Update I want to see more lists. I also decided the box price before shipping is more appropriate because when you refer to a "$5 retail cigar" you aren't including tax, which almost always amounts to more than shipping when boxes of cigars are involved. I updated my favorites already since starting this thread.

One of the most common threads that pops up on the cigar forums I read are requests for "best bargain" or "everyday smoke" preferences. Of course given such a vague request the replies vary from dog rockets to $10 cigars.

I think a better way of asking this repeat question is as follows:
Please name your favorite cigars priced at or under $1,$2,$3,$4, $5......(one at each price)
This is the "by the box" price that is consistantly available and not cigarbid bargains or moonlight madness deals. One dollar to Five dollars is a nice place to start, but by all means go higher if you wish. I would also ask that the list not include ISOMs.

Here is my current list:
$1) Bolivar Fuerte Petit Bolivar Maduro
$2) Sancho Panza Double Maduro Quxiote
$3) Padron 2000 Maduro
$4) Fuente Hemmingway Short Story
$5) CAO Brazilia Gol

Please add to this thread with your favorites as I think many of us will benefit from sharing this knowledge.

Thanks!

$2 Punch Rothchild Mad Mad
$3 Punch After Dinner Mad
$4 AF Sungrown Chateau
$5 Monte #5
 
Ok, a more serious answer..

$1 - JL Piedra Cremas
$2 - Quintero Brevas
$3 - Piedra Cremas + Q. Brevas? :p I don't know what to put here.
$4 - Partagas Super Partagas
$5 - Punch Petit Coronations
 
I guess I am a bit of a "snob" as I don't buy cigars under $5. Not that they are "bad" I would just rather buy one REALLY good $6-10 cigar than two $3-5 cigars. I only smoke 3-4 cigars max per week as it is - may as well be the best I can find! :p
 
I'll play!...

Under $2 - Bolivar Fuerte Petite
Under $3 - Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte Cordoba
Under $4 - Arturo Fuente Sun Grown Chateau Fuente & Gran Habano Corojo #5 Robusto
Under $5 - Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 Silver Corona Grande
Under $6 - Rocky Patel Sun Grown Robusto
Under $7 - Rocky Patel Vintage 1992 Robusto
Under $8 - La Gloria Cubana Serie R #7
Under $9 - Ashton Cabinet VSG Corona Gorda

Everytime I buy a $6-$10 cigar, I think of the money I would have saved if I bought a Padron 2000 for less than $4. The flavor IMHO is usually better and it is the most consistant cigar I've had yet for the money.

My List
$1 Macanudo Maduro Ascots (Lunchtime)
$2 Consuegra (just bought a bundle of these)
$3 Padron 2000 (my everyday smoke)
$4 EDRM Robusto Oscuro
$5 RP Edge Maduro (Any)
