Por Larranaga Petite Corona is so good and budget friendly.

Both RASS and PSD4 can be had for under $8 a stick

Epicure No 1 or 2, RASS, QDO Coronas and if you can find them... PL Picadores

Thank you! I am going to research these!

Vegueros - always forgotten, but solid budget stick

Define cheap? Under $10? Under $5? $3?

The majority of budget-minded CCs are going to be smaller vitolas, munutos and PCs. There's a wide world of them, and prices range from $80/box on sale to a lot more, just depending on what you're trying to work with. A few perennial favorites in the $4-5 range are:
-Bolivar Coronas Junior/Petit Coronas
-Partagas Shorts
-Monte 4/5
-San Cristobal El Principe
-Por Larranaga Petit Coronas

Jon has a great recommendation with the Vegueros, too. Larger rg, still relatively small sticks, but affordable and tasty.

If you're thinking in the $2-3 range, there's only a couple options, Quintero and Jose L Piedra. Both are mediocre, but smokeable.

As always, YMMV.

Id recommend that you spend a bit more and go with larger cigars. In the $7-$8 range you can score Juan Lopez No 1s, H Upmann Conny 1s, Punch Punch, Bolivar Royal Coronas, Romeo y Julieta Exhibicion no 4s or Partagas Serie D no 4. Those are all corona gordas, hermosos no 4 or robustos and represent great cigars in solid prices ranges that will last around 1.5 hours and are available at almost all retailers. While there is nothing wrong with some of the other choices mentioned at all and I do have many of them in my own personal stock its prudent to mention that a Partagas Short, while great, is a 45ish minute smoke at a slow pace.

OK this is good to know. We were thinking along the lines of 8-10$. Unfortunately, no places take MC for some reason.

Nope, gotta have a Visa if you wanna get in the game.

What's cheap? dollarwise?

Keep up, Ara!

Given the price range, I would take Cass' (@Master Shake) advice.

To my mind, those aren't budget sticks, that's why I asked.

I don't need to keep up. You guys need to keep up with me.

I agree.Budget stick to me is $3-5, not $8+.

Juan Lopez #1 or #2 are very reasonable in price and very good cigars to boot IMHO.
