Cheap smokes!!

bigdix · 08-20-2010, 03:34 AM

Now that I have your attention

I am looking for a cheaper "yard-smoke". It seems the average per-stick I smoke is in the range of 8 bucks or so. So I'm looking for something about 3.50 or so a stick, a tad more or less is fine. Also, nothing too huge, about a 50 min smoke, give or take. I like mostly fuller smokes and tend to lean towards LFD, any DPG product, Don Giolito stuff, Ashton, Oliva. Can't wait to hear some recommendations. If I were in the states I'd check out a few B&M's and talk to some folks and buy a few sticks here or there but it's just easier overseas to get some opinions and order more cigars to save on shipping. Thanks for the help!!!

Diesel Unholy Cocktail. Box of 30 will set you back about 100 bucks at the major online shops. Benchmade robusto (made by DPG for Ashton) and Fumadores (made by DPG for Holts) come to mind too, both are mixed filler.

Thanks for the input, this is what I was getting at, what are YOU all smoking for cheap and what should I check out, b/c I'm gonna probably just buy a box so that they stay "cheap".

I am smoking these sticks, love them all (check my blog for reviews on the Benchmade and Diesel, fumadores review will be online in about 8 hours).

Another nice cheap and short smoke is the Oliva G special G maduro, did a review on that one too, recently. And from what I've heard (haven't tried one yet, have a few in the humi though) Famous Nic must be a good and cheap smoke too.

I can also recommend www.vegassantiago.com great yardgars for the price. Free shipping from Costa Rica.

bigdix · 08-20-2010, 04:04 AM

Tons and tons of info, what's your source for the Benchmade?? (IF you don't mind, of course!)

Don Fernando · 08-20-2010, 04:06 AM

Local shop in Amsterdam, The Netherlands

I see that Jack Schwartz carries them too.

Great Info, Ferdie!

I Love That Oliva Special G Maduro, Especially If You Can Rest It A Year. If You Can Find Any Tat P3's Around, They Are An Awesome Cheap Smoke!

I bought a bunch of Pirate's Gold to pass out at my wedding next year. I got them cuz I don't think there will be too many people at the wedding that actually smoke cigars but they will try them on this day. I tried them and I liked them as something I could smoke everyday.

Thanks, Ferdinand! Greg, I'm checkin' those out too!

Diesel, La Herencia Cubana Oscuro Fuerte, CI Legends Red (Perdomo), and CI Legends Yellow (DPG). They can all be had for $2-2.50 a stick when you get a box from C bid.

The 5 vegas gold maduro is one you might want to try, also Bahia maduro(red label) made by aj fernandez and his la herencia oscuro is one of the best buys around

Wonder where this will lead Dan? I bet it starts with credit card and rhymes with waiting on the mailman.

And if it were a sticky, it would be super-easy to find.

bigdix · 08-20-2010, 06:15 AM

Ok, Fumadores

bigdix · 08-20-2010, 06:17 AM

OF COURSE! I would miss the cheap smoke thread

Fuggin' noobs!!

Check out the Tabacos Baez SF. They are short filler sticks made by Pepin, dirt cheap and pretty good.

dwoodward · 08-20-2010, 01:04 PM

To be honest, most sampler packs online (and by most i mean 99%) drop prices on sticks to less than 3.50 each.

So in otherwords you can smoke great sticks anytime if that is your price range. Just check out the CI deal of the day, and go nuts when the Joe Jambalaya comes around.
