Best Under The Radar & Cheapies You Have Found?

[LazyLightning]

Hi folks,
As the title asks, what are some of the best under the radar cheapies that you have found and come to enjoy?

I realize taste and cheap/expensive is a bit subjective, so lets say under the $5.00 mark for price. Taste is going to be a bit harder to nail down, but maybe think of some that many can agree on (if possible)

It's not always easy to reach for a $5,$7,$9+, etc... stick everyday
So maybe this thread can be helpful to the newb bum community, of which I fall into.

Hope everyone is having a fine day!
Chris

This sounds like a job for @Bruck , resident budget smoke expert.

I have found the Schizo cigars are good with a year or so on them. Chillin Moose is a solid choice, as is the Diesel line if you like something stronger.

That Schizo is a nice inexpensive smoke. Punch London Club for around $55 a box online. Rated a 90 and in Top 25 Cigars for 2016 @Cigar Aficionado if that matters to you. Someone sent me an Iron Horse that was good. Sosa makes some decent smokes.....

Good suggestions folks,
The Schizos I see mentioned a good bit, might have to give those a try. The Sancho Panza cigars as well. The bomb from Andy I got back in April had one in it, and it was very tasty, but it wasn't a Maduro. I am about to place an order and since I am sitting on some I like, I thought it would be a great time to branch out and try some new sticks while I can and thought some cheaper filler sticks would be nice to throw in the cart also.

Much appreciated everyone!

Chillin Moose is a decent smoke, and reasonable

Gran Habano Vintage 2002 is a decent smoke. Nothing to write home about, mind you, but a decent smoke.

I like the Obsidians with the black sleeve once they've sat around a year or so. You've got to draw slowly tho - they get nasty if you heat them up. The Obsidian White Noise is supposed to be good but I've never tried one - looks too much like a tampon in the applicator for me...

Oliva Connecticut is decent too. I think it's Holts that has them in 10 packs on sale pretty cheap every once in a while.

In addition to the 601 blue and the 858 I know you already have had:

Sancho Panza Double Maduro, Padron 2000 (either maduro or natural), Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic 1979 (goes pretty cheaply on CBID on a regular basis), Illusione Rothchildes (little crack sticks).

Also, you can always keep an eye on Cigar Monster - https://www.cigarmonster.com/ - it's part of Famous Smoke shop and when they do the Mashup from 11-12 every day there are usually some good deals.

Sancho Panza Double Maduro

This is a really good maduro cigar ROTT and gets a bit better with a LITTLE rest. They start to lose flavor if you keep them around too long.

If you like a fairly mild smoke, Pirate's Gold from CI is super-cheap. Must have a year of rest, at which point they punch way above their weight for a $1.00 or so cigar. You can sometimes get a little break on the price from the Devil Site.

The Pepin Cuban Classic is very good. I still have a few laying around. Might need to check cbid for some more.

Quite a few years ago I bought a bundle of these to hand out during golf rounds for the guys who always wanted a smoke but never brought their own. I got tired of giving expensive sticks to people who could never appreciate them ya know? Anyway...they were quite mediocre fresh but what do you expect for a buck. I ended up having some get lost in the humi for about 2 years. Tried one out for the hell of it and it was fairly good.



I would also add the Latitude Zero Experimental which are extremely consistent and can be had cheap...and the La Herencia Core which was one of my former go to's. They used to be found on cbid for cheap. Dont know if they are still on there. Also the 601 La Bomba is a fine little firecracker. The Man O War Ruination was also a solid cbid score
