Ya know, I really love the
J&R knockoff of the Montecristo C. Buying them by the bundle ends up at less than $2 a stick. My smoking buddy reports that they have other knockoffs that smoke far better. He's a couple hours away so it'll be two or three weeks before I can validate that kind of claim.
But my favorite bargain really is the
PH 681s from Famous. They're orphaned sticks from some unidentified premium maker. (They're a Nicaraguan Puros.) I picked up a box of 25 on a Cigar Monster deal for $70 (on top of the couple/few 5 packs I've bought in the last six months.)
Really a solid stick. My favorite Maduro so far. Yes, I said it.
