Best cheapie

[Zen Smoker222]

I am curious to some opinions of a good cheapie CC that's a smaller vitola I really liked the PLP that java gifted me but have mainly tried more expensive CC...so just kinda curious about some of your guys go to cheapie CC...preferably something that 100 or under per box and is ok without years of sleep. since I will be smoking some of them this winter! Thanks !!!

I'm with Zen. Let's hear em boys

I really like RyJ #2's as an affordable/cheapie CC... they can normally be picked up at duty free shops between $110-$120 for a box of 20 depending on where you are in the world.. (dont know what they go for from online vendors.. Ive honestly never bought a cc that way...)

I really enjoyed the Partagas Série D No. 5 and the No. 4 Both great smokes and they're about $130 a box of ten.

another option that isnt normally a "favorite" of anyones.. but one I think is ok.. especially for the price is Quinteros Nacionales... I can pick up boxes of those for less than $70 for 20 sticks at duty free in some places (Abu Dhabi usually keeps them in stock)...

Thanks everyone! yeah I am just looking for something small with decent Cuban tobbaco taste for when I am out drinking or just don't want to light up something big or pricey..

There are several H. Upmann Vitolas around $120-$135/ box of 25.
Majestics (5.5x40)
Coronas minor(4.5x40)
Coronas junior(4.5x36)
Regalias (5x42) to name a few.

I had the petit Cazadores and they were good cheapie.

Another vote for the H. Upmann Regalias. And with a couple of years on them they get really good.

Looking to give the H. Upmann Epicures a try as I've heard some good things about them.

I know the partagas Super Coronas, Habaneros, Aristocrats, petit coronas extras & Mille Fleurs have a following.

I know there are also guys out there that like Quinteros as a daily cheapie smoke.

+1, They are one of my favorite "cheapie" cigars. Age well, very good flavor. Had one last week from SEP '11 and it was a great stick.

What about ones from this year are they smokable fresh I think it's going to be these or the PLP

Partagas Shorts - ~$125/25.

Rafael Gonzales Perlas ~ $115 - $120/box. A true Perla (4x40) that is well made and has a lot going on for such a small stick. Medium bodied, nice complexity and construction. Definitely a good winter-time smoke.

Not 100% on FRESH, FRESH ones but just over a year is still pretty fresh so I cant see why they wouldnt be just as good

 

[Zen Smoker222]

Awesome thanks Gavin and everyone

Partagas Shorts - ~$125/25.

We have a winner! But just get a cab!!!!!!

 

[Zen Smoker222]

Yeah the one short I have had was super good!!!

 

[Knickerbocker]

Jose L. Piedra Cazadores are where it's at. If you wanna go a bit more expensive get Parti Shorts
