Your favorite affordable (Cheap) cigar?

[Deacon Frank]

Swishers, Backwoods, and all the flavored cigars (Game, etc) are readily available at gas stations.

In my experience, the better (tastier) option for a small cigar: Parodi Kings. These are dry-cured so they don't require humidification. They don't burn too fast, either, about 20-30 minutes if you pace your smoke. They should work out to about $1 apiece if you get the box of 50. Made in PA.

Those are quite tasty. I haven't tried the kings but I tried the Ammezzati (smaller version of the same cigar). It was quite tasty. I couldn't believe how long it burnt though. The small ones I had burnt for around 45 min. I got a 3 pack of the kings to try and I'm kinda scared how long they will burn haha. I may cut them in half . They do taste good though! The villager cigars (air cured as well) are quite good and inexpensive too

Backwoods for me. 5 for a couple bucks. I feel like Clint Eastwood

Reportedly he hated the cigars he had to smoke, which help lend to the scowl.

45 minutes! I must be puffing too fast. You're right, though, they are tasty little cigars. I like that they taste like natural tobacco. They aren't complex like a rolled cigar, but they're not supposed to be.

Thanks for the Villiger recommendation. I keep meaning to pick up a pack. Man...I just got an order from P&C, too. Could've added to it and saved on shipping.

Only one I've tried so far was the villager export with the natural wrapper. I also grabbed a box of their premium #7 but haven't tried one yet. Gonna have to give their maduro ones a try soon. The natural ones are pretty mild.

 

[Austinoire]

Premium select by Ashton. They say it's their more affordable line, but I think they're 2nds. I discovered them @ Havana House in Austin, Tx. They come in maduro & natural in robusto, toro, Churchill & Gordo for $3.50-$4.99 a stick & are a respectable smoke.

 

[VeLoRoK]

Hoyo la Amistad by AJ is an excellent smoke that could easily retail for $10-12 and can be had for under $5 a stick. And I second the PDR 1878 line; I picked up 30 of the capa maduro for $45 through an auction. They're pretty tasty!

 

[Clay S]

Flor de Oliva Corojo's. Just under $5 from a local store, can be had for about half that mail order.

 

[DE Steve]

Another vote for Flor de Oliva, this time for Maduros
They can be had really cheap at the right time at auction: The Final Countdown | Your Cigar Auction Command Center

Good job Clay for digging this thread back up! As others have said, quality 2nds are a good option.
Close Outs are also good on CI, just picked up 20 La Perla Habana Black Pearl Morado double toro (6”x60)for $60 & they thru in 5 belicosos from $1.

I’ve always been a fan of F.X. Smith Tuscarora. Right now $73 for a box of 50.

Garcia Vega
Backwoods
Villiger
Havana Honeys

In my opinion, it’s really important to have a cheap cigar every now and then because why not?

 

[Bk124tt]

When you say cheap my mind went right to machine made cigars.
As an 18 year old I used to love the Hav-a-tampa jewels. That was more than 30 years ago.

 

[mark_08]

Chillin Moose, Drew Estate Factory Sungrown and Shade have been my everyday smokes for the last few months now. All three are very affordable.

 

[Habanos]

I like the Jose Piedra bundles. Nice, simple machine made smokes. La Flor de Cano too.

 

[Ponycarman]

Gotta look through this thread again and start trying some. My tupperdore is almost empty

 

[pault]

Brick house seconds are good,

Isle Del Sol from Drew Estates

 

[kluber]

Don pepin Garcia blue. But a heavy flavor.

 

[Clay S]

Ramrods are nice. Bourbon "infused". Gives a slightly sweet cherry flavor to me. Not for everyday though, the sweet would get old fast I think.
