Budget Cubans

[MrD4rcy]

Cheers to everyone for,advice and opinions

I smoked the Chinchalero Sportivo last night as it was the cheapest. First third was the first time I've found a cigar hard work. Terrible draw, next to no flavour or aroma. Middle third improved a lot in draw, flavour and aroma and last third was just passable. Won't bother with it again.

I like the "smoke less. smoke better" idea. Have a long list that should take the rest of the year to try out but tonight it's a Bolivar No. 2 with a white Russian or four while watching The Big Lebowski

Smoke the Boli next and you're going to be sooo disappointed with the rest

That sounds like a cracking way to spend the evening! I think it'll be a decent pairing as well could go either way though with the drink [emoji4]

I've had the chinchalero "nub" looking one can't remember what it's called but that was ok [emoji4]

I agree about the Chinchaleros, very good value, but not the most exciting cigars. The Inka range is very good for value too (but then I would say that, wouldn't I ;-) ). As far as Cubans go, I personally think the Upmann Majestics and RG Perlas are both amazing smokes that usually retail for under ?10.

[ValeTudoGuy]

Trinidad Reyes, ERDM Demi Tasse, Hoyo Du Maire, Jose L. Piedra Cazadores, Jose L. Piedra Conservas, Por Larranaga Petit Corona, Punch Margaritas, Ramon Allones Small Club Coronas, Romeo y Julieta Petit Princess, Romeo y Julieta Petit Julietas.

These are all Cubans I have enjoyed that are under ?10 UK, mind that some are very small cigars.... But that can be a good thing in my books.

My favorite budget Cubans are: Upmann Regalias and Epicures, RyJ Mille Fluers, Partagas Mille Fluers & Petit Coronas Esapecials, Quintero Brevas & Favoritos as well as Rafeal Gonzalas Perlas.

The new Quintero Favoritos are getting good things said about them and don't cost an arm and a leg, and so are the Rafael Gonzalez Perlas.

I've got some Favoritos on their way in the post right now. It'll be my first time. I am always wary about cheaper smokes lest the old adage "You get what you pay for" rears its ugly head! However I enjoy Fonesca cigars and yes even enjoyed a Guantanamera, I know it's hard to believe! Even now I favour the mid range cigars over the shiny "premium" sticks since more often than not the only premium most of them posses is all in the price!
I've smoked many a Fonseca that out did a Cohiba of similar vitola and age.

I adore the SLR Petit Coronas. snapped up a pack at ?35 when they were being sold off. Still some on Cgarsltd at ?45 and sorely tempted but resisting for financial reasons.

I have only had the Petit Cazadores but i must admit I thought it was a nice cigar for the price. A 25 bundle of these is only 45euro in Spain- well worth stocking the humi for that sort of money.

I like the Punch tres petit corona. It's a little over ?7 and was probably the best sub ?10 stick I've had so far. A bit on the strong side for a nicotine lightweight like me but it lasted me an hour and was very very nice.

Gonzalez Perlas are good I bought a load of them as an easybdaybsmoke.

[Pandyboy]

Partagas Chico. Best budget cuban. However is there such a thing as budget cuban in the UK?

Smoke less smoke better has been my motto from the start, wobbled occasionally & usually regretted it.
