Cheap Smoke Thread - Page 11

I smoke many a few of the Slow-Aged, too.
The trick to avoiding construction issues (wrapper crapping)
is to store them at 70 rh. I keep these in a separate humidor
at the higher level, & no problems for years. Try it.

I like the Omar Ortez sticks

Baccarat Sumatra Toro, wow are these tasty......

bought a bundle at FSS and I'm quite happy.

CigarSquid · 10-12-2011, 07:32 AM

With sticks that no one seems to want? Is that nice??

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!

Do you have any Maduros?

Troops!!! Many of them will smoke anything they can get their hands on.

Rigoletto Black Jack one of my cheap favorites

12-10-2011, 08:04 AM

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/

CigarSquid · 12-30-2011, 01:04 PM

Those VS i think are horrible. I have some still in my humi, scared to smoke them.

madwilliamflint · 12-30-2011, 04:01 PM

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.

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

01-13-2012, 09:24 PM

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!
