  • Best Budget/Hidden Gem Sticks (Under £20)

    I hope this section will get well used. As the price of cigars is quite high, there is (for me anyway) a search for cheaper sticks that can be classed as every day smokes.

    Please add your findings, old or new

    So I'll get started..

    Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Robusto

    Price when posted £18.49 (actually bought for £16.99)

    As long as these stay under £20 I'll buy them again

      £20 is still a decent budget for cigars in the UK. I don't think you're going to get any Cuban Robusto's for that anymore but there's still plenty of options.

      Hang around and keep contributing. Once you have PM's there's the COTM and always things popping up from other members.

        I think an easy add for me would be the Arturo Fuente Hemingway Shory Story. Even with UK taxes it can be found for around £13-15, and always well under £20.

        A smaller stick, but still provides a great experience with excellent flavour and construction.

          I think I have a month left for PM's to be available, but looking forward to the COTM

            I'd recommend a few from Jose L Piedra - Petit Caballeros and Petit Cazadores & from Quintero - Favoritos and Petit Quinteros. Good value budget Cubans. The Petits in particular can become real gems with a bit age on them.

            Vegueros Mañanitas are another I'd recommend. Quite a unique size, being a small piramides shape.

              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

                I am 100% with you on the Mananitas. They punch well above their weight - would snag a tin in duty free without a second thought.

                  wonder if I can pay a bit extra and have them remove the darn cello. Or a bit less and them not bother putting them in cello!

                    Cuban Cigars in the UK are rather limited at today's prices but these are taken from Cgars site so possible to find a little cheaper elsewhere:

                    ERDM DT
                    HUHC & Majestic
                    Hoyo Du Marie & Du Depute
                    JLP's, if there are to your taste.
                    Monte No5 & MC
                    PL Monntecarlo & PC (Close shop around).
                    RG Perlas
                    R& J Julietas

                      The PL Montecarlo is a great suggestion Simon.

                        You all have such a vast knowledge of these things it's almost like a second language

                          What’s the issue with cello? I heard on a podcast that American market demands it so they know the stick hasn’t been handled prior & also to protect it

                            That's some decent logic no?

                              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.
