My entire purchasing so far in 2022 - mostly too pedestrian to bother taking pics or posting as they came in.
A few short filler cheapies I'd have turned my nose up at before the price hikes*:
Guantanmeras Minutos & Cristales ~$2.00 - Meh, not great but not the worst thing I ever smoked; very, very mild; a good handout
JLP Petit Caballeros (new short robusto size) ~$3.00 - Not too bad if you're not concentrating on it
Quinteros Brevas, Tubulares, & Favoritos ~$3.00 & $4.00 - Okay-ish, especially the Favoritos
And in more normal Cubans, mostly small stuff*:
Hoyo Coronations ~$5.00 - Bought early in 22, maybe before things got too outrageous
Hoyo Petit Robustos ~$8.00 - Pretty steep for its size, but a good cigar
Monte Media Corona ~$5.00 - Not really too much more than I'm used to; overpriced then, overpriced now
PMF ~$4.00 - (multi boxes) Up maybe 50¢, a staple in my stable
PCE ~$4.50 - (multi boxes) Likewise, just a small increase
PSD5 ~$9.50 - Half-again what I'm used to, but soooo good!
RyJ Coronitas en Cedro Almost $6.00 - Double what I'm used to, but hey, I was almost out. ¯\(ツ)/¯
RyJ Petit Julietas ~$4.00 - way, way too much for such a tiny vitola, but nonetheless; a good car gar for quick trips
RyJ Regalias de Londres ~$4.00 - (multi boxes) Not much more than I'm used to, a hidden gem
RyJ Romeo #2 ~$6.00 - Not really a terrible price for a half-decent tubed PC
Vegueros Mananitas ~$5.00 - Overpriced for the size, but useful to have around
*all prices each, but purchased by the box
