Good and Cheap?

Hey guys, I'm a newbie both to this forum and to cigars. I am currently deployed to afghanistan and have just recently found the pleasurable experience of smoking cigars. I have been trying several of the diffferent kinds available here at KAF, and as money is currently not an issue, the adventure has been very rewarding. My hands-down favorite here is the Montecristo No. 3, but when I return stateside in a few weeks, both cost and embargo with cuba will make this cigar unavailable. Is there a cigar of comparable taste at a reasonable, everday price?

Assuming you haven't been smoking fakes, NO.

Interesting name you have there?....You'll learn that a lot of the cigars on deployments were fake. Sad, but true. The best way to get Cubans is from troops on the KFOR missions and make sure they were purchased at the French or Danish PX.

I've been smoking for several years and I have yet to be able to develop the palate most of the members have on here. I'd recommend you check out Bobalu or the Cigar Factory (New Orleans). I've visited both of these and they are very supportive of troops. They'll help you pick a decent cigar. I'm a big fan of CAO Golds or a Clint when I just have time for a short smoke.

Good luck on the trip home

First of all make sure to stay low so you can come back and enjoy an alternative, all I can tell you is when you return you should try the Monticristo's that are rolled in the DOM REP, you will also find that Cuba has not put all they can in the smokes they are shipping out, they are in no way the same as they were many years ago, I know i'm not alone when I say that we have much better smokes than you will get ou of cuba my opinion just my opinion

Tell him BIG SARGE so true, they have so many fakes running around here and abroad. Like I said, you have just gotten into cigars, we have so many to choose from it's scary, you will not have a problem finding one or 100 you like
