00 (%20 off). That's $2.88/stick. I've never considered the 3000 a "budget" stick, but at $2.88.....

[fitzsmoke]

I guess you have a pretty generous budget if you can spend $3 per cigar. How many you smoke would make a big difference I suppose.

If I only smoked three of four sticks per week I would go with Padron 2000M, Padron 3000Nat., LGC Gol, ERDM Nat.. All in the $2 to $3.50 range.

So far the best I have found are the V Centennial brand and Churchill Deluxe. Yeah, I know that they may be looked down on, but the V's have a nice mild taste that I enjoy, and I find that the taste of the Churchill Deluxe are better than most bundles.

So what do you run to for a budget smoke???

All The Best To My Fellow BOTL'S

Well, there's "budget" and then there's "BUDGET"... The difference being price. For a top-line budget cigar I definitely recommend the GPECC Epicure (50 for $62) from JR Cigars. I rate these very high and think they are incredible smokes if they retailed for $6 apiece.

And for those of us who really like cheap cigars the Roly line is available at a local B&M for $12 per bundle of 20 in the robusto size. And that's about as cheap as I'll go. Plus I actually like these on occasion.

Thanks!
