best cigar for your $$$

[Drake]

name a few cigars you really enjoy that $2-$5
i've been trying a lot out trying to find a few i like to save some money. any suggestions? so far, the best i've found for the price was sancho panzas. but the ones that taste good are too mild and one that aren't too mild aren't very smooth.

Hate to sound like a broken record, I mention these all the time it seems like. Try-Consuegras, Perdomo "overruns," LVH "fumas," As for ISOMs-Quintero brevas.

so where do you find Consuegras? I have yet to find them anywhere. and the LVH fumas, are those overruns or something? i haven't seen those anywhere either.

What ever you do - you gotta have patience with these. You probably will not like them an awful lot straight out of the box. These need aging - the more the better. Some of the three/four year old Connie's I've had were some of the BEST cigars I've smoked...

The LVH are the La Vieja Habana - Drew Estates cigars. Some of those are a good smoke for the money. Most of these are mixed filled cigars (as opposed to long filler, which are full leaves, they are made basically with the tobacco scraps - good tobacco, just not full leaf). I especially like the "Leather Patch", which I believe is long filler...

$2 to $5 is a bit of a range espeically if you happen to live in an area that doesn't tax the crap out of cigars.

Cusano 18 and Corojo
Casa Torano
Torano Signature (I think the smallest one I can get for under $5)
Edge by Rocky Patel
Sancho Panza
LVH

thanks for the links and info. I appreciate it.

I knew LVH is La Vieja Habana, and have had a few of them and enjoyed them, I just have never heard of anything from Drew Estates refered to as "fumas". I have heard the term used on some overrun brands before since the term supposedly refers to the smokes that the cigar makers rolled and kept for themselves to smoke. Anyway, in a couple of different posts, SFG75 has specifically said LVH "fumas" and I am curious which ones he is actually referring to.

Now that you mention it, I've not seen the "fumas" either... Scott's going to have to answer that question...

JR's just got their line of Consuegra's back in - but the sizes most rave about are already sold out (the 1113 and 1133's).
