Cheap Smoke Thread

[GreySmoke]

To be perfectly honest after 25 years - life's to short for cheap smokes. I would rather seek out a great deal on a great smoke so I tend to look at c-bid, famous aucton, and jr's auctions. I watch the boards for vendor deals and I gift and trade a bunch. Not to say that all smokes I like are pricy I'm in no way a snob (no reference to the cigar forum) for example the Sol Cubana Cuban Cabinet is a very fine smoke at around $2. As someone stated in another thread after 25 years I should know what I like.

Great we will add that to the list. We are simply constructing a reference guide for noobs or someone looking for a great smoke at a decent price. Sometimes I feel a lot of these cigars are over looked because there not popular enough...Who says a cheap smoke cant be great?

Back when they were under $20 a box, I would buy the La Vieja Habana Fumas by Drew Estate. I wish they still made the originals. I bought a few boxes at $15/bx. Best stick for under a buck.

Omar Ortez Originals and Maduros.

Best cheap smoke lately is the Famous Nicaraguan 7000. Am probably wrong, but I think this is a Don Pepin Garcia cigar made for Famous.
Scored some maduro torpedos for $26 a bundle at cigarauctioneer in November, but the torpedos have not been around lately. Should have bought 18 bundles, because I've been smoking this cigar more and more.
Pro: They have loads of spicy flavor.
Con: They burn fast.
Best: They're cheap. And free shipping on a bundle.

I just ordered a box of the La Vieja Habana and I saw that they're on the list here, but I was wondering what people had to say about them.

I think the whole line is pretty solid for what you pay. I prefer the Maduro's, & the Cameroon, but like I said... They're all pretty tasty IMO.

I have a hard time believing that you will dissapointed for the $$$ spent.

I have only had the maduros, but I think they are a great smoke for the money. Check out ERdM Robusto. You can get a box of 20 from atlanticcigar.com for $60, shipped.

I think you're right about DPG - very good sticks.

Thanks for the accolades, ripper. I'll neither confirm nor deny any claims as to where they come from but you nailed everything else. The Torpedo Maduros were a one-time shot come and gone but we'll have a steady supply of the other sizes. Not my personal favorite house blend but damn close to it.

Spill it Humberto, what is your favorite FSS House blend?

BTW, I have my last of your Cajones cigars in my portable humi right now; will probably get torched tomrorrow or Thursday..

[smokehouse]

Had a Blue Label from CI yesterday. Not a bad smoke, for only having a couple weeks rest. Got a few more to try after they sit a little longer.

I asked a Famous flunky if these cigars were by DPG. His reply was "I won't deny it."
Scored 2 bundles of the 7000 maduro torpedos for $26 each from cigarauctioneer when the line was introduced in November. Superb construction, emphatic tobacco flavor tinged with spice in a consistent everyday smoke. Have yet to encounter a bummer cigar. And shipping is free.
My guy at Famous said the torpedos are not available for now, so would substitute the maduro toros. Have not tried the natural cigars. Any of yinz tried them?

I'm not your flunky...

My favorite house blend varies just about every week. Currently, I'm on a Pai Gow kick. Med-Full bodied sweet tipped cigar.. Similar to La Fontana or Baccarat. My all-time favorite, though, has got to be Puros Huerfanos 681. But I can't talk about that one. The manufacturer has us on a stupid gag order. I can only say that it's an identical blend to something far more expensive and highly touted all over the boards. If you're so inclined, I challenge you guys to figure it out. Consensus opinions on these sort of things are usually pretty accurate, though.
