Best bargain stick

It's Sunday night and I just got back inside from hanging out on the deck with the dogs. I fired up a Flor de Oliva Natural Toro and it still did not disappoint. I don't know what it is about these, but I've yet to find anything that packs the same bang for the buck. I'll admit my taste buds are not that discriminating, but I stumbled onto these last year and I'm still pretty impressed with them, especially considering the price.

Anyone else have a bargain stick that they swear by?

I don't know if it can be considered a bargain because of its size, but I love the Brazilia Cariocas. They work out to about 1.75 a cigar and are great for 25-35 min.
 
My cheep go to cigar is the Cuban Leaf , from Tabacarlera Tropical, the torp.is in Bundles of 20 for about 48 Bucks , or a box of 50 for just over 80 Bucks less the discount for a box , they also make a Box of 100 called Factory Direct & they retail for 180 a box less discount , Great smoke , it comes in a maduro or Conn. wrapper but my favorite is the Sungrown Corojo 1999, Factory Direct , less than 2 bucks a stick when you get them in Boxes of 100 ! all long filler , great taste & a wonderful burn. Enjoy, Vince
 
Here are some that I really enjoy that are real inexpensive:
Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte Barcelona
Sancho Panza Double Maduro Cervantes
Indian Tabac Tomahawk
Indian Tabac Fire
Indian Tabac Extra Fuerte Maduro Toro
Any Maria Mancini
All of these are available for $60 or less per box/bundle and all taste fantastic.
 
Everyone knows my answer, the Cigar.com Cameroon label. A close 2nd is the Cuban label.
 
For a quick stick you can't beat the CAO cariocas, they are great. Flor de Oliva corojo is a great bundle stick. I also like the Sol Cubano's for a good inexpensive stick.

The Sol Cubano's are a slam-dunk. I saw a 20 sample pack of toros for $30 somewhere. They're worth 2-3 times that I'd say.
 
I'm with DD I've become a Sol Cubano junkie. The sumatra is the best, but I do like the conn. wrapper too.
 
ive been enjoying the camacho havanna at a little over 3 a stick locally.
 
I like the Cigar.com Red Label for an every day smoke.
Always consistent, has never let me down.
 
If we are talkign less than $3.00 a stick I would go with:

Sol Cubano Connecticut or Maduro
5 Vegas Classic or A
Cigar.com Cuban or Cameroon Label
 
My cigar shop has they're own blend that's rolled by camacho for about 1.25 a stick. I love those.
 
In regards to my first post in this thread, I just had a Magic Mountain Natural that was almost a year in my humidore. Tasted very strong, but smooth. As good as any other cigar that I have ever had in the under $3 price range. Paul

Alec Bradley Maduro, about $2.75 at my local and worth every cent.

I really like the Trilogy Native Cameroon by Alec Bradley. Excellent smoke for under $3.
 
Perdomo has a new stick available in bundles called the "Fresco" and it's a nice smoke for $2

They do better with some age...
