Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
My latest cheapie tryouts:
John Bull -- nice flavor but mixed filler, kinda squishy Famous Value Line Dominican #200 -- ugly wrapper but tasty |
Re: Cheap Smoke Thread

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
I just picked up a bundle of Dominicos Maduros and although I've only had 1 of them so far I am pretty impressed. These guys are made by the Torano gang who makes many a other brands as well of a few good ones of their own... Like the Exodus Gold 59. They will age nicely I believe and can be had for 30-40 for 25 torpedos. I have paid a lot more for a lesser, mediocre stix. The ash is a nice white which for me is frequently indicitive of a good smoke. I have picked a clear chocolate flavor and many others. The wrapper is a beautiful dark maduro (maybe oscuro) that I don,t believe is died as is frequently the case with "cheap" smokes. If you've had these please chime in with your thoughts.

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
I wanted to resurrect this thread for 2 reasons;
1) Newer members may not have seen it. 2) I want to add Tabacos Baez SF. One of the finest new cheap smokes in a long time imho. :tu |
Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
Couldn't stand it any longer seeing the Brahmas for a buck a stick at Holts I finally picked some up.
These are not the old Brahmas from a few years ago (which I still have a healthy supply of). Old Brahmas still very strong - the aroma off the foot is loaded with Ligero, wrapper is very reddish/rosado (hence the nickname Brahma "reds") and despite 3 years rest they still need lots of touch-ups, they are big (true 54 gauge). New Brahma -- Not nearly the amount of Ligero, just south of medium in strength but plenty of body and flavor, undercured corojo wrapper on many with "greenish" splotches, advertised as a 52 gauge but it is standard 50 x 50 robusto. Burn on the "New" Brahma is far better than the old Brahma "Reds". The new Brahma IS NOT the same cigar as the old Brahma, despite Holts telling me they simply misplaced a large amount of the old Brahmas in the warehouse that is why they came back - which sounded very fishy. Despite that, it is worth the $1.00/stick. If you like bundle Tabacalara Tropical smokes I think you will find the "New" Brahma is right in line with the TT Factory Directs and Rare Connecticuts. Not nearly as well made or as strong as the old Brahma "Reds", but at $1.00/per the new ones are worth the price of admission IMO. FWIW, BB |
Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
I recently picked up a box of Don Elias robusto (and, more recently, the churchill size as well) off the devil site for at or under $1/stick. These have been rather enjoyable and tasty smokes. Smooth wrapper, easy draw, mild to mid-bodied smoke with just enough flavor to keep things interesting.
