Thread: Looking For a Good "Low Budget Stick" & Bundle Recommendations?..

    Default Looking For a Good "Low Budget Stick" & Bundle Recommendations?..

    Hello Folks, I'm really enjoying my Fuente "Hemingways" in the evening but I'm also looking for a good five buck or less smoke to enjoy at work. I've tried Toppers ($2.50ea) and Arturo Fuentes "Fumars" (3.00ea) both with mixed results. I even went so far as to try an Antonio y Cleopatra. Yeah. That lasted about three mins before gifting the pack to my co worker He hasn't talked to me since!

    Also, any recommendations of decent bundles would be more than helpful. I'm looking to load up an empty humidor for some long term aging. Sorry if my questions are overly novice like and thanks in advance...

    I'm in pretty much the same boat as you and would recommend trying the Perdomo lot 23 and Savinelli Nicaragua Reserve.

    For me, it's pretty tough to beat an Perdomo Fresco Toro Maduro for less than $2.50 a piece. As I experience more and better cigars (thanks to the folks on this forum btw), the Fresco is less appealing. However, if you are in the same boat I was about a year ago.....these will be perfect to get the hobby started.

    PS If you prefer a bit milder smoke, try the naturals.

    Not a big fan of bundle cigars, but the Honduran Factory Corojos - from JR Cigars - is a decent cheap smoke (Plasencia factory).

    Smoke less, and smoke better shit. Keep it about 6 bucks, and you'll be ok.

    Search is your friend, there are a couple of threads with many recommendations for low-cost yet decent sticks. One of those is the Fumadore by Pepin, available at Holts dot com.

    The only sub $5 cigar I can recomend is Nick's sticks. They come in CT., maduro and sungrown and in a wooden box. I'm fond of the sungrown.

    Do draft dodgers have reunions? And if so what do they talk about?
