The Best Cheap Cigars for the Summer

With summer right around the corner, it’s only natural to want to get outside and soak up some sun. Even if we aren’t able to enjoy visiting some of our favorite public spaces—restaurants, festivals, and the like—our yards are here to offer us a safe place to get some fresh air and enjoy a smoke. Whether you’re lounging in your favorite chair or getting some work done on the lawn, it can always be improved with the right yard ‘gar. Typically, yard ‘gars are characterized as easily smokable cigars that also have a low price point. In other words, the perfect cigar to enjoy on a random day in the yard. Here are some of the best yard ‘gars of the season.

1. Oba Oba!

Oba Oba! Cigars

Featuring Nicaraguan mixed-filler from Perdomo, the Oba Oba! delivers serious flavor, especially considering their price of roughly $2 per stick. For a peppery smoke with notes of nut and cream, go for the natural. If you prefer the flavors of mocha and coffee, you can’t go wrong with the Oba Oba! Maduro. Both options promise an easy draw and even burn while you relax outside.

2. Occidental Reserve

Occidental Reserve Cigars

The Occidental Reserve is an incredibly affordable cigar from Hendrik Kelner, who has previously created the blends for Avo and Zino Classic. From the first pull, the Occidental Reserve is smooth and sweet, perfect for an enjoyable smoke while knocking out some yard work. Best Cigar Prices offers these hidden gems at just $2.50 to $3.50 per stick!

3. Gran Habano Top Shelf Seconds

Gran Habano - Top Shelf Seconds Cigars

Blended with the same tobaccos as some of the finest cigars in the business, Top Shelf Seconds will leave you wondering how they’re so affordable. For just under $2 a stick, these Gran Habano cigars boast deep flavors of spice, wood, coffee, caramel, and pepper. Take a load off by the fire pit and enjoy!

4. Asylum Schizo

Asylum Schizo Cigars

Made at the El Aladino factory in Honduras, the Asylum Schizo gives you quality Honduran filler tobaccos with a San Andres wrapper. The Schizo is a Cuban sandwich blend, meaning it’s a combination of long and short filler. The result is a top-notch construction that draws easily and produces a luxurious aroma.

5. Quorum

Quorum Cigars - Shade Wrapper

This best-selling all-Nicaraguan smoke from J.C. Newman Cigar Co. is a solid cigar available in both maduro Ecuadorian sun grown wrappers as well as the Shade Grown series. The maduro has a dark, oily wrapper and offers a rich, nutty flavor. The Shade series produces a light, smooth taste that is perfect for the pool, and both burn slow with a thick flavor. Find your favorite Quorum cigar at Best Cigar Prices for less than $3.00 per stick!

We hope this list has introduced you to some affordable cigars that the discerning smoker will still love while spending time in the yard. Stock up now to ensure you’ll have a tasty yard ‘gar on hand the next time you want to enjoy a smoke on a warm summer night.
