Cigars In the $9-$12 Dollar Range

EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9)

Hey guys im getting ready to order 3, 5 packs of cigars in the $9-$12 dollar range and could use some suggestions. Was thinking of getting some more Padron Original 7000 naturals since they have been a great smoke, and after sitting in my humidor for a couple months even developed some fine crystals on the wrapper. What else would you suggest to get in a 5 pack? I'll eikther buy them as singles or as a 5 pack

Tatuaje Black and Brown labels, Oliva Melanio, Ashton VSG, Illusione Fume D' Amor and Ultra, EPC Encore, My Father regular and La Opulencia, Fuente Don Carlos are some I enjoy that should be in that price range. Really, that's a pretty sweet spot for a lot of sticks these days...

Given their expense cigar smokers are always trying to chase a down a great s $5 smoke. I always felt that such cigars were merely ok. In your price range you are spending double, and for such money you can get very good cigars.

I enjoy Joya Red and Silver, great price point. I agree with danimalia on just about anything Illusione. I haven't been buying cigars in quite some time due to a serious case of the CAD. I don't know that I "need" to ever buy another cigar especially given my current pipe draw. I understand there are some great deals to be had these days and I'm not even looking for them. Good luck in your pursuit.

My padron 5000 in Maduro, are my favorite. And they also are covered with delicious crystals.

Cigars can be very expensive. If you smoke at the 95% percentile of quality, such as Steve Saka's portfolio, you're now paying $15 per. Say you bought a box of 10, whatever the your rate of consumption, that's $150; the same at $10 per, that's $100. Then if you go through that box in a month and bring those totals to a year, that's $1500 for the former or $1000 for the latter. Can you really afford that? If we throttle back and consider the My Father My Father Toro, the cost is $10, whose cost adds up, as above.

Also, I saw the Don Pepin Regular (Blue) in two lists. I always loved this cigar and feel that My Father under prices it to get attention to the rest of their line, such as My Father and My Father Le Bijou. In my mind it could easily sell for several dollars more. I'd rate the My Father as very good and the fullest full bodied Le Bijou as excellent.

I began smoking what I considered a "normal" cigar such as a 6 X 52, daily. Over time the expense demanded I smoke only once a week or month, and I also began smoking a smaller cigar, such as the Rothschild.

I felt that I had to have good tobacco everyday but found a niche in moderation.

Cigars are generally expensive. How is the perfect time to buy your cigars. There are huge discounts everywhere. Your $9 - $12 is selling for $3 - $7 presently.

La Aurora 115 Anniversary Toro or Robusto regular production .

You can purchase plenty of authentic Cuban cigars in that price range.

One good cigar for the price of a tin of pipe tobacco that provides twenty smokes or more...no brainer. I do love a rich but mellow cigar, but I do see money going up in smoke more than with a pipe. When offered a good cigar, I take it.

You can purchase plenty of authentic Cuban cigars in that price range.

And while singles can be a bit harder to find online there is a fair amount of good Cuban cigars offered in 10 ct boxes and some vendors may break up the 3x5 and 5x3 packaging for individual 3 and 5 packs

 

[mso489]

A cigar is like a restaurant meal, an experience designed to please. Smoking a pipe is like cooking at home, with you in charge of packing, tamping, lighting, and maybe mixing tobaccos and/or blends, not to mention choosing the pipe. With a cigar, you are more like an audience; with a pipe, you are the performer, the chef.

I looked for Flor de Las on my tobacco website but couldnt find it so this is what i went with:

- Padron Original 7000 natural..... 5 pack
- Arturo Fuente Don Carlos #2..... 5 pack
- Partagas Black Label Gigante..... 3 pack
- Rocky Patel Sungrown 60..... 2 pack
Have some cheaper cigars to smoke day to day but might bust one of these out per week with some other good ones in my cedar glass top humidor where i keep the good stuff

where are you finding these deals? I usually shop on Pipes and Cigars

cigarpage or small batch cigars

Cigarpage and Field Supply are the same parent company, so yeah. A couple of the brands you were looking at were at least 40% discounted. I'm also getting those annoying "12 hour sale" spam mails from JR Cigar, but staples like RyJ, Punch, HdM, Allones are tempting at $3-$4 each as well.

I particularly enjoy the Fuente Hemingway Signature and Short Story. Also, the Magnum Rosado Sun-Grown are excellent cigars in that price range.
