Cheap Smoke Thread - Page 13

The Lot 826 Slow aged from Perdomo is my #1 favorite cheap smoke. These sticks taste phenomenal. Their only downfall is the construction and for the price there really is no complaint.

I smoke many a few of the Slow-Aged, too.
The trick to avoiding construction issues (wrapper crapping)
is to store them at 70 rh. I keep these in a separate humidor
at the higher level, & no problems for years. Try it.

What do you think?

Maybe it's me, but I've NEVER liked ANY Victor Sinclair cigar I've smoked.
After sampling about 4-5 different ones, I gave up on the entire line.

Not just you. Only ones I ever thought were any good at all were the little 4x40 triple corojo's that came in tins. Oh, and almost forgot....the primeros are not bad for what they are: a cheap, mild and fairly creamy connie.

I like the Omar Ortez sticks

Guys, I'm all over this...If there is a crap cigar bomb, I'm all over it. I got way excited about cigars and found a bunch of "great deals" that turned out to be not so great. Tell me where to send them!

Split em' between Frank & I "Steve" I'm always wanting to try new things since I am fairly new...or better yet send them to the troops (or is that too harsh for them?)

I've been offloading my infused to the troops (got a local girl serving in the sandbox...she's new to cigars and likes the pretty flavored ones)

Ones I have that I'll never smoke...a box of Carinos, THREE boxes of Augusto Reyes, a bunch of Oliveros XL (for Men)...yes it actually says that on the label. And a large assortment of other CBID orphans.

Never had any of those so I can't attest, however I am sure you could unload them on the troops. Or BOMB FRANK!

Do you have any Maduros?

The Carinos are maduros. They sell them at Famous. If you want them, they are yours!
