Less costly alternative cigar

[fuzzycrabs]

No I haven't but honestly $2.80 a stick is cheap enough to find out without breaking the bank. cheap alternative's, are cheap. but it's a recommendation, no one has to take it.

On the other hand, if he does just buy 1 single from Famous he'll end up paying 5 bucks or so on shipping and end up at square one with a dog rocket.

Trust me, I've gone / go the route of inexpensive cigars, and through trial and error (more error) I've found a few that are pretty darn good, but not comparable to an AF Hemi.

These of course are IMHO:
Famous Nic 3000s
El Cobre (although they are jacking them up)
Famous VSL Honduran
Famous Maduritos
Consuergra 84s
Sancho Panza
Really, most 1000series Padrons are inexpensive

Of course, none of these are like a Hemmingway ~ Natural or Maduro

It also depends what we're talking about as "cheap."

My idea of less expensive is 4-6$ for a cigar. I have been looking at the reviews and the Padron's seem to be enjoyed and from looking at CI some of them are in medium range. And the price seems to be less also.
My problem from reading this is that my intro was to one of the best.
Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, yes, and yes. I especially love the little maduritos.

I don't know that anyone is saying there are none better than the Hemingway, I think they are saying there are none just like the Hemingway. There is a big difference there. If given the choice, I'd probably pick most Padron over the Hemingway. I'd even choose Sarge's recommendation over a Hemingway.

Of course that's just one man's opinion. YMMV.

Stopped by a very small cigar shop and there was a woman from H. Upmann giving a presentation on their 1844 Reserve. I purchased a few and got a freebie Toro. Never been lucky enough to walk into a demo and she knew cigars.
Thanks for the help
