CI Knock-offs

[Porch Dweller]

Skip the knock-offs, go for the "Seconds". The AJ Fernandez ones are damned good. The Ligero-Laced Seconds are Cains; the "D" is the Daytona, "F" is Cain F Habano, etc. If you like Cains they're definitely worth a try; I can't tell the difference between the seconds and the "regular" ones.

And as others have said, here's a great thread with recommendations for inexpensive yet tasty smokes: http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=643

Seconds are definitely the way to go. Cruise the devil site for bundles. Two of my favorites are the Rocky Patel Vintage seconds and the Man o Wars. Both tasty sticks that can be had for under $50 per bundle.

James is right. The Ligero-Laced seconds are a good deal. I like the M -- for maduro.
