Best Budget Cigars

Cigars have been around for centuries and have been enjoyed by many different cultures. Cigar smoking is not just for the wealthy anymore. There are many affordable, high-quality cigars on the market that won’t break the bank. There are many different types of cigars, and the best budget cigars are those that offer a great smoking experience without breaking the bank. There are many factors to consider when choosing the best budget cigars. The type of tobacco, the size of the cigar, and the country of origin are all important factors. In this article, we will recommend five of the best budget cigars that are sure to please any smoker.

Arturo Fuente Double Chateau Maduro

The Chateau series provides a steady burn and a smooth, tight draw while being a cheap cigar. Although certain cigars in the Chateau line require either one or two touch-ups while being smoked, this seldom detracts from the flavor of the smoke.

In particular, with the bigger sizes, such as the Royale Salute and King T, the ash may sometimes be flaky. The smaller varieties, such as Belicoso and Queen B, maintain their ash exceptionally well. Even the lesser sizes might result in a one-and-a-half-hour smoke because of the sluggish burn.

The medium-bodied cigars of the Chateau brand have a rich taste. The tip of the tongue is dominated by cedar, spicy, and woody overtones in the Fuente Chateau’s overall taste palette. Smooth, nutty, and espresso undertones linger till the subsequent pull. The Connecticut organic shade is used to encase cigars that seem to be light to medium in intensity.

This is a cigar that you can enjoy at any time of day since it is mild, smooth, and simple. The Ecuadorian sun-grown wrapper produces medium-bodied cigars. They often have a bigger taste palate, more heat, and a little more boom. The Maduro wrapper complements cigars that are mid to full-bodied and have a powerful taste and strength profile.

 Henry Clay Brevas

A vintage combination of Dominican filling and binding tobaccos is encased in a robust, dark-brown Connecticut Broadleaf wrapping. The wrapping of this budget cigar has a little glitter and is pointy, greasy, and rough. The wrapping leaf seems to have a sweetness that is evocative of the chewing tobacco some old folks used to bite on and pre-light scents of dark chocolate and wood. With undertones of leather, dark coffee, and sun-dried fruits, the cool draw gives the blend depth.

Henry Clay Brevas gets off to a fast start! The moment we fire it on, aromas of chocolate, leather, and black pepper start to emerge. We detect a sweetness reminiscent of candied apples when the tobaccos heat up. There is plenty of sweetness and hardly any spice in the initial inch. Although it doesn’t reach the palate, a small amount of pepper rests on the lips. Retrohaling reveals the same sweet chewing tobacco aroma that we first detected.

Nub 358

There is absolutely no preventing Nub cigars from winning over both seasoned and novice connoisseurs. Not everyone prefers the short thick form, but many aficionados have been won over. If you’re looking for a big, laid-back handcrafted, have a look at Nub Connecticut. At Holt’s, nub cigars are virtually always on sale.

When you purchase a box, you may bag it at a cheap rate; however, you can purchase them starting at about $7 per single. A blend of smooth Nicaraguan tobaccos is enclosed in a glistening Ecuadorian-grown Connecticut-seed wrapper that was put together at the Oliva facility in Estel, Nicaragua. Cedar, buttered toast, and almonds make together a premium profile that bestows a little spiciness on the tongue.

La Finca Joyas

We thought this cheap cigar looked quite good at first look through the packaging. We removed it from the sleeve and gave it a little handling, which confirmed my initial opinion. The wrapping was a uniform shade of tattered leather from head to toe. At the halfway mark, we discovered a solitary patch that matched the color of the wrapper and was hard to spot without searching. It was obvious from its light wrinkled appearance. We discovered that the wrapping leaf had a sandy-like feel while touching it. The cigar felt strong and densely compacted with tobacco upon being pinched.

After a brief light, our La Finca was evenly lit and emitting thick smoke. The first word that comes to mind when smoking the cigar’s first section is quick.  This cigar has a quick burst that doesn’t appear to grow unpleasant or hot, but it certainly caught our attention. We only smoked for fifteen minutes before producing ash that was nearly one inch long. Even the burn area was indeed little and generated hard white ash. This budget cigar was in the midrange and left our palate feeling just a little bit dry.

 Montesino Diplomatico Natura

For a cheap cigar, the pre-light draw was excellent, and the wrapper had a faint sweetness that immediately caught our curiosity. We were a little concerned by the initial pulls’ cedar and floral aromas since we don’t particularly enjoy cedar aromas.

From around a one-inch point, the cedar tones disappeared and were replaced by an increase in the cocoa aromas from a Fuente-rolled Maduro. Hard and somewhat white ash is left behind after a fairly straight burn. The familiar “Fuente ripple” was one thing we were expecting to observe but did not.

Without even a touch of harshness, the aromas were constant and delightful throughout all the cheap cigars. We were given a suggestion to try this cigar after stating our appreciation for the reasonably priced La Finca Joyas. Judging on the La Finca Joyas, the burn and tastes met and even exceeded our expectations, and Montesino’s structure was unquestionably better.

 Conclusion

The cigar world is full of amazing cigars at good price points. Whether you are looking for a budget cigar to enjoy with a great meal or it may be best to smoke them alone, the cigar world is a great place to find its unique experience. You can get smooth smoky smoke without emptying your pocket. They are affordable, convenient, and get the job done.
