Looking for some suggestions

[dscl]

I have some store credit with a local B&M and while I'm a DE solider at heart I do want to expand my palette a bit. I would like to keep suggestions under $10 MSRP and more around the $8 range if possible. (cheaper the sticks the more I can sample)

Here's what I smoke a lot of currently: Undercrown, CyB, Herrera Esteli, Tatuaje (various), My Father (various).

So any suggestions?

A few smokes that I have been enjoying lately:

Tat PL
Tat EL T Brown Label
LAT Maduro 44
La Palina Maduro
Illusione Epernay
Illusione Ultra
AF Anejo
EPC Short Run 2010

Here is a great Drew Estate smoke that will really stretch your cigar dollar............
And at $44.00 for a box of 20 and can be had for much cheaper if you hunt around.


La Vieja Habana Brazilian Maduro Chateau Corona's

give some of the "thousands" padrons a try (both natty and maddy)... super affordable.. but give a solid feel for what padron is all about..

and if you dig my father.. give some of don pepins other sticks a try... the 601 line is inexpensive and pretty well received by most..

Thanks for the advice so far everyone!

I almost pissed myself reading your sig line.

Don't mention Dave's sig line...don't make eye contact with it....just look straight ahead...

box of padron 2000 or londres maduro, and forget it for about a year.

illusione MKUltra while they're available.

cromagnon, IF they carry them (it's still few and far between that carries romacraft in a store).

as many fuente magR 44's as you can get. it's a 44ct box, but if you can swing it... o)

oliva V lance, stupid good for the money.

Padron Thousand Series, LFD Colorado Oscuro, Oliva V Maduro

Is the B&M a General/Altadis front? Good smattering of boutiques? Pretty hard to make suggestions without knowing what they might have.

Wider distribution:
Been seeing AF 858 Sun Grown popping up more places the last few months. If they have these, try a few, if you haven't already. Trust me on this one.
Illusione - Any. Especially the core lines.
LFD - If you're new to these, grab a few different ones. Wide range and you'll wide range of favorites. I love the DL Maddie Chisel/Chiselito. Many prefer Colorado - Others prefer Air Benders.

Narrower Distro.....man, so many .....hard to guess what they might carry. I would certainly try any RomaCraft if they have them. Room 101 has some good offerings in broad range of flavors.

Tiny distro---- try something new, local, shop exclusive.....except for the unbanded $3 house blends, I've found some great local offerings over the years

Try some of the Ezra Zion cigars. Really good sticks. I have been enjoying them a lot lately. Almost anything from AJ Fernandez, la Flor Dominicana, tats, Surrogates, etc. simply put, if you go to a good B&m and they know your flavor profile, ask them for some recommendations on some new stuff.

 

[UnBanded]

Try a few from Curivari.

 

[mjohop]

I'd give Rodrigo, Padron thousand series, La Aurora's 107 maduro, and some CLEs a try.

 

[Chrisso]

Illusione Rothchilds are great for low budge IMO.

Personally, I'd charge more for them little suckers.

Good luck!

As for cheaper 8 dollar range, I can not get enough of the plain Oliva V's.

It has replaced Undercrown as my go-to.

 

[Clint]

Henry Clay, especially the Brevas Finas...About $5/stick, and has been a consistent smoke for me for over 20 years!

 

[StogieNinja]

Oliva V, especially the #4 or lancero
Nica Rustica
DPG Blue
Illusione. Particularly the MK IMO, but I'm told the singulare is amazing as well. The "R" Rothschild is particularly good at the price point!
Any of the EPC stuff. I've really enjoyed their maduros
Anything RoMa Craft. I'm partial towards the Intemperance BAXXI line, but all of them have been good.

 

[CalixtoLopez]

Thunder by Nimish, H Upmann Legacy and Macanudo 1968 are three cigars that I think are overlooked and worth trying.

Nice picks. Good choice on the Illusione Rothschilds, V lanceros and Tramp Stamps. I'm sure they'll all be good though dude.
