cheap torpedo suggestions
 

I enjoy torpedoes, mostly cause they just look so damn cool, but they are quite expensive. I've seen a good deal on see eye for Gurkha's, but I'm a little leary of that brand (I've only liked one kind out of five or six). La Aurora makes these great torps in metal tubes but they're like $15 a pop. Soooo....anyone know where I can get some torps for under maybe $4 each? Thanking you in advance.:tu

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

Famous Nic 3000 Torps run about $2.50. Padilla Obsidians can be found for about $35/bundle on Cigarbid.com, but they need about 6 months rest to start getting really good. Tons of good torps out there. Oliva has some nice ones, especially the V. :2

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

Get on the devil site and get some Padilla Obsidians, 5 Vegas Serie As or 5 Vegas Classis. They're all good cheaper smokes imo.

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

Thaks for the suggestions! You guys are awesome! But I was thinking more along the lines of this size

Which is actually a "perfecto" if I'm not mistaken.


:lv

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

Yes, those are perfectos. None really come to mind for under $4 to me. I bet there are some knock offs for that price though...

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

Ah! The Oliva O has a perfecto size around $3. So far I've tried most of the mentioned brands except the Famous. I love learning about new brands. This site is like school, only no swirlies!

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

Here is a cheap "perfecto"... never heard of it before, much less smoke it... something for you to consider. :ss

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

SmoJoe, whats the name of the stick? The link just takes me to the home page.

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

Thanks ComQ!

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

LOOK at the oliva line, the series V or G....a bit more than $ 4/stick but worth it

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

Gurkha does has a lot of perfectos and can be found cheap on the devil site (I think Gurkhas are decent, but nothing special). The Oliva Series O is good, but around $5.00/stick. You won't find a lot of cheap, good perfectos around.

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

Two other good perfectos are the Rocky Patel Vintage Seconds Petite Perfecto from Cigars International and the Te Amo Aniversario Perfecto in Maduro from Best Cigar Prices. Another good one is the Oliva Special G in Maduro; this is another Petite Perfecto and runs about $115 for a box of 48. After taking a quick look through one of my humidors, there is another good one, La Flor Dominicana El Jocko Maduro Perfecto. This is another small perfecto.

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

I agree,have both the torp and robusto and like the robusto better:2

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

check out these pretty good and 30% off link...http://www.cigarplace.biz/index.cfm/...w&updateCart=1

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

Try out the Torano Exodus 1959 (gold band) perfecto. It's box pressed, so it looks a little different, but it's a great smoke at a good price.

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

Don Tomas Cameroon perfectos used to be a fav of mine. Haven't had one in a while though.

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

I dig the gran habano corojo #5s. Box of 20 is $69 at Atlantic plus you get another fiver free.

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

I love the Don Thomas line, have yet to try the cams. They look good. thanks!!

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

The Famous Nic 3000's are great.

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

Torano 1916 torpedo at $83.99 for 25 sticks. They are damned good too.

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

I've never seen these before but they fit your bill...

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

Those Victor's look good, Scott, but I've never tried the brand. Thanks!

I did find at my B&M 5 packs of Don Thomas Cameroon perfectos for $16. Real nice!

Re: cheap torpedo suggestions
 

I'd get the RP Liga 'C' X-Outs from cigarbid.com .
You can get a bundle of 15, either maduro or corojo,
for under $40, using Quick Buy. They're seconds of
one of my favorite smokes, the OWR. One of the
best.

Chemyst :cool2:

Fuente Curlie Heads? Or, the more expensive Short stories? El Titan de Bronze?
