Battle of the Budgets 2025 Part 2

Coming to you from the JRE Tobacco Aladino Studios, Nick is joined by Luc (MySticks35mm) and Dave to continue the 2025 Battle of the Budgets! 

Eight cigars were selected that all have an MSRP of $8 or less. They were de-banded and assigned a number by an independent assistant. The guys have no idea what they are smoking and will review the four cigars. At the end, they assign a numerical score to each cigar. Their scores are averaged up to determine the final score for each cigar. The one with the highest score will be declared the round winner. 

The full field of eight cigars for the battle consists of... 

CAO Fasa Sol toro

Charter Oak Maduro toro

Havana Q toro

La Aurora Connecticut toro

Nica Rustica Abode toro

Southern Classic Habano toro

United Cigars natural toro

Zino Nicaragua toro
