Best Value/Most Underrated Cigars

[CaptainSaint]

Hi all,

In an effort to restock my humidor I went out and purchased a CAO Champion Sampler and an assorted 90+ rated sampler from Atlantic Cigar.

I know all of our palettes and opinions will vary but as what have you tried and think is a great value smoke. Interested in all your responses!

**Edit- I know there is a discussion on budget sticks but I am more interested in the value (like you felt like you got your moneys worth) whether the cigar was $15 or $5.

Mods if you feel that this is more or less the same feel free to close the thread.

I think the best value cigar is the Undercrown lineup especially if you get them on Moster. They get pretty good ratings here so I wouldn't call them underrated, just a great cigar for the price you can get them for and I would pay more if I had to. One of my go to smokes.

For me right now it's the Caldwell Sevillana. You can pick up a box of 10 churchill for around $45.

I would vote for the Gurkha War Pig and Gran Habano Azteca Fuerte if you get them on Cbid. The La Aurora Barrel Aged and Partagas Serie D(Cuban) also top that list.

I almost forgot the La Jugada Prieto. I paid $10 at a b&m and would buy a box at that price if my budget allowed.

Tatuaje Tattoo and the Tatuaje Havana VI are some of the best sticks for the money at around $5-6.
I also think some of the My Father cigars such as the Le bijou are some really good smokes for the money.

Just to clarify, all of these are not just good values but very good, if not close to excellent sticks At $4-7 each other than wet packs. Call me a snob but I wouldn't smoke most of the stuff people consider budget smokes because better cigars can be had for about the same price.

It's not snobbery, you've just built yourself a palette that enjoys higher quality tobacco.

Aj Fernandez has excellent value line sticks in the Diesel, MOW that are consistent and pretty damn tasty for what they can be had at. He also has phenomenal sticks that fall in the 4-7 range (New World, San Latano Oval) in my opinion, right now he offers the best overall value for your money.

You beat me to the punch here. I think AJ easily is the best value in the market. La herencia cubana oscuro. Pretty tasty smoke for $2-3. Same thing can be easily said about MoW and diesel. The Armada was probably the only smoke that while good, was a joke at $20. I'm yet to find an AJ blend that I truly hated.

my next value 5 ers will be diesel and nubs

I gotta also plug the Caldwell JV stuff... The Sevillana, Murcias, & my favorite, the Gibraltar Perfecto are all fantastic bargains.

La Perla Habana Black Pearl Morado is a really good cigar and can be had for $2-3 a cigar

Agree. Its well worth the price. I would also add the LPH Rojo.

Used to be able to get Torano Exodus line for $3 per, on auction. Another great value, especially the Silver

Almost anything Fuente makes (the regular lines) is good value to me.
