OT: Cigar Aficionado's

[Uncle Ruckus]

A friend at work has got me on them recently on our down time. I'm probably smoking 1-2 a week at home and a good bit while I'm away for work. I've had everything from Cubans to $1 cheapos. I've taken to liking Nicaraguan tobacco I'm not picky seeing as I'm still inexperienced. Looking for some good suggestions for inexpensive ones to take to work. I usually smoke Obsidian when I'm home since I've found that I really like them. The local tobacco stores selection is kind of overwhelming when I go in and I don't want to buy something that's a waste of money. Just looking for some good, inexpensive non-flavored smokes. What's out there?

What do you consider inexpensive?

I would recommend buying a few samplers from Cigars International and seeing what brands and strengths you prefer.

Perdomo Wheels are a good inexpensive everyday smoke IMO.

I consider inexpensive $2, something I can smoke daily at work and not brand my bank over the course of a month. The guy at the cigar store told me about some that were in that price range that I'm going to try next time.

Acid cigars....Kuba Kuba.

About $7.50 per cigar.

Try one. Buddy who ownes a smoke shop near nashville turned me on to them.

The Perdomo's I recommended above is worth a purchase. Best I have had for the price. Now in the 6-8 dollar range like Mount Lefroy mentioned opens up tons of quality choices.

Any of the Pinar del Rio collection.

I can't help you much in the $2 range but if you love Nicaraguan tobacco, try a 4 pack of "papas fritas" from Drew Estate. It will run you about $26 and is well worth it. They are made from the cuttings of the T52 and #9. If you've never had one of them, they are great cigars at $15 each.

Ram Rod Deputy if you can handle cheroots or Kentucky cheroots...both if you can find them...five pack for about $10

When I used to smoke cigars, Acid, Macanudo, and Romeo y Julieta were my main smokes. Affordable and in most smoke shops and cigar bars.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I had several monte cristo's last week on a bahamian beach. Pretty damn enjoyable.

First things first, there is NO good $2 cigar.
I also have developed a love of a good Nicaraguan Habano cigar. My search over the last 6 or 7 years has led me to a few affordable smokes that fit the parameters.
Red Witch, New World, Wicked Indie and Perdomo's new Nicarauan all a about $5 to $7 dokkars per stick.

Keep your number of smokes to a minimum. This habit can get expensive real fast.
