All of mine! I'm smoking a Don Mateo Honduran right now and it's pretty decent for a $1.60 smoke. Nice white ash with an ever-so-slight hint of anus :lol: Nah, they're not that bad. Simp
 
Simp, do you really mean the least expense or the cheaperst. They aren't the same thing.
 
I always thought they were one in the same. Enlighten me.
 
But these $1.60 smokes that I bought yesterday are pretty good.
 
Yeah, but I'm afraid that the thread is a bust already though.
 
hookers and vw's huh?

oh wait, cigars
cheapest i have is probly the last cigar.com cuban label. or the cusano p1.
 
Hookers and cars. I like the way this thread is evolving. No seriously, Cigar.com Cameroon Label. Definately inexpensive but not cheap :D
 
Right now the cheapest in my box is a Flor de Oliva and a Padron Fuma. Can't go wrong with those for the price! Also, I've got a cigar we're coming out with pretty soon. It's pretty good for a buck a pop. Be on the look out for a giveaway with that one, hopefully sooner than later!! :lol: :lol:
 
I'll second the Flor de Olivas...I have gone through several bundles of the torpedos. Huge bang for the buck and pretty consistent. For a few more bucks I have been enjoying some Puros Indios special aged pyramides, these have usually been great, but not as consistent as the Flor de Olivas. One cigar I really miss is the Fighting Cock "Flyboy" churchill. These were a very economical stick from the Phillipines. They had a unique, slightly salty, medium flavor. Unfortunately they were moved to Nicaragua and the blend changed to a non-descript mild flavor. Some time ago I came across a cigar oddly named "Double Hapiness", they recaptured the flavor of the Phillipine "Flyboy", but they too disappeared. When you find something inexpensive that you like...stock up!
 
I just recently bought a few Sancho Panza's ($3.50) and Indian Tabac's (Rocky Patel's original brand, also $3.50, while I wait for my RP Vintage 1990's to get a few months older). The Indians are better than I thought they would be, getting a bit hot at the end. I didn't light up the Sancho Panza's yet, but decided to investigate when Cigar Aficionado wrote them up as a great, inexpensive smoke, rated in the 90's.

I don't count the Don Elias torpedos that my brother bought very cheap from Thompson's, since I have choked down three and they haven't gotten any better. I think they were having a sub-$2 clearance on them.
 
Believe me, the letter T has been taken out of my cigar alphabet. On-line prices not competitive, the one order I allowed by phone arrived with doubled quantity and hiked-up price (sent back), and two local stores with better per-stick prices than T's by-the-box stick price.

What were those $1.60 cigars that were referenced before? I'll keep track of some bargains like this, in case I get a chance to try some.
 
I used to smoke lots of Flor de Olivas with the Habano 2000 wrapper. Unfortunately those have gone the way of the dodo. I think they're using that wrapper for more expensive cigars these days. Their "regular" smokes are great, too. The least expensive cigar in my box right now is a variety of the cigar.com house labels. I especially like the cameroon label.

As far as cheap vs. inexpensive goes, there are lots of cheap cigars I wouldn't put my hands on, but to find a nice inexpensive smoke is bliss.
 
The least expensive cigar in my humidor is a few house brand cigars from a cigar shop back home in TN. They tasted great at first, but they started tasting not so great with age. :roll:
 
Who says hookers are cheap? I agree with the Flor De Olivas. Solid cigar for the money. Long fill and nice flavor. The Olivas know how to make cigars.
