Sorry my bad, I will read the rules better next time.

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 

In the same vein as Baccarat, I'm enjoying Diamondbacks which can be had for $2 a stick in 5-packs on CBid (around $4-$5 for a single at your B&M). If you like Drew Estates Natural Dirt, check out the Baccarat Maduro... these are harder to find in B&Ms but can be had every few weeks on CBid, usually $2-4 per stick in 5-packs.

has anyone had a Palma Real? I had someone I work with give me one when he found out I was into cigars and while they are by no means fantastic, I thought that it was a decent go to smoke. I could be way off on whats deemed good but I enjoyed it and at $60 for 50 on ci thats really cheap

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 

I like the CAO La Traviata one of my Favorite sticks hands down I had an 1844 last night.. wasn't impressed at all

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 

Cigars International has EST 1844s on sale. All 20 count boxes are currently $49.95. I've never tried them and don't have room for a box, so I picked up a 5er for $15. $3 a stick seemed like a decent deal.

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 

Well I guess thats about what they were $3.00 sticks then they arn't bad just I was looking or more in an AJ stick but at that price not bad to keep around I guess

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 

Hahaha I tried one, once. It was hands down the worst cigar of my life.
I imagine the flavor tasting like smoking a cockroach that was wearing a straw hat. <---nice review, right?
I will never again smoke one. I even skipped their booth at Cigarfest, they can keep them even if they are free.

Damn, that's harsh bro lol

I really like the Padilla Habano. Picked up a box of 20 torpedo from CI on a one day deal last week. $2 a stick. It's a good deal if it rolls around again and I would pay more than that for them. The Nestor Miranda Special Edition Torpedo Rosado 4.0" x 58 are $2 a stick right now too. Picked up 20. Good everyday sticks for the price IMHO.

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 

Gran Habano Aztecas $49.99 for 25 on Cbid, I think they are a little more in the catalog but not much

a very good flavor, quality construction, beautiful wrapper, and consistent

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 

Not sure if I've mentioned these. Forgive me if I had.

But my current two favorite cheap smokes are:

the Iron Horses, at just under $50 a box (on Famous I think. Just about the same price for every size), they're a really tasty "medium-full" stick. Every time I've smoked one I lean back surprised, look at it and nod appreciatively.

and the Roly Torpedos, which I just bought (gasp) another 2 boxes of 100 each of from Thompson at $99 per. They're ugly as home grown sin, spongey as all hell, but they draw nice and fit an light-medium "early day" or "something light and tasty" profile that I reach for quite a bit.

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 

+1 these and the 2002's are great :tu

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 

Hey if you enjoy them then you are welcome to them, I wish I liked them as cheap as they are. Smoke them if you like them by all means, we all have different tastes.

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 

Now I'm by no means a Gurkha fan, but I've found that some of the Gurkha Empire series are ok sticks. I forgot what numbers, but the darker ones seem to have a decent flavor. If you can snag 'em on the devil site for about $2 per, it's a pretty good deal.

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 

I have to say... anything from Gran Habano is awesome in my opinion. Their cigars are cheap and they never let me down. I recently tried their Azteca and it was delicious.

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 

It's already on the list, but I just picked up a bundle of Flor de Oliva Petit Torpedos. The flavor is great, with a mild sweetness that doesn't come off as artificially sweetened (even though I'm pretty sure it is). That said, I'm 4-sticks into the bundle and every single stick is packed EXTREMELY densely in the foot making for an EXTREMELY tough draw. I smoke these at the office, so I've fashioned a draw tool out of an unfolded paper clip and it's the only way I can loosen these up enough to get a decent draw. It's like the roller put the same amount of tobacco in the tapered foot of a torpedo as would normally be there in the foot of a Robusto, making it extremely densely packed.

If I pick up another bundle, I'll likely go with the Robusto or Toro... but something like the C'est La Vie Sweet from CI might be my next cheap sweet bundle.

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 

I agree!:tu

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 

Don Francisco in East Brunswick NJ sells a in house cigar $2 its a pretty short smoke. Picked up a bundle of 25 today.
