So we know what you thought was a waste of coin...what do you think was the best value cigar NC and CC you have had this year?

CC would be Partagas Habanero (very good, price/flavor profile is outstanding)

NC would be Perdomo ESV 91 conny seconds (yeah I said it Perdomo, these are the only ones I really like)


What say YOU?

The best bargain smoke for me this year was the Famous Nicaraguan 3000.... yet again. These are consistently great.

Honorable mention:

Benchmade
My Father Le Bijou Petite Robusto
Corona Cigar Co. 10th Anni


As far as CC goes, it's hard to beat the Super Partagas.

The best bang for the buck so far for me have been the Punch RS11's. Unlike the other sale sticks I've picked up, I've had a wonderful experience with every single one. Worth every penny.

Never had a Super Partaga or an RS11...gotta look them up!

Really????:-) Anyoen have the cookie monsters addy?

PL Panatela. A tasty little smoke not many folks smoke or talk about. About $2-$3/stick when you can find them.
[Reply]

NC... hmm... would it be passe to say Oliva Serie V Double Toro? Or, maybe El Baton?

For CC, some great price/performance can be had with the non-tubo Boli RCs. Same goes for RASS.

For me its the 06 box of Romeo y Julieta Petit Julietas and PL P's I picked up. very tasty sticks.
[Reply]

Both the montecarlos and the panatelas are fantastic :-)

:-)

Gotta agree with Ben, Peter and Christos PL makes some tasty, inexpensive sticks.

Id like to add CC Punch Double Corona from the sales. These are some of my favorite sticks with a little time to dry out. At the price they really couldnt be beaten.

Couldnt fairly nominate a NC bargain cigar.

NC = Brick House hands down!!!(IMHO):-)

As far as NC's go I would have to say:

Cigar.com Corojo label's are great and cheap enough you don't have to worry about who you pass them too.
and the Benchmade.

For CC's I wouldn't be able to tell, still only dipping my feet in the CC pool but I do love the Party shorts I picked up. :-)

Whenever I smoke with friends, there are 2 cigars they I hand out that have ALWAYS--I mean every time--received rave reviews:

I'm with Eric on the Perdomo ESV '91 (or seconds) ... amazingly yummy and every time I smoke one I can't help but feel like I ripped someone off with how cheap it was! Mild-medium-bodied and perfect for the beginner or the pro.

Tied for 1st would be the Padilla 1932. These used to be $10, now they are half that or less. Incredibly great cigars, and I also have that "I seriously STOLE these suckers!" feeling whenever I smoke one. This one is close to full-strength by the end, so I only give this to guys that really smoke cigars.

Only NC here, but for nc I would have to say Nica Libre. For under 2 bucks a stick (not hard to do) it's just a amazing deal.
