Best Budget/Hidden Gem Sticks (Under £30)

[Cigar_Addict]

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 are hidden gems

Please add your findings, old or new

Edit: Hidden Gems opposed to 'every day smokes'

£30 cigars aren’t ‘every day smokes’ for me. I realise prices have shot up but they’d be occasional treats at that price point.

I've done another thread for Under £20, but I'm with you on the price point. I might change the thread titles to 'Hidden Gems' or something? I wouldn't mind paying a certain price if they are REALLY decent sticks

Are we talking UK prices here?

I guess preferably yes, but welcome to suggestions to look out for when travelling

I've heard good things about Plasencia cigars and there seem to be plenty available at this price point..

Best thing to do is find a cigar you want try then Google as I’ve found loads new shops never heard of before that way. Cgars are expensive but they will price match.

smoke-king.co.uk is a good site with quick delivery
cigarsofcuba.co.uk

I have a Oliva Serie V Double Robusto (£22) and a Plasencia Cosecha 149 (£18.95) in the basket to try out next

[Stevieboy]

Both excellent. Great choices
