Inflation Proof Pleasures: How Cigars Beat The Market with Exciting New Blends 

For me....and this is just my opinion...I like about $5-$8 for a weeknight cigar. $10-$12 for a Friday night/weekend cigar, and $15+ for a special occasion. Depending on the occasion it may differ. Personally, I love Perdomo! If you've never had one, I highly recommend giving one a try!

If im going to the cigar lounge, i prefer to keep it in the $10-20 range. For a daily smoke at the house, i prefer the $5-10 zone

Man I love your video reviews and the lives. New to cigars and have been going through all your videos for the past month.

My economy smoke is drew estate factory maduro. Usually less than $2 a stick and good when you’re smoking to for its own sake. $10-20 a stick is what I expect to pay when I go to a brick and mortar and ask the guy working the counter for a recommendation

For me, I seem to like a more affordable cigar between the 6-14 dollar range. Must be why I like Perdomo so much. Perdomo’s entire line, falls right in that exact range. And even at the low end of his range of cigars, quality is definitely not skimped on. All his cigars burn fantastic, with excellent flavors, and nice expected burn times for each vitola. If I want a special occasion cigar, I’ll reach for a Padrón 1926 Serie, or a 45 year, or for my birthday I try to seek out the 80 year, since that was Jóse Orlando Padrón’s 80th birthday cigar. But that’s just my 2 cents. Everyone likes what they like. That’s what’s amazing about cigars. There’s literally something for everyone.

I mostly buy online now. On sale including free shipping. I buy nice cigars for 5 or 6 bucks. For a bit nicer cigar, I'll pay 10 bucks

I enjoy cigars in EVERY price range. I’ve done well and have a vast collection. I gotta tell you, EVERY price range excites me. There’s good and bad cigars at every price like anything else. Cars, restaurants, clothes, everything. Even in income segments. Poor people can be great friends or complete jerks, same with rich people. Just keep buying and keep exploring, acknowledge price but don’t get hung up on it. Just make sure you identify why the cigar was made and when you should smoke it. I’ve found that having expensive cigars on hand makes my less expensive ones taste better. No one wants to feel like they’re smoking cheap stuff cause they have to. Buy some high priced sticks to get rid of the mystery.

Been a waiting on a review on both of these. I wanted to buy them when they came out last week but didn’t pull the trigger. I’ll be buying a fiver of each soon. You have a great shop too. Keep up the good work.

I F’n love cigars! Thanks for all you do for this industry! I buy a lot of cigars from you and you guys do a great job.

Great video. Thank you.

Your enthusiasm is great, thanks. Perdomo Rocks!!

As a pretty new cigar smoker, who doesn't smoke anything else... I truly appreciate your honest.opinions on budget friendly cigars that aren't crap. It can get pricey trying to learn what you like best. Aligning cigar flavor notes with my preferred whiskey flavor notes has also helped.

That's cool thanks 🙏

Being retired it’s becoming difficult to enjoy the same pleasures as I used to. So, I find myself smoking your Drew Estate Factorys, Rico Baratos, and drinking Wild Turkey 101. (Nothing over $5.00) Please don’t kick me out of Cigars Daily 🙈

I wanna smoke between $4-$8 a stick. That's economic price to get premium in my opinion to not short the companies, Average shmo here and need affordability... to endure this theraputic ritual. thanks for the chat . Cheers, now ill.continue watching smokin on an Ava Maria reconquista... a pricey stick...($10) but worth it. Keep talkin Tim I love it 🍻

Don Pepin Cuban Classics and Don Pepin Vegas Cubanas. That and Nica Rustica Broadleaf. For the price, can't beat the quality on those.

Chillin Moose all the way!

Personally, for a budget smoke I like the Punch Classico or Punch Knucklebuster, both especially in Maduro. I just got a 5 pack of Knucklebuster Maduros in the Robusto vitola for $17, so less than $4 per stick. For an all long filler 3 country blend. To me that's pretty tough to beat. I try to only smoke on weekends or special occasions so my typical weekend stick will be a Macanudo Inspirado ( so far I love the whole line apart from the Red), which you can find in 5 packs for $7 to $7.50, or sometimes a Fuente 858 Maduro, which can usually be had at a brick and mortar store for around $7.50. So far if I want to spend over $10 for something special that'd be a La Flor Dominicana for me or a JC Newman Diamond Crown. Those are 2 cigars over $10 that I think can actually justify their price tag. Or if you really want to splurge, the Davidoff Signiture ($16 and that was for a petite corona) was the most expensive cigar I've tried that I'd buy again... though you can see I kind of tend towards older Dominican brands over Nicaraguan, so my taste may not work for everyone. On the opposite end of the spectrum, if I could only afford say $2 per stick, I like Quorum cigars. Hon mentions for under $10 go to La Aroma De Cuba (Don't sleep on them they're blended by the Garcia Family and made in the My Father factory for under $10), and the Perla Del Mar line (I think they ran me about $6 each at a brick and mortar all 3 wrappers were good imo).

Hi Tim, enjoying a simple "Gran Habano" Connecticut leaf right now, good stuff.

Asylum 13 connecticut is a budget cigar that i love. Its a nicotine bomb but i love it for when you want that and when you have a couple hours to smoke

For me, as a guy currently in church ministry 😂 my range of cigars is $4-10 a stick. My daily smoke is Flor de Oliva ($4). A step up from that, say, a Friday night stick, is the Curivari Buenaventura BV560, around $6. I also enjoy the very occasional $10 stick from Don Pepin Garcia, My Father, or Crowned Heads. I appreciate the video, and all the recommendations for cigars in that price range. Keep up the good work!

Cheapest "weeknight" cigar in UK is about £17 to 20.A "good weekender" from £30 to 50 and a "special" from £50 to a hundred.Thank goodness for mom's legacy and a forgotten pension I had🙏

I usually shop for cigars that are in the $8-$12 range. Most of my sticks fall in that range, but I do thoroughly enjoy others that are more expensive. Two of my favorites, the Undercrown 10 and the Plasencia Alma Fuerte, are over $15 each, but those cigars that I will spend the money on... just maybe not a box or anything like that. I've also been very fortunate to get cigar bombs every few months from my father-in-law, so free is always the best.... especially when he throws in a couple Cohiba Blacks!

Hard to base quality to price in Canada. My yard smokes are W&D Presedente’s and in a B&M you’re looking at $11-13. For a really nice flavor I’m usually looking at $20-25.

10 or under for daily smoke. 10-20 for whisky weekends. That's always been my standard. My brands nave have changed but not my price range.

My go to "budget" cigars are the Factory Smokes and Fol de Olivia. Mid range would be a New World or My Father. Premium would be a Padron, Perdomo, A J Fernandez.

I guess it is fitting that I happen to be smoking one of the cigars he pointed out in this video. The Nica Bustica😊

Jose L. Piedra Cremas $4.18 Canadian a stick, Jose L. Piedra Petit Cetros, Cazadores, Conserva and other range $4 to $6. Enjoy them all. Love the Cremas.

Micallef Black Label is a good budget stick for me. Nica Rustica was at one time but I haven't had one in quite awhile. Micallef is highly underrated and over looked. Charter Oak, West Tampa Red are a couple others under 10 bucks I frequent. I usually hover in the $13-$17 range tho.

8-10 daily 10-15 weekend 20 top for me for a special occasion

I think it’s awesome that he to college for Church Ministry also my favorite go to cigar for a budget is JM’s

7:10 😂 love it

I'm constantly looking for sales of the brands/models I like best and will grab several when I find them. I love finding a Olvia melanio on sale for 5-8 bucks a stick. But I also will grab a few of this and that searching for others I like and something at a good price. Just found a deal on a 10 pack sampler of Chillin Moose a few weeks ago. $30 something bucks for 10 6x60's. What I've had so far was very good. I'll purchase more of them for sure.

I probably shouldn't share this (because it's like shooting yourself in the food LOL) but Ramon Bueso cigars are phenomenal for the price. The genesis series are top notch. Especially the Olancho and the Habano. I really love the genesis project as well. They are super affordable but dang it, don't ya'll go buying them up now! haha!!!

I like cigars that are about $12 and below. Every now and then, I'll get one that is around $15. CAO, Rocky Patel, and Diesel are some of my top!

I’ve found a ton of great cigars for between $5 to $14 bucks !

The Guardian of the Farm Apollo is usually about 8.50 a stick (much less if you find sales). For what you get, I think that's a pretty fair/cheap price.

Would've been nice to get his flavor opinion on the Oscuro. I buy and save my premium smokes. But enjoy Chillin Moose (their Bull Moose maduro is good) and Gurkha as a daily. Would love to add another to keep it fun.

The Judge by Jesus Fuego is an excellent budget cigar. It’s a Maduro full bodied cigar. I can only find them at famous smoke shop. They are about $3.50 each. I smoke a lot of them. Great flavor, and except for the very occasional tight draw, great construction. I wish cigars daily would carry them.

Smoke what you want is all that matters ❤

Gran Habano vintage 2002

Drew Estate - Isla Del Sol used to be around 5 bucks a stick not sure what it is now haven't bought in quite a while.

Can get some deals on Oliva Master Blends 3. $4.50 a stick or $90 for a box of 20 of varying sizes. Has been my daily/discount stick since I started smoking. I swear it has some salted caramel notes. Great with coffee.

So far I have not spent more than 16.00 on a cigar. I am new at this and I buy what I want to try. Perdomo 10th anniversary champagne and Chillin Moose have the only ones I have purchased more than once.

$3 is my kinda stick for daily. But I do light up a $10 for special occasions or long days

How many Tabak fans here. ?? Thats my fav.

I only buy online and will look for the best prices. Who has the best price and good customer service will win my money. At 20 a stick I can get LFD bulls sometimes even cheaper.

I just happened to buy a lifetime supply of cigars prior to Covid and Biden. Occasionally, I'll buy something newer in the cigar industry. I'd say that the value of my cigar collection has easily doubled, if not tripled. Perhaps some of my cigars are now considered as collectibles. 😊

As someone that kinda still new to cigars (and lives in Australia), you really can't tell a good quality cigar based on price here. The biggest factor of cigar price is tax, and because that tax is based on grams of tobacco and tax is extremely high, you really can't bet on an expensive cigar being any good at all. The price difference between good quality cigars and a cheap cigar here is insignificant is comparison to the crazy amount of tax on them. It sucks! When you might call a $5 cigar in America a cheap cigar, that's probably gonna be around $30 Aus.😢

Best cigar I've had hands down has got to be the Baccarat Dolce Far Neinte. It had a nutty, almost hazelnut flavour which left no bad after taste. Works very well with coffee.

Gurkha prize fighter cigars for the daily enjoy and for the occasional cigar I spend between 10-20$

One more thing. If ditching fancy bands and boxes lowers price I would be fine with that change.

What ministry did you get into and did you abandon your faith? If so why? I am a devout christian who greatly enjoys Cigars. God bless you Tim

$8-12 a stick is a range I like, but if I'm buying a few at a time, I might buy one at $16 and another at $6 or $7, and it kinda averages out with a little bit of girl math.

Cheaper than a gas a gallon 🤣

For me no more then $15 is a good deal...i need to try the Hoyo

My definition "Budget" - 16

Any A.J Fernandez cigar very affordable full of flavor

Perdomo Fresco Flor de Oliva

YO YOOOOOOOOI

The cigars I bought for $8 15 years ago are $15+ today. I'm retired now and finding good smokes under $3 (bundle price) online--2nds, knockoffs, sales, etc. I'm not going to get specific. If I did all you guys would start buying them and drive my price up 🤪😂😱😭

10 TO 15

ACID Blondie Maduro!

👏

I like to spend $8-$11 for a good cigar.

I dont smoke often but when i do its a padron

You guys in the US have no idea how Little you pay for cigars compared to us here in Europe. In the UK one would spend £15- £28 for the same item you pay $10/$12 for in the US. Oliva series V series is roughly £30 as an example.

I like expensive cigars. I like cheap cigars. I like cigars.

AJ Fernandez has some of the highest quality cigars in the 6-9 dollar range.

CAO AMERICKA

7 to 10 with 13 to 15 for a splurge

$2.

Gosh! I would feel guilty spending $20 for a cigar. And I would smoke a $10 cigar only if it was given to me.

For me, an every day cigar should be $2.00 and a good one $6.00.

They need to find a machine that makes long filler cigars to bring the ridiculous prices down

Watching on a plane 😎

I'll go as far as 12 bucks a stick and limit to a 5-pack. When the sales hit I stock up.

$7.77

Tabacos baez

As a pastor, I relate. lol

A cigar isn’t great unless you can enjoy it with a bald cap teeth feller.😂 Blessings from Gettysburg Pa…

Smoke only your best cigars, life is short.

ONLY ONE HERE

Graycliff cigars offer great sticks at a very low price

lol

$3 because I smoke 3 a day
