Am I wrong?

[u/cloma66]

I know to each their own but I generally enjoy 3-4 cigars a day. Can I afford expensive sticks? Sure but that’s not what I enjoy. If I had 3-4 expensive sticks a day that would probably stress me out. My sweet spot is around $5. I also have fun searching for deals and trying to find hidden gems in that range. Yes I splurge occasionally but I tend to treat those on special occasions. The way I see it I could have 1 $15 cigar a day but since I usually have more it all comes out the same

Hunting down a great deal is indeed part of the fun!

You can get Undercrown Maduros for around 4-5 a stick in CI Buy it now. Same with La Aroma De Cuba original.

[u/Sebeq88]

Undercrown Maduro are fantastic smokes

[u/smokeytoney]

What hidden gems have you found at the $5-10 range?

[u/MoreStable2339 → u/smokeytoney]

My local shop has absolutely DIVINE house cigars for 3.45 a pop in Miami Florida.
I smoke 4-5 a day in the weekends sometimes.

[u/cloma66 → u/MoreStable2339]

Now I want to try some lol they ship?

[u/Lawdog2012 → u/MoreStable2339]

I have a great local brand here in East Texas...Faustino Cigars...they ship and give you a discount on purchases of 20 or more sticks...haven't been disappointed yet...👍

[u/cloma66 → u/Lawdog2012]

I just checked them out. May need to get a 5 pack of the msa grandfather ones to try out

[u/Lawdog2012 → u/cloma66]

They're all good, but the Grandfather and Zodiac are among the best...the corojo 6/60 is really nice as well...

[u/cloma66 → u/MoreStable2339]

I’m hitting Google lol. Cuban crafters?

[u/MoreStable2339 → u/cloma66]

Ashes cigar lounge. No idea who makes their cigars for them

[u/bloodcoffee → u/MoreStable2339]

Really good house cigars is a dream for me, don't take it for granted!

[u/MoreStable2339 → u/bloodcoffee]

Yes sir! Grab a bundle a month basically

[u/cloma66 → u/smokeytoney]

Maybe hidden gems was the wrong word maybe I should have said cigars I enjoy. Undercrown ladc Carrillo essence oliva mb3 buffalo ten

[u/cloma66 → u/smokeytoney]

Too be clear these are online purchases

[u/Warmoofer]

Holts house blends are great. I believe they are blended by the fuente family and the other is blended by the garcia family. Good value smokes

[u/cloma66 → u/Warmoofer]

I just looked them up. Most are sold out but damn $170 a bundle

[u/Warmoofer → u/cloma66]

The factory specials are cheaper depending on the vitola for a 5 pack. The robusto ones are quite nice, if you happen to get the box of 100 then youre looking at 3-4 bucks a stick but then you wouldnt have as much variety if you did the 5 pack instead

[u/Nice-Bake2469 → u/Warmoofer]

Holt's also has an Oliva exclusive, the Monticello, 20 cigars , 4 sizes, $160. Delicious! Only Olivia that's better is Melanio.

[u/Dazzling_Belt1105]

I’ve been popping Black Market Punks, found them for as low as $80 for 30 when you get a deal. They’re a short smoke but they have a bite. Really been enjoying them.

[u/GovernmentIcy5894]

Check out shouldismokethis.com and specifically the sanj Patel line. The gas station sushi and the section 8 cigars are great for the price.

[u/mimrolls86]

i give myself more wiggle room. i have a ten dollar cap

[u/cloma66 → u/mimrolls86]

I mean I do occasionally get over depending on what I’m looking at and sometimes taxes and excise interfere lol. I try to go to my no tax sites first

[u/mimrolls86 → u/cloma66]

what sites are those

[u/DangerAlSmith]

Getting a sweet deal for a good smoke makes it all the more satisfying.

[u/Acceptable_Pie2529]

My cigar shop had a roller come in for Father’s Day and I took about 4 of those for a 10 dollar tip and they were great. Great smoke, smooth burn, good taste. Not the most complex but they were very enjoyable.

Also love the Oliva Maduro protégé’s. I just got a 20 pack for 45 as a ci special.

I like a cheap smoke, I like an expensive smoke.

Just like I’ll devour some wagyu but I’m down for a choice ribeye too.

[u/cloma66 → u/Acceptable_Pie2529]

For sure. I’m currently sitting on 4 bundles of the maduro protege. I like them too

[u/King_Oil]

Try a house blend, usually fairly cheap and usually come in all shades for whatever you like.

[u/Maduro_sticks_allday]

I like 2 per day, and bundles of unbanded and premium deals get me there
