Hello All. Please let me know if I should have posted this elsewhere.
If you have not realized yet I am a budget cigar guy. I enjoy a nice heavy smoke along with my cigars. Wondering if any of you have found any hidden gems in the budget price range (under $8/stick) that give you a good heavy smoke?
I have found some of the Diesel cigars fit in this discussion. Thanks in advance for any input or advice.

I love the Chillin' Moose; great cigar for around $2.50.

Wow, under $8 a stick gives you quite a few options! One of my favorite cigars of all time, AJ Fernandez San Lotano Requiem Maduro is less than $8 a stick and I would highly recommend it.

Aj sticks are great.
Unfortunately my best recommendation is no longer made. Berger and Argenti used to have a budget stick called the mooch.. 4-5 dollars and tons of smoke production. Sadly if i thought i could find some I would recommend them..

Check out Perfect cigar blend , their sale section. Have LeBijou 1922 ten pack for $52. Good smoke in my opinion. I should be buying that for me.

Sancho Panza Double Maduro. Quixote is best, in my opinion. The longer sticks seem to get a bit sour in the back half. And do not try to age them - they really perform best ROTT or shortly thereafter. Lots of smoke, and surprisingly good flavor profile (if you like maduros) for such an inexpensive stick. Also nice box-pressed shape so they don't roll off the table ...
