Best quality smoke?

[stroke]

Keeping in mind quality and price, what is the best cigar for the price in your opinion? Please note whether it's Full, Med, or Mild.

Hemmingway Short Story has always gotten my vote.

 

[G-Dub96]

For the price ya cant be the Oliva G Cameroon. I'd say its medium bodied.

Hemmingway Short Story has always gotten my vote.

The short story is an amazing cigar, without a doubt.

But I am going to have to go with the Padron 2000 Maduro, put a year or two on these bad boys... Almost as good as a '64 PAM... Almost! :stretchgr

Padron "1000's" maduro. That line is awesome. They are med to full.

I second that! Padron 2000 maduro, just over $3/piece by the box!


I haven't had one in 4 years, but the Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte Pamplona
(4.5 x 50) are just over $2/stick. I used to buy boxes when I lived by a B&M, and they were always dark, oily, and muy fuerte! The last time i had them I got a 5 pack from CI, and they were pale, dry, and nasty.

Hmm, tough question. While I like the short short I'm going to have to throw my vote to the Padron 2000 also. They have great flavor, age well, and have great construction.

For the money?

H Upmann (DR) Cameroon Robusto
HDM Excalibur Epicure
Tat Havana VI Angeles

All great medium bod smokes.

[Virtuoso]

Peach Swisher Sweet....

subjective on price. If you are good friends with you local tobacconist; then every-thing is a GREAT price.

 

[acquittal]

Oliva Serie V.

and if you don't have a local tobacconist you're outta luck

I was blown away by a 64 Padilla Solomon ever so kindly bombed to me by Scottywed......med-full profile and unbelieveable construction

 

[Simoun]

I'm gonna have to go with the majority: the medium-bodied Padrón series maduros with some time on them, esp. the 2000s, 3000s, and the churchills.

I also like the Gran Habano Corojo #5 Rothschilds (a robusto), also medium-bodied and priced at around the $5.00 range. They've got a nice spice to 'em.

 

[TheCigarKid]

Yep, Padron is always an option. It's basically my favorite brand as well. The quality control on the thousand series lately hasn't been the best, in appearance, but most have smoked perfectly in my experience. I usually would rather kick it up to a 1926 or 1964 for a few more bucks, most of the time.

Mild-medium: Perdomo ESV '91 -- can be found on sale for $3.50
Medium: Tatuaje Victorias -- on sale/auction around $4
Medium-full: Padilla 1932 -- on sale/ auction close to $4
Full: Man o' War Ruination -- on sale auction $5 or less

I very highly recommend all. Especially for the full-bodied fans, the Ruination is a great bargin!

 

[terrantheman]

AF Cuban Beli as the Hemi SS is a great smoke for the same price you get 3X's the cigar and I love some SG wrappers! And right now you can get these on special at CI for $108.95 for a box of 24 that's about $4.54 per stick...

CC SLR Regio at about $4.30 per stick
