Goin Cheap

oooo35980 · 03-25-2012, 11:57 PM

So looking in my humidor all I see are 8-9 dollar smokes, nice but not when you smoke 2 or 3 per day. This paycheck I'm going to get some budget smokes to lessen the pain in my wallet each time I light up. For Maduro I'm going with Nica Libre, for an early in the day smoke I'm going to pick up some Arganese Connecticut. I want one more bundle of cheapos but I have looked through the cheap smokes thread and nothing really jumps out at me. Looking for something decidedly medium, any recommendations?

Didn't we just get new smileys???

Try the Pioneer Valley Maduro. Good solid medium smoke that typically goes for 25-30 a box on C-bid. I love these things as my cheapo smokes.

careful shopping on the devils site will get you middle of the road (and better) smokes for 2-3.00.

I love 1844's, most AJ Fernandez I have had and Argonese madros.All 2 bucks or less.

Next, someone will recommend you do a search.

Seriously, when it comes to budget smokes, there are two I've found that I actually enjoy. Holt's offers the Little Havana Overrun Small Batch from time to time. Famous has it's Famous 3000 brand. Both are inexpensive, and IMHO, decent smokes. In terms of flavor they are full bodied, but won't try to blow the top of your head off like at least half the stuff being marketed today.

I am already picking up some famous nic 3ks for the wife, she thinks they taste like bread,

I wish I could articulate better what I am looking for. Medium may not be the word, something not Maduro and not Connecticut, I have so many Maduros I need a break now and again. The arganese are mainly for when I want something light and creamy. I really enjoyed an illusione epernay I had, bit light in the flavor department but it had the flavors I like, just a bit weak. Let me know if I'm making any sense.

I like alot of Alec Bradley stuff and they can be found pretty cheap. Maxx is a good one.

I"m pretty done with Bundles and cheap smokes (esp after smoking that GPEEC-EL). I got lucky with a few bundles of Consuegra #17 (EMS and Mad). They must have been laying around the warehouse for awhile because I recv'd them with the cello already yellow. I have about 3-4 bundles of both and are great "yard 'gars".

I wanted to try the Famous Nic but they refuse to ship to my APO/DPO address so I'll have to pass on it.

I had trouble with them in the past. However phone call fixed it first time -- second phone call the next time and no problems since.

Pinar del Rio always goes for pretty cheap on cbid. They seem like they would be worth a shot. Almost always $10-$15 for a 5-pack
