So, IYO, what are the best "bargain" Habanos? Let's say...under $150 as a benchmark and nothing smaller than a PC/CJ (ruling out cigarillo or tinned cigars).

Help out us severely budget-restricted smokers! :)

I completely agree with the R&J Exh 4 Rich. Have yet to try out the RASS in humi, but the one R&J Exh4 I had was an absolutely wonderful cigar and is very near the top of my list.

I strongly believe one of the BEST bangs for the buck out there (as well as being an awesome tasting cigar in its own right) - is the Sancho Panza Belicoso !.....

Do some shopping around and you will be able to find they are right at your price target ----- I am 1/2 way through an OCT 01 now as I write this - what a DELICIOUS stick!!!!!

i love these - Romeo Y Julieta - Coronitas En Cedros - $84

Thin cigar, but very nice. Pretty strong for a little guy.

Of course a few of these can only be had for <$150 when purchased in 50 cabs ... and when a certain vendor has them on sale. But at that price, you can't pass them up.

Very cool. Many of these have already been on my list, but there's quite a few I had overlooked.

Going to be making extensive use of this list towards the end of the year if I can save up enough money! LOL

Gotta fill that Coller-ador up, right? ; )

For the size/quality ratio to price, The Fonseca #1 is the best handmade value in my book. It is a bit on the mild size, but more flavorful than other Fonsecas.

Although on the thin side, Quintero Brevas is one of my favs, regardless of price. IMO, lots of complex flavors, good OTT if you like them strong.
