Less costly alternative cigar

I know some people do smoke to look cool and because of cheap prices.

Thanks to you all for direction!
I found my replacement for the Fuente Hemingway and it is another Fuente the Short Story. Great cigar, nice taste, wife like the room note.
And they are a lot less expensive.
The saleman at 2guys in NH introduced me to Fuente Between the Lines way outside of my wallet. That's a once a year cigar.

Cool!! Not surprising that a Hemingway Signature and a Hemingway Short Story would taste similar since they are different vitolas in the same line. Check this link out for the Hemingway story, as well as other rare/limited cigar info: http://www.vitolas.net/displayimage.php?album=35&pos=6

Andrew is downright goofy about Fuente stuff - there's no better place to look...

Arturo Fuente Curly Head has been a favorite of mine for years. When I first bought them you could buy a box of 40 for $15 or $20. Those days are gone of course. And my favorite version of the Curly Head, the maduro, is now only available in the 'DeLuxe' presentation, which adds a band and cellophane.

I've smoked better looking, more expensive cigars I did not enjoy as much.

Between Famous and CI, you can frequently find a sampler of better cigars for around $2.50 - $3.00 a stick; not a bad idea since finally it's a matter of taste and a sampler is a cheaper way to experiment.

I have never tried them, but I found this link the other day when I was researching the glue issue I found w/the Short Story

By the time I add freight into the cost of a 5 pack, the cost was very close to price I can buy the real thing locally ($5.45 each). I don't know that it's even worth trying, but would love to see a review on here if anybody tries them.
