For under $20, you can get two of my favorites: Fonseca Bin 27 and Graham's Six Grapes.
If you want something significantly better, you're going to need to spend $75+ for a vintage bottle.

Ferreira Dona Antonia Reserve is very good for the money, I would think in the US it would be under $25. Cedary, with berry/fig flavours, goes very well with cigars.

I enjoy tawny ports with my cigars. The best one for the money, IMHO, is an Austrailian port, Illapara, 10 year tawny. $18 bucks here in NC. Cockburn's 20 year is my favorite..........

I like Dow, Fonseca and Warre's Warrior as well...
This past weekend I was at CVS and as I passed through the spirits section, I saw a weekend special on a port. It was an Australian port named Benjamin. $7.99 a bottle...I thought, "Heck, I spend that much on a couple of cups of coffee at Barnes and Noble so why not"
It is different than some of the ports I mentioned above. This has a "smoky" or "dusty" flavor.If that makes sense. Less sweet than most with perhaps a touch more alcohol content (whatever alcohol they use down there...brandy?)
Still undecided as to whether it will have a permanent place in my cabinet. Will have to keep drinking ...if my wife asks why I am drinking so much, I will respond it is a scientific experiment that I am participating in < wink wink> hee hee...taking for the team, thats me...bring on another bottle.

I also like Benjamin's - it's a nice change of pace, and it holds it's own against some more expensive Portos.
So many cigars, so little time...

, but I think the Hardy's "Whiskers Blake" Tawny Port is a killer bargain at about $15 a bottle.
