Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
supervisor selection cigars from FSS...they are essentially the Maxx by Alec Bradley, just in bundles..great stick!
another of my favorite sleeper sticks is the La Floridita Limited...look for them on the monster, when on sale they can be had for around $3 a stick...IMO they are just as good if not better than many $10 sticks i've smoked |

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
Howdy cheap cigar smokers,
I've been on hiatus for a while, but thought I would share a few bargain cigars I have been smoking lately: Pinar Del Rio Classico - This is a great cigar and is being discontinued and blown out in both retail and mail order. I tried one when I was seeking a replacement for 601 Black at The Party Source (local tobacconist) and returned to buy a a box @ ~$3 a stick. According to reports from IPCPRSTUV, stronger flavored Connecticut wrapped cigars are a growing trend. This is not strong, but it isn't the typical airball Dominican Connecticut cigar either. I have since found them and purchased many more boxes from cbid at around $2 a stick. Cigarbid has some pretty old ones shipping (3-4 years old), and they lack the second band on the newer ones in retail stores but the blend and quality are the same as retail (they don't seem to be a crappy Keith Meier edition). Now that I have trashed K.M. (since he does sell some Dog Rockets); here is an exclusive of his I really like: Alec Bradley Harvest Selection '97 - ~$2.50 a stick on CBid if you work, often much less frustrating to but outright for $3 a stick from CI. The construction quality and burn of these is amazing for a 'house brand', and I like the blend better than the highly touted Prensado. La Reloba Seleccion Sumatra Corona - $3.75 a single -10% box quantity from my local Tobacconist. First let me say IMO you should avoid the Mexican and Habano wrapped versions of this blend, and also the larger ring gauge vitolas - it is all about this Vitola. Tabacos Baeaez S.F. - $1.75 - Best mixed filler cigar out there. Good flavor and burn but no complexity. enjoy, -Matt- |

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
Janny just posted to her FB wall the great rating C.A. gave La Reloba Sumatra (though a Beli Size). Wonder how long I will be able to get La Reloba Coronas for under $4 a stick...

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
I'm almost embarrassed by this. But I really enjoy them so screw it.
On a goof I hit a bundle of these "Roly #6 Natural Torpedos when they were on sale for $19.95. They're pretty ugly and very... spongy (loose mix-filler roll.) but I've gotta tell ya, they draw like they're not even there. They burn nice and they taste good enough that I actually actively reach for them. Thompson had the same sale a couple Mondays ago and I picked up 4 more bundles. Then in the box the catalog had boxes of 100 (both natural and maduro) listed at a buck a stick. Really, give them a shot. With two full coolidors I'm amazed that I reach for these things with all the super premiums and such I have in there, but I do. |

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
Good add there for #58, Dave; that J Fuego Original vitola is just outstanding for the $2 /stick I pay. Since they are "fresh" I bet the sticks have amazing aging potential, but I keep smoking them within a week.
Mark, if you have suggestions by all means put them up there. You might be withholding someone's Holy Grail cigar. Taste is subjective and opinions are like a$$h0l3s.. |

Re: Cheap Smoke Thread
My go-to cheap smokes are the Gran Habano Vintage 2002 (CI), La Floridita Limited (FSS), and Factory Throwouts (can be found several places). I believe each of those with over 6 months rest (a year is better) stands up to cigars several times the cost. The Factorys in particular are way better than they have any right to be. My local shop sells them for $30 for 20, and that's California prices.
