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!

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!:tu

Do you have any Maduros?

I got a sampler of some biggins from VS.. out of the ones I have tried.. I liked one, a few were ok and the others.. I am trying to figure out how to get rid of them.. haha.
I've smoked a few of the 55s and they're OK. The Vintage Select as well. My biggest gripe was that I seemed to get a lot of sticks with overglued bands, and it was impossible to get them off without tearing the wrapper.

Thompson of course. I've only had a Victor Sinclair Primeros and I must say it was pretty much the worst cigar I have ever tried.

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/product/POWERHOUSE-SIXTEEN-CHURCHILL-COMBO/

These have quickly become my go to smoke for a cheap thrill as of late. Picked up a bundle a while back at Famous Smoke Shop and was thrilled by the amount of flavor they pack. IMO, these are definately worth the $34.99 price tag for 20 good tasting sticks!

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 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!

JohnRider
01-13-2012, 10:15 PM
The $1.25/stick Factory Throwouts 99 is a 7.25x52. The wrapper has an even medium brown color with a few medium heavy veins. The cap is a little wonky, but does the job. Pre-light, the wrapper has a sweet aroma - it reminds me of Swiss Miss cocoa mix. The cigar has 2 or 3 soft spots, but no hard ones. The cigar started out dull and tasteless, but after about an inch some nice flavors started to kick in. As I noted earlier, there is a hint of sweetness and vanilla in there, as well as some floral flavors. Now I am near the halfway point and the flavor is mild-medium and has become a little more cedar. The quantity of smoke is acceptable. The ash is moderately flaky with a broad mixture of light gray and almost black areas. Draw has been about right and the burn has been very even. No relights yet and it is holding a reasonably good ash. The room note (aroma in the room) is nice - it doesn't stink like a cheap cigar - and also has a vanilla note to it. I'm thinking it has some vanilla flavor added...but I could be wrong...I've not run across that flavor before, so I am thinking it is part of the "non-tobacco ingredients" they talk about in the fine print. Overall, it is very smokeable. I'm diggin' it just fine. I would choose this stick over the similarly priced sticks I've had. One feature about the packaging I like is the cello - it has a pull strip that actually works. I wouldn't mind seeing that feature on my regular lineup of smokes. So, for the guys in this thread who suggested it, thanks, and I agree for a uber-cheap stick it is an okay smoke in my book.

Delicious smokes.

"Famous Brand 2nds - Nicaraguan" bundle from JR which ended up being $1 per stick"

I wanted these at a $1 each. Bought on a "Check Out page" promotion at maybe $18, maybe $16 the bundle - geez, it was a bundle of 10! I just didn't notice.

An alright smoke, but it would have been a lot better at $1 than it was at $1.70.

Bought the Dominicans too. Same reaction to them.

Thats is okay.... There are similar smokes on the list. I brought it up because 1) I do belive it is a cheap price for a good cigar.
2)For people that either want to try Tats (reserve line) it is a cheap way to do so.
3)Not commenting on anyone elses tastes/preferences, but I have never had a 50 cent or $1 cigar that I enjoyed enough to purchase in mass or make part of my weekly rotation.

Once again that is my humble opinion and is not meant to insult or bias anyone else.

As far as i know you can discuss them but not link sites that sell them (so outside the USA)

So to answer your question i would say

Partagas Mille Fleurs
El Ray De Mundo Choix Supreme
Pretty much every Fonseca
H.Upamnn Corona Minor
Quintero Panetelas

And for NCs ive found the Spanish Galleon to be pretty decent if you buy the bundles.

Thanks...hopping to get a couple different inexpensive cigars while I let my better stuff age a little.

Those are in-expensive for cubans but they still wont be $2-3 a stick.

And if your ageing a little then Bolivar royal coronas,Punch punch and Jun lopez No2 are well worth it.

Apexkingjusto
03-26-2012, 05:03 PM
thanks! I just got a box of the erdm cs and loved the first one, the second one was ehh. I don't plan on ageing any of the inexpensive cigars as I want to smoke those while my better cigars age :). I was recently reading about the JLP 1, sounds like a good inexpensive cigar. Price point I'm looking for is between 50-100. I know that leaves a lot of option open, but I'm only willing ot pay 100 for much higher quality.

Reaver2145
03-26-2012, 08:58 PM
JLPs are nice for the price but you can get a much better smoke for a few extra quid same goes for Guantanamera though those are by far the worst thing to come out of Cuba since cohiba released the siglo 5.

Hoyo De Monterrey Le Hoyo De Maire are 135 a box for me and are much better than any JLP great quality too.

Though im working off English prices so ill be lucky to find anything under $9 a stick even for JLPs.

Very surprised not to find Gran Habano Vintage 2002's on the list. They're great at the price point. Habano wrappers aren't my favorite, but these are delish, and are often around $1.50 on cbid.

Perdomo's 10th Anny Maduro is also good. Super-smooth after a bit of rest. I think I've gotten then around $3 a stick.

Also, really, really like 601 Blue Labels and Tatuaje Havanas, probably two of my "everyday" favorites. They're on the monster all the time for about $3-$3.50 a stick.

Dunno who considers what cheap, but at $4, you cannot beat the Padron 2000 maduro, or the A. Fuente 858 maduro. Both are great sticks, and IMO are better than many $7-10 sticks out there.

Very surprised not to find Gran Habano Vintage 2002's on the list. They're great at the price point. Habano wrappers aren't my favorite, but these are delish, and are often around $1.50 on cbid.

Perdomo's 10th Anny Maduro is also good. Super-smooth after a bit of rest. I think I've gotten then around $3 a stick.

Also, really, really like 601 Blue Labels and Tatuaje Havanas, probably two of my "everyday" favorites. They're on the monster all the time for about $3-$3.50 a stick.

Dunno who considers what cheap, but at $4, you cannot beat the Padron 2000 maduro, or the A. Fuente 858 maduro. Both are great sticks, and IMO are better than many $7-10 sticks out there.

Great additions, totally forgot about the GH's will have to def add these and your other suggestions to the list......anyone want to update that list? Jeff???

In the same vein as Baccarat, I'm enjoying Diamondbacks which can be had for $2 a stick in 5-packs on CBid (around $4-$5 for a single at your B&M). If you like Drew Estates Natural Dirt, check out the Baccarat Maduro... these are harder to find in B&Ms but can be had every few weeks on CBid, usually $2-4 per stick in 5-packs.

has anyone had a Palma Real? I had someone I work with give me one when he found out I was into cigars and while they are by no means fantastic, I thought that it was a decent go to smoke. I could be way off on whats deemed good but I enjoyed it and at $60 for 50 on ci thats really cheap

Cigars International has EST 1844s on sale. All 20 count boxes are currently $49.95. I've never tried them and don't have room for a box, so I picked up a 5er for $15. $3 a stick seemed like a decent deal.

Well I guess thats about what they were $3.00 sticks then they arn't bad just I was looking or more in an AJ stick but at that price not bad to keep around I guess

Hahaha I tried one, once. It was hands down the worst cigar of my life.
I imagine the flavor tasting like smoking a cockroach that was wearing a straw hat. <---nice review, right?
I will never again smoke one. I even skipped their booth at Cigarfest, they can keep them even if they are free.

I really like the Padilla Habano. Picked up a box of 20 torpedo from CI on a one day deal last week. $2 a stick. It's a good deal if it rolls around again and I would pay more than that for them. The Nestor Miranda Special Edition Torpedo Rosado 4.0" x 58 are $2 a stick right now too. Picked up 20. Good everyday sticks for the price IMHO.
