A quote:

"TOP CUBAN CIGAR BRANDS

COHIBA: ALL these are great cigars, but they do cost twice the price of a comparable-sized cigar. Still, you have to try one if you're in Cuba! The Siglo I (5.85CUC) and II (7.50CUC) are the perfect little affordable smokes. Almost all of the Cohibas are available in packs of 3 or 5 and each cigar is also individually boxed. The BEST gift idea for any cigar smoker BY FAR!

MONTECRISTO: The No.2 is considered one of the best torpedo (pointed) cigars in the world... it IS! You can find these in 3 packs (6.85CUC each). The other Montecristos are a little stronger and not as tasty.

PARTAGAS: A brand that is fast becoming the most popular among cigar smokers, it has some of the best cigars you’ve NEVER heard of. A must is the Partagas Series D No 4 (PSD4 6.05CUS). Now availible in 3 packs, this cigar packs tons of smoke and has the best cap of any cigar. Try the Lusitania for another great cigar (8.80CUC) and available in 3 packs also or the Mille Fleurs which are a small delicious smoke (60-65CUC a box of 25!)

HOYO DE MONTERREY: If you want to try a big cigar but don't think you can smoke one, try the Hoyo De Monterrey Double Corona (8.80CUC) or Churchill (8.05CUC). Great light smoke from beginning to end.

ROMEO Y JULIETTA: This cigar brand is the GM of cigars. It has the most variety of ANY Cuban cigar brand. That means they have really horrible cigars and some really good ones. I wouldn’t suggest buying the Romeo Tubos, those are very average at best. If you absolutely want a tubed cigars, try the Churchill (10.15CUC), fantastic light cigar and the best Romeo Y Julietta cigar you can buy!

EL REY DEL MUNDO: Never heard of this brand? Well it’s no surprise, it’s a very small brand but they are my personal favorite because they are a VERY light cigar and they are really affordable! Check this cigar out if you can find it: Lunch Club (61.75CUC a box of 25!)"

Your dead on. I smoked atleast 1 of each of these on my carribean cruise last month. Even bought some fake Romeo's in Mexico, lol.
