Twitter Poll: Best Value Smoke
Last week I posted a quick question on Twitter asking what cigar everyone though was the best value, or bang for your buck. The responses were great and brought a few cigars to mind that I haven’t had in some time.
The Results:
@dcamacho: Padron! The 2000 is a fantastic smoke and its 3/4 dollars at my local B&M!
@click2riff: I really enjoyed the Padilla Hybrid too once upon a time!
@TomMclovin: I’m goin with the Oliva Serie V for now
@BrianHewitt: El Cobre! El Cobre! Beware the El Cobre, it lingers in the tall grass and bites just for fun!
@Dan360Man: i like the black cat prive rouge and the flor de oliva

Totally agree with Padron 2000. Camacho Havano H2 might be a good value cigar for those who like the kind of flavor it packs.
Flor De Oliva bundle cigars, with the red white & blue bands, are excellent and extremely inexpensive.
I have to agree on the Flor de Oliva’s. The Natural is kind of my go to mild cigar right now and I’m really digging the Corojos.
I’m been going to Famous Nic 3000 or Nic Corojos lately. La Tradicion Cubana is hard to beat on the lighter side.
Sancho Panza Double Maduro would have to be my value smoke. It’s isn’t complex but it’s great.
I think that the padrons are OK, but not really a value.
To me the better value smoke would be Mayorga, another fine nic.
Of course like all of my cigars I age them first.
Well now I guess I finally HAVE to sign up for Twitter! haha
i gotta try that Flor De Oliva, sounds good.
feel free to folow me too @dcamacho
I have to add Gispert and Henry Clay to this fine list of smokes forming. I agree 100% with the Flor de Oliva and I’ve been wanting to try Mayorga.
The last Mayorga I had really didn’t impress me much.
on the NC side, definitely the Padron regular series or the Oliva serie O
on the Cuban side, the JLP line
I have to say Oliva series G cameroon Churchills… about 4 bucks a stick, and around medium body. I think they are a great anytime smoke.
I’ll echo the Flor de Oliva recommendation. The Maduro in Toro & Robusto are an excellent value for a great tasting cigar.
I’d like to add the Maria Mancini and my recent review of the Famous Dominican 2000.
Drew Estate’s La Vieja Habana is probably one of the best smokes for the cheapest prices.
I agree with Sancho Panza, but currently prefer the Extra-Fuerte to the Double Maduro. But both are incredible values. Second choice is Oliva Serie G.
