Guys, I'm all over this...If there is a crap cigar bomb, I'm all over it. I got way excited about cigars and found a bunch of "great deals" that turned out to be not so great. Tell me where to send them!

Split em' between Frank & I "Steve" I'm always wanting to try new things since I am fairly new...or better yet send them to the troops (or is that too harsh for them?)

I've been offloading my infused to the troops (got a local girl serving in the sandbox...she's new to cigars and likes the pretty flavored ones)

Ones I have that I'll never smoke...a box of Carinos, THREE boxes of Augusto Reyes, a bunch of Oliveros XL (for Men)...yes it actually says that on the label. And a large assortment of other CBID orphans.

Never had any of those so I can't attest, however I am sure you could unload them on the troops. Or BOMB FRANK!:tu

Do you have any Maduros?

The Carinos are maduros. They sell them at Famous. If you want them, they are yours!

I've smoked a few of the 55s and they're OK. The Vintage Select as well. My biggest gripe was that I seemed to get a lot of sticks with overglued bands, and it was impossible to get them off without tearing the wrapper.

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 
I do enjoy the Baccarat Game Robusto. A box cost me 66$ So at just over 3$ a smoke I enjoy these when I want something to smoke that I may not have time to finish or if I'm going to be sharing with others who don't really "appreciate" fine leaf. Very light, mild smoke with a sweet gum cap. Not bad at all.

I know Thompson has been pretty shady in the past, but i really think they have been trying to improve their reputation. I've bought a few packages from them recently and haven't had any complaints. Their Powerhouse 16 Sampler that use to come with a 20 count humidor now comes with a 10 count travel case, due to the fact that they have sold so many packages that they ran out of humidors, but anyway i still think it's a great deal and can be found here http://www.thompsoncigardeals.com/pr...URCHILL-COMBO/

These have quickly become my go to smoke for a cheap thrill as of late. Picked up a bundle a while back at Famous Smoke Shop and was thrilled by the amount of flavor they pack. IMO, these are definately worth the $34.99 price tag for 20 good tasting sticks!

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 
I've gotta say, re: Thompson. They've got a bad rap and yeah, it's largely well earned.

But as far as cheap smokes go? I've now been through a couple hundred of those Roly torpedoes and, at a buck a piece? I actually reach for them. They're not better than the good stuff. But a few bundles in the humi go a long way to saving my nice sticks from being smoked when they won't be appreciated.

I've noticed Famous started carrying them as well, though at a little higher price.

For the Famous Nicaraguans I have had, I think I'm slowly going to start buying them all, bundle by bundle, find my favorites, and they're fantastic budget sticks.

I have ran across a brand called "New Cuba" the guys are awesome driving cigars!

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 
I am trying a Factory Throwouts 99 tonight. Interestingly, the label prominently says that these cigars have a Ecuador Sungrown wrapper and Aged Dominican filler. In the tiny print on the bottom of the package it says it has some "non-tobacco ingredients added." Like what?!!! I taste a tiny bit of vanilla...maybe that is the non-tobacco ingredient?

BTW, I've found a hair or two rolled up in a premium cigar before...I hope that is not it!

JohnRider 01-13-2012 10:15 PM
Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
 
The $1.25/stick Factory Throwouts 99 is a 7.25x52. The wrapper has an even medium brown color with a few medium heavy veins. The cap is a little wonky, but does the job. Pre-light, the wrapper has a sweet aroma - it reminds me of Swiss Miss cocoa mix. The cigar has 2 or 3 soft spots, but no hard ones. The cigar started out dull and tasteless, but after about an inch some nice flavors started to kick in. As I noted earlier, there is a hint of sweetness and vanilla in there, as well as some floral flavors. Now I am near the halfway point and the flavor is mild-medium and has become a little more cedar. The quantity of smoke is acceptable. The ash is moderately flaky with a broad mixture of light gray and almost black areas. Draw has been about right and the burn has been very even. No relights yet and it is holding a reasonably good ash. The room note (aroma in the room) is nice - it doesn't stink like a cheap cigar - and also has a vanilla note to it. I'm thinking it has some vanilla flavor added...but I could be wrong...I've not run across that flavor before, so I am thinking it is part of the "non-tobacco ingredients" they talk about in the fine print. Overall, it is very smokeable. I'm diggin' it just fine. I would choose this stick over the similarly priced sticks I've had. One feature about the packaging I like is the cello - it has a pull strip that actually works. I wouldn't mind seeing that feature on my regular lineup of smokes. So, for the guys in this thread who suggested it, thanks, and I agree for a uber-cheap stick it is an okay smoke in my book.

Delicious smokes.

I've never been let down by one, despite it being what amounts to AF's garbage.

Pinar Del Rio. Lately Cbid has been unloading some bundles of 20, 5 each of their core lines, the "new" ones with the banded foot. They can be had for under $25. Pretty damn good smoke for less than $2 IMHO

I bought a "Famous Brand 2nds - Nicaraguan" bundle from JR which ended up being $1 per stick and let me tell you it's a fantastic stick for the price.

Supposedly JR stepped on someone's toes with them and they were discontinued.

"Famous Brand 2nds - Nicaraguan" bundle from JR which ended up being $1 per stick"

I wanted these at a $1 each. Bought on a "Check Out page" promotion at maybe $18, maybe $16 the bundle - geez, it was a bundle of 10! I just didn't notice.

An alright smoke, but it would have been a lot better at $1 than it was at $1.70.

Bought the Dominicans too. Same reaction to them.
