    Default My recommendations for "inexpensive" smokes...

    Maria Mancini Magic Mountains (through JR Cigar mainly) - All the hype on this one seems to be true. I will admit that it is a fairly one dimensional cigar but the one dimension it has tastes really good!

    La Unica bundles - Made by Fuente - mild but a nice smoke - Not a "seconds" line.

    Punch Rothchilde is EMS (sorry guys, I'm not a maduro fan) - A great valuve in a cigar.

    Gispert brand - I've had both toro sized and churchilsl from this line and for the money I am impressed.

    Roly brand - Seconds from Rolando Reyes' "Puros Indios" line. Again, impressive for the low cost.

    Cuba Aliados - Another by Rolando Reyes - Not a seconds line - Great cigar with a nice bite to it.

    Consuegra line - Villazon seconds (Punch, ErDM, Hoyo, etc.) Great prices through JR. One thing with this line though is that you get a truly mixed lot. One never knows what you'll get blend wise but usually always good.


    There's many more out there and all have their favorites.

    Being the CigarSnob that I am I'm not an "expert" on "affordable" cigars but I tell ya, Cuba Aliados are pretty darn good as well as Consuegras.

    Personally, I'd take a Cuba Aliados over a Connie but either one will do.

    There are lots of short filler and/or machine made Cuban cigars that can be found for less than $2.00/stick too

    My favorite along those lines are Quintero Brevas. If you shop around, you can find boxes of these for $45.00 (that price includes shipping). These are short filler, hand made, "Tripa Corta" as opposed to "Tripa Larga" which are long filler, hand made. "Mecanizado" are machine made.
