Cheap Smoke Thread

GreySmoke · 10-16-2008, 09:58 AM

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.

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.

Moderately Cheap-

La Traviata
El Baton

Really Cheap-
Tabacos Baez Serie SF
Diesel Unholy Cocktail
La Vieja Habana

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 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..

I just noticed you didn't include the Famous Nicaraguan 5000.
I personally find this selection even tastier than the 3000.
And at $46/20-pack (including shipping), it's one of the best deals out there.

I'm curious who makes the different Nic blends. You hear a lot of buzz on the 3000s and almost nothing on the others.

Mayorga Maduro Torpedo

I've gone through 3 or 4 boxes and find the flavors deep and satisfying, I'd even say complex.

Beware that last month I received two boxes with grey wrappers, not the usual coffee-black, one of which was moldy, or something funky; but I saw no fuzz. These weren't smokeable. My vendor, the Cigar Place, readily exchanged the first box and refunded my money after receiving the second dud box. So I betook myself to JRs and got it right.
