Best Budget/Hidden Gem Sticks (Under £20)

[Cigar_Addict]

What's the estimate? 200 pairs of hands touch each cigar in the production process?

I just think it's not necessary and is annoying to take the cigar out. Looks rubbish too.

Well, when you say it like that 🤣

WHen dealing with Vintage Cuban machine mades, I'll always prefer the cello versions. Seems to concentrate teh flav & it's lovely to see the oils, staining the cello yellow.

I am ambivalent on cello. Sometimes it's nice to handle cello cigars and not have to worry so much, but yes, it does look a bit tacky

Great, thanks. This is exactly the aim of this post. A way to help me try to fast track my way to decent, more affordable smokes

Shout me when you get PMs if you wanna try a Short Story, we can work something out

Very much appreciated. Are they the ones that are 'in store only' from CGars?

Looks like it, no idea why that is! Can get them plenty places online tbh

The reason they gave was to try to control supply better as they’d sell out quicker if sold online

I might get flamed for this, but the Factory Smokes range are a really good (IMVHO) "budget range". Not as keen as the sweet as on the plain, but well worth a go.

I had them on my short list, so will definitely order one to try out, thanks 👌🏼

Yes. I wasn't expecting much but I was surprised at how nice they were for an everyday smoke.

In fact I have just realised I have none to hand.

My BIL is a big fan. Not me.

Looking at current uk stock & prices I would offer the Partagas Short as one of if not the best cigar for £20

I've heard that cello is supposed to make humidifying slower?
