Agreed, they are pricey but honestly the quality is unreal. Always a good, consistent smoke

 

Romeo y Julieta Cubans are my favorite because I had a friend in college who would bring them back by the box. Kick the tar our of most American or other Latin American cigar brands in my opinion.

Everything from Cuba in terms of cigars and rum is better than you can get in the states.

On the more affordable end, CAO flavors vanilla is amazing. I’m addicted to the smell of the cigar

 

True but there is a noticeable difference between a cheap cigar and a more premium cigar. I think at first I didn’t notice as much of a difference, but the more I smoked I noticed the difference a lot clearer. Now not all cheap cigars are bad though and not all expensive cigars are great. However some ultra premium cigars like cohiba cubans and davidoffs are quite something. Not sure if the price tag is always justified but definitely better than the average cigar

 

Try an Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Robusto or Double Robusto. Awesome smoke, pretty reasonable. About $10 - $15 a stick. Same tobacco as the Opus X, just a different wrapper. I actually prefer the Don Carlos wrapper (Cameroon - very flavorful and oily). Also the Pedron Anniversario 64 series is about as good as it gets. Nicaraguan so a little spicy but wonderful.
