I am amazed that there is not one Perdomo or more Casa Magnas on this list. I agree very much with the CAO La Traviata's. I work at a Cigar lounge in Denver, CO and Casa Magnas are the best selling Cigar by far out of our humidor.

I have never seen Nat Sherman listed anyplace in these articles?
They are a great smoke, always consistant even and a sweet finish.
Smoke and be well.

If CA recognizes on line buys then Cuba Libre would make this list every year. 89/90 rating and a great great value from Nestor Plasencia.

Now I know how Americans must feel, I can't get any of the cigars from the first 3 pages over here in the UK, all I seem to be able to get is bloody cubans!

Hi Philip Clarkin,

Don't feel so bad, you're not missing much, LOL

Not a bad list at all for best bargains of the year. Got some pretty nice "smokes" on the list. Try a couple and enjoy!

Got to agree with Lewis on the omission of Perdomos from the list. Always a great smoke!

Long ashes to all.

What about Punch Magnum? Come on I'll put that cigar next to all of them. Best selling cigar in my shop...Under $5 bones...Duty Free(:

I agree with Matthew regarding the Nat Sherman. A list of bargain cigars is not complete without at least one Nat Sherman.

make that 3 people in favor of the perdomos....nothing wrong with fuente curlyheads for $3.50 either.

For my Money the Padilla is a Gr8 Bargain smoke especially the Fumas ! I do one or two daily LOL

peace through superior cigars!

My local tobacconist, Sam at Grayslake Tobacco, knows my preference for strong full-bodied, rich cigars. He suggested Vallejuelo. I was hesitant, but his suggestions have often proven to be right on. Well...he was right again! Vallejuelo looks like a Cuban-made cigar with the 3-seam cap and all. It also smoked like a Cuban! I've had Cuban Hoyos and Partagas this year and Vallejuelo was as good or better. Some of you won't believe me, so I suggest you try one for yourself and then provide your feedback here. Happy smoking and thanks Sam!

I tried a box of Vallejuelo as suggested by Mark Cederberg in post here. Wonderful cigars! I just got back from Toronto where you can buy the best Cubans for big $$$. I agree with Mark that the Vallejuelos (~$6) were as good or better than the pricey Cubans (e.g. Montecristo #2, Bolivar Fino, Partagas, etc.)...they were all about $30 US. I think I found a new favorite cigar at a great price. I purchased box of 20 Vallejuelo Gran Toro for $108 with free shipping at factorydirectcigars.com. Do yourself a favor and try them!

Cuba Aliados Toro in maduro at about $2 and change is my favorite bargain cigar. Get them regularly from CI.

Trying to purchase CAO La Traviata online, can't find them, anybody got a website for me?
