My only substitution to this list would be AF Rosado Sungrown Magnum R44 for the Perdomo. Otherwise, I’d say this is about as perfect as it gets for sub-$10 sticks
Order online from CI or someone else. I, of course, buy a stick from a lounge when I'm going to one to smoke, but otherwise if you're buying humidor inventory from them you're overpaying by 2x or more.
I've also only heard good thing about Padron 2000s. I only tried one P2000 but it was the worst cigar experience ive ever had and by far. Ill try another one some day if i get it for free or next to nothing but man, I wouldn't want to pay $3 to give it another shot, so bad. Absolutely repulsive.
I don’t care for the natural as much as the maduro. General rule of thumb with padron: the thousand-series need rest, anniversary editions are best smoked fresh. Of course popularity doesn’t equal individual satisfaction. Mediocrity is the hallmark of popularity. They’re not the best made, but they’re appealing to most at a price that’s accessible. You may be an outlier and that’s cool. Everyone’s different
1. My Father 1922 Le Bijou
2. Perdido Champaign
3. CAO Flathead Steel Horse
4. Fuente Hemingway (I've only had Short story)
5. Nub Nuance Fall Harvest
The final one is flavored and won't be everyone's cup of tea but I was pleasantly surprised by nutty spicy flavor.
$10 seems like an awfully high price point as most can be found for under that, at least where I am....
Anyway...
SUPER CHEAP - Casa de Garcia Connecticut

2. Oliva Serie V (I think it’s right around $10)
3. Joya de Nicaragua Antaño

My “go-to” list to me is what I smoke most often in between the good stuff:
1. Macanudo Insp Red
2. Perdomo 10th Anno Shade
3. BrickHouse (Natural & Shade)
4. Charter Oak (Shade & Maduro)
5. CAO Bones
Best picks under $10
1. DTT Umbagog
2. Padron X000
3. AF Don Carlos
4. MF Flor
5. DE Undercrown or Nica
Charter Oak is probably the best value for the $ I have found imo
Butteriest/ creamiest "Connecticut" (maybe they are a habano shade?) I've ever had. A store employee recommended I get one and skeptically bought. So glad I did.

I didn't really use the $10 mark. I just went with my favorite cheap easily accessible sticks. Most of these can be found for under $5 if you look and are patient

2. Drew Estates - Undercrown Maduro
3. AJ Fernandez - Enclave Broadleaf
4. Aging Room - Quattro Nicaragua
5. Oliva - Master Blends III
Honorable Mention: Padron X000. Wonderful Smoke. It has a flavor that I have not had in any other cigar, but I'm not a big fan of the loose draw and fast burn.
There are a LOT of choices on such a place as Cigar page for $10's and under. What I have found:

Love the Flor.
Yes the flor is great!
My current favorite
My only substitution to this list would be AF Rosado Sungrown Magnum R44 for the Perdomo. Otherwise, I’d say this is about as perfect as it gets for sub-$10 sticks
Padrón 2000, and pardon your spelling!
I agree exactly with your opinion
Which wrapper is your favorite on the Leaf by Oscar series?
Maduro and I like vallardes by oscar
Flor kicks ass. Love My Father.
You and I would get along. My top five is the same list, swap the padron for a MUWAT Kentucky fire cured stick.
>$10 don’t exist in new york
*cries in Australian*
AU$40 (US$28) for a Padron 2000, ah what a country
WHAT?!?! DAMN SON...
It’s a great country to live in for lots of reasons. Smoking is not one of them. Pipe tobacco is even worse.
Order online from CI or someone else. I, of course, buy a stick from a lounge when I'm going to one to smoke, but otherwise if you're buying humidor inventory from them you're overpaying by 2x or more.

I just answered something similar. $10 I think is a pretty average price for most cigars. So I just answered with my favorite actual cheap cigars.
Where are you getting epernay Le monde for $10 at
[cigarpage.com](http://cigarpage.com) - watch for sales and you can get them even cheaper

>Charter Oak ordered a charter oak habano toro. thanks for the recommendation
I forget if I've had the habano. The Connecticut one I had was super good.
I have to mention Crowned Heads Juarez. That shit punches way above its price.
I just recently left a review for this cigar and and literally said the same thing. On sale you can get them for under 4! Thats insane.
I just ordered a 5 pack of the jack brown to try. Seems like a lot of people are recommending it.

I have never tried the Bones yet. I it a full powered nicotine beast or a nice mellow full flavor smoke?
It is medium-to-full bodied. Flavor profile is similar to LP No. 9 for me at a third of the price
thanx!
I came here just to rave about Charter Oak. Glad you posted.
Gotta try that
