Cheap Cigar

[PetersCreek]

Many years ago, I would occasionally buy a "drugstore" cigar that I don't quite remember the name of...Black Jack or some such, I think. I recall that it wasn't a bad tasting maduro for the money.

Life's too short to smoke cheap cigars.

That said, there is nothing wrong with an inexpensive cigar, but if you bought it from a place that doesn't have a humidor, it's a cheap cigar. I was in a liquor store last week and noticed they had a humi case and among the other (cheap) cigars was a box of Partargas Black Label... If they hadn't been grossly overpriced I may grabbed one.

Majestic Liquor has a Humidor at every location in my area. Good thing is, they do not kill you with a markup. I get Torano 1959 torps there for about $3, or Torano's The Brick for $1.85. Not bad at all, in a pinch.

Definitely NOT the "real" PuroBrat due to lack of subtle mooch attempts.

There is one cigar that's worth smoking that you can find on the drug store shelf. It's Cuesta-Rey Cabinet #95. A nice medium-mild long filler smoke with a cameroon wrapper. They aren't generally too cheap, and the plastic bag in which they're packed contains a small humi-pack. The one's I bought were still a little dry, but not terrible. Rum Runners are another decent cigar you can sometimes find.

If I needed a fix I would drive to a cigar shop, I've driven about 45min to get a cigar.
That being said in the spirit of the thread I would buy a five pack of Black&Milds, It's pipe tobacco and it's where my hobby first started. so smoking one would not be the worst thing I've ever done.

That's how subtle the mooch is, CC.

He's not putting his mooch in this post so that he can say to you that he doesn't mooch... Can't you see the pattern???

Now, now! You can find Cuesta-Rey (an Arturo Fuente brand) and Macanudo in many drug stores, so it's not a total loss.
