    Question Best Under The Radar & Cheapies You Have Found?

    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.

    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.

    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Illusione Rothschild are pretty good for just over $4

    Sosa Robusto are good enough for around $2 in a bundle

    If you like Corona sized cigars you can get away with cheaper prices even on more decent cigars

    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.....
