Looking to buy 2-3 boxes, including a stock-up for vacation smoking. I really enjoy RASS and Bolivar. Looking for recommendations (including maybe brands not as well known as others) in the $5-10/stick range. Any thoughts?
How about for $10?$5 will get you a montecristo purito or cohiba short down under, nothing else.
Sorry, that just sucks....$10 will get you 2 cohiba shorts. Cheapest petit corona starts at $18AUD or $13.38USD for a tubo hoyo. A monte 4 is $22, a bolivar petit $24 a trinidad reyes $29 then you move up to the next size, all over $30. Just paid $55 for an upmann sir winston
If you think non cubans are cheaper, paid $50 for a padron 1926. A budget basement american robusto worth $3 will cost me $30+.
Mind you, these are all single prices.
You could get a monte 4 for maybe $14 if you imported a box from hong kong, wait 5 weeks at customs and end up with some dry dog turds but just not worth it these days.
