Smokes on the cheap...

IndyRob · 11-07-2008, 08:43 AM

I apologize if this has been discussed already but I didn't see a thread for it, so I thought I would start one. If you know of a pre-existing thread for this, please post the link and feel free to close this one. Meanwhile....

I'm looking for running list of good smokes on the cheap. I was hoping we could limit the list to cigars that we can currently buy, and and nothing over $3.00 a stick. Here the ones that I know of, and currently smoke. I hope you add to the list as well. Sorry, my addition to this is rather small. I'm trying to find some more cheap smokes for myself...

Thanks!

Under $1.00:

Don Rubio
Flor De Jose

Under $2.00:

Argyle
Fine Catch
Flor de Oliva Gold

Under $3.00:

Benchmade
Sancho Panza & Sancho Panza Double Maduro

El Mejor Emeralds are tasty when they are on.

Scottw · 11-07-2008, 08:49 AM

You can get Oliva series O 5 packs on CI for $15.00. That's $3/stick .

Starchild · 11-07-2008, 08:55 AM

A few that I've found:
RP 2nds and X-outs for $2-3
Oliva Special G for around $2
Punch London Club $1.50
Tampa Sweethearts $1-2

Wow... Mine are over $5, and the Padron 2000 is one of my favorites.

11-07-2008, 09:24 AM

Padron 2000

i get em for 3 bucks a stick, cant be that

11-07-2008, 09:45 AM

I like the Vega Talanga Tercios from CI. A little over $1 a stick.

groogs · 11-07-2008, 09:52 AM

CFO #7, for $.50 they are hard to beat.

SUOrangeGuy · 11-07-2008, 10:22 AM

Punch Champion is under $3 if you buy them by the box.

shemp · 11-07-2008, 10:54 AM

Don kiki brown label 1.75
famous nic 1000 1.00
famous nic 3000 2.50

jaycarla · 11-07-2008, 11:05 AM

5 Vegas A Apex can be had $40-$43 a bundle on cbid.

Tampa Sweethearts are always solid. Bundle of #150's for $30.

Famous Nic 3000's under $50 a bundle (leave the torps alone, they suck)

Many Oliva's fall under the $4.00 a stick range. Someone mentioned the Special G, awesome smoke, one of my favorites. Buy the box of 48.

These would be my favorite cheaper smokes, there are hundreds more. I have had a couple JR Alts that were ok, just haven't tried too many of them.
Maybe I should get over there and get a bundle or two......

scroggers · 11-07-2008, 11:11 AM

Hte CFO Grafitti and grafitti liga are excellent smokes for 2 bucks a stick.

11-07-2008, 12:04 PM

Inexpensive tasty yardgars, work smokes etc, I enjoy are:
1. Flor De Oliva Madro (Robusto)= $1.52
2. Aspira Maduro (Toro)= $1.52
3. A. Fuente Curly Head Deluxe Maduro= $1.80
4. Famous Nicaraguan 3000 (Robusto)= $2.10
5. Indian Tabac Super Fuerte (Robusto)= $2.24 (PROBLEM: About every 3rd one I smoke has a draw, burn problem, but the flavor is good. Just be forewarned)
6. Gispert (Belicoso)= $2.32
7. Sancho Panza Double Maduro (Robusto)= $2.90
8. Fonseca 8-9-8= $3.00
I'm a FF/Paramedic so my everday smokes are around the $6-$10 range, but at work I can't stand discarding any cigar over $6.00. So, while at the Firehouse the above mentioned are great smokes that I don't mind throwing out when I go on a call. It's not that they aren't good, they are great stogies in the price range you menitoned. And yes, I still hate throwing these out, it just doesn't hurt as bad.
Enjoy your search, just remember this is all matter of opinion.

TripleF · 11-07-2008, 08:10 PM

The Alcazar Maduro's are pretty dang tasty and can be found for unfer $3.00 as well as the Perdomo Fresco's.

thecigarfo.com Great smokes and hard to beat at 3 times the price. Don Kiki Brown Botellas are great with a little age.
