Favorite Cigar Under $2.00

duckmanco · 10-28-2008, 11:33 PM

La Vieja Habana - The Early Years Silencio 4x46 PC box of 24 for $39.99 One of my favorite PC's for flat out Nicaraguan rich flavor with a chocolaty finish. Awesome short smoke that I believe also fits your maduro requirement.

I also like the Special G Maduro and the LVH Silencio.
But my favorite? How about FOUR CFO #7 Robustos! 50 cents each, they are hard to beat!

Lucky_Hippo · 10-29-2008, 05:47 AM

I'm gonna agree with Duck and say LVH, but I'm gonna switch it up and say the LVH Corojo. You can get the Bombero (6.0" X 50) for under 2 bucks all day long. These are great little jewls that often get dismissed due to the mixed filler, but the flavor and construction out way that point by miles.

I second the Sancho Panza DM and the Oliva special G. I've also been enjoying Punch London Club Maduros, 5"x40 $1.50

What is the CFO? I tried to search CFO but it was too short. I saw them mentioned before, and I tried google but no luck.

They have several samplers, but value wise the Blend #7 robusto cant be beat. You are close enough to give Barb a call, she is great. If you get a bundle of #7 robustos and dont like them. LMK and I will buy the balance.

Well it's not every day that I happen upon a testimonial from someone I respect that concerns a cigar I would never smoke. Now I will politely smoke one if given to me, but I would not be buying any, for sure. Well, this new troop support bender I got on recently has got me thinking about all kinds of different things, and I have been sampling the wares to see if I am really a dyed in the wool Havana only guy. WE SHALL SEE about this mythic Blend #7 robusto. I went ahead and grabbed two bundles with NO idea of what to expect, and in reality, they are going to troops anyway, but I will be smoking at least three to get a feel for what I am sending out. One thing I DID manage to remember, JR Alternatives are an alternative only to smoking your own feces. I remembered that from before, but for some reason I figured that times were different now. Nope, still crap, but about a buck 50 each. Poor troops

But no more of them, I promise.

I have some Famous Nic 1000s that taste Cuban. They are rumored to have a sweetened cap, but these don't seem to. They snork good.

Where is Bobarian and his CFOs? They are cheap, good cigars.

Honestly I do not know of a good cigar under $2.00, but at $2.14 I love the Tampa Sweetheart #500 Maduro, 5x50. I just burned thru a bundle in less than 3 weeks.

Les Nessman · 06-10-2009, 12:41 PM

Famous Nicaraguan Maduro

Normally a little over $2, but Famous has a one day special making them under $2. Hands down my favorite cheap maduro (favorite size is the robusto). There is speculation that it is made by Oliva, but that was never confirmed by either Famous or Oliva.

cigarmonkel · 06-11-2009, 01:42 AM

CFO #7's you cannot beat. Best bang for your... not even a buck out there.

I did a blind taste test with my friend, he picked that over a 15$ gurkha, then again... i don't blame him.

Gurkha's *insert throwing up smiley face here*

OLS · 06-11-2009, 08:33 AM

Without a doubt 4 for 1 Punch Coronas.
