Best Budget Cigars Brands

There are a lot of great cigars out there, but the best budget cigars brands tend to be a little different from the rest.

I’m talking about those companies that make high-quality stogies using some of the most expensive tobaccos in the world and sell them at prices that make it easy to smoke one every day without breaking your piggy bank.

What follows is my list of top picks for these types of smokes, along with information on what makes each one so special.

If you’re looking for something special to light up after dinner tonight (or tomorrow morning), this list will help you find it.

• Fuente Hemingway
• 

Fuente Hemingway is a Dominican puro that has been around since the early 1970s. It’s medium-bodied and sweet with a creamy taste and is wrapped in a dark brown wrapper.

The brand was named after the famous author, but don’t let that fool you: it’s not an overly complex cigar. These cigars are great for new smokers looking to branch out beyond the milder end of the spectrum.

• Aging Room M21
• 

Aging Room M21 is a fantastic cigar for the money. It mixes Dominican and Nicaraguan, so it has a nice balance between mild and medium body.

It has notes of coffee, cocoa, caramel, and spice on the palate that pair well with its earthy flavor profile. The consistency is excellent across all four sizes available (Robusto 5 x 50, Toro 6 x 52, Gordo 6 x 60, and Double Corona 7 1/2 x 54).

If you’re looking for a great everyday smoke in this price range and one that can also be aged to improve over time, the Aging Room M21 will be your best choice.

• Coronado by La Flor
• 

Coronado by La Flor is a cigar made in Nicaragua and named after the island of Coronado, located off the west coast of Mexico. It’s a medium-bodied cigar with a Connecticut shade wrapper and binder.

The blend contains Nicaraguan fillers from Jalapa, Ometepe, Esteli and an Ecuadorian Habano Ligero wrapper. The result is a sweet smoke with notes of cedar, earthiness, cocoa, and pepper.

This brand was introduced in 2012 as part of the La Flor Dominicana family to commemorate its 20th anniversary as one of America’s premier cigar brands.

This company was founded by Litto Gomez, who began selling his cigars from his garage when he moved back home from Miami Beach, where he sold Cuban cigars on weekends to help supplement his income as an electrical engineer at Florida Power & Light Company (FPL).

FPL eventually hired him full time which allowed him more opportunities for experimentation with tobacco blends while working nights at home making cigars during those years between 1979-1983 until he quit FPL completely so that he could start up La Flor Dominicana Cigars Company full-time with his wife Lilia Bautista who worked as a nurse during this period helping support them financially while they started their new business venture together.”

• San Cristobal Elegancia
• 

San Cristobal Elegancia is an excellent cigar for beginners and connoisseurs alike. This medium-bodied Nicaraguan puro has a beautiful box-pressed shape that makes it easy to hold in your hand while smoking.

The San Cristobal Elegancia has a sweet, earthy taste that everyone can enjoy. It starts with cinnamon hints before transitioning into traditional tobacco flavors like cedar and cocoa powder as you smoke through the first third of the cigar.

The second and third showcase spicy notes reminiscent of black pepper, which give way to oak and leather. In the final third, a great finish for any smoker.

• Punch Gran Puro Santa Rita
• 

Punch Gran Puro Santa Rita is a medium-bodied cigar with a lot of flavor and complexity. The Punch Gran Puro Santa Rita is made in Nicaragua and comes from the same factory producing famous Montecristo cigars.

The Punch Gran Puro Santa Rita cigar offers great value for your money, with each stick costing around $5 per stick on average. This means you can get an excellent smoking experience without emptying your wallet at every opportunity.

• Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2
• 

If you’re looking for a cigar that won’t break the bank but has all the flavor of one that would, try Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2. This medium-bodied blend is made with aged tobaccos and is smooth and creamy with hints of chocolate, caramel, pepper, and coffee.

It’s a great choice for any occasion, whether celebrating your best friend’s birthday or just kicking back home on a Friday night.

• Perdomo Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged Corona Gorda
• 

The Perdomo Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged Corona Gorda is a medium to full-bodied cigar aged in bourbon barrels for at least one year and features flavor notes of oak and caramel.

This smooth and creamy cigar makes it a great choice if you want something smooth but flavorful. The medium to full strength makes this a great option for those who like to kick back with their favorite beverage after a long day.
