Welcome to the board. Don't give up on premium cigars.....they don't have floor sweepings in them.
Ain't that the truth!!!

I first "converted" from gas station cigars to "premium" cigars quite a number of years ago when a tobacconist did an "autopsy" on the Garcia y Vega I so dearly loved (at that time). I could not believe my eyes! Bits of news paper, bailing string and other "crap" that had been clearly swept off the floor and into my cigar...

Churchill. I hear what you're saying - they're cheap and "good", but you really should consider smoking only premium cigars.

I'd also recommend CAO Gold and Montessino - both of which are reasonably priced and fairly mild.
