Hey Rob,
Big fan of the forum,seriously love what you’ve built here! Just a quick one, don’t wanna take up too much of your time. So, my sweet spot for cigars is around $25. Anything over that and I start feeling like I’m breaking some kind of moral law, you know? Got any go-to sticks you'd recommend in that $22–$25 range? Ones you’d buy young? I’m not picky, Cuban, New World, whatever. Just looking for that solid value without the guilt trip.Appreciate it, man!

So plenty in that  $550 to $625 range 

To make it easier for him, recommend one box that you would buy today to smoke over the next 24 months.  Again, Cuban or Non Cuban. Say minimum 1hr smoke.

I love the JL2. Far cheaper are the AF Hemingway line. There will never be a day when a box of Short Story aren’t in my cabinet.

JL2, PSD4, Epi2, SLRR, Punch Punch, HU46

[Havanaaddict]

Another vote for JL2

[Lucas Buck]

RyJ Cazadores

[WestCoastSmokin]

JL2 

but to also add some more options 

a RyJ short Churchill or RASS.

Been a while since I've confirmed pricing but the Mag 46 and QdO Coronas Claro could be solid choices, too. Should be good fresh, too.

I am on the bandwagon with JL2 and RASS. At the risk of going off assignment, I would also say double box it with San Cristobal El Principe and Partagas Aristocrats - both have been smoking excellent for me. 

[BrightonCorgi]

For something different; Partagas Serie D No.6.

[Li Bai]

BBF, JL1, RyJ Cazadores, Quai d'Orsay 52 and 54, Punch Punch...There are still a fair amount of good CCs in that range.

[Çnote]

L'Atelier La Tache <$20

Tatuaje 15th ~$21

Warped: Black Honey, #44, Don Reynaldo all ~$18-25 msrp

Viaje 15+2.5 any color is good but you'll have a favorite <$20 msrp, toros. The 15th Jar perfectos are great and i see those around still a few places.

La Palina Goldies @ $27 (mrsp-10%) if you spot me $2, toros. The $2 here goes a looooong way

Wanna go low? Warped Sky Moon & Lirio Rojo ~$12ish and in 50s, pump for a deal, these are dead stock and more my corona/Lonsdale sweet spot. 

Bond Roberts for the absolute win tho. More cigars = better

[pohlmad]

Just over the price range, but the H Upmann Magnum 54 is another great one!

100% this. The Principe and a box of Aristocrats give you balance and really great flavors. My Aristocrats have been (shockingly) blowing me away. Its one of the most flavorful and consistent boxes I have ever had.

I go with the notoriously best tasting young Cuban cigar….SLR Regios…if you can find one.
