a good low price cigar???

**jsc4324** · 02-07-2007, 05:15 PM

I am getting married at the end of the summer and want to do a cigar theme. There will be a few people that smoke cigars regularly, but many others generally don't. Can anyone recommend a good, but low price cigar that can come bundled. I don't want to waste money on good sticks for people to light up and then toss because they don't really like them or are just smoking them b/c they are there.

I have checked online a bit, and found the "buck-a-stick" on Cigars International. If anyone has tried any of these I would appreciate some input, or direct me at something else.

Thanks in advance.

Jeff

This one's always difficult, but there are some cigars like JR Alts which are a well made cigar with decent tobacco that may not appeal to someone that prefers Fuentes and Ashtons, but to someone that smokes a couple cigars a year, they are after the experience and as long as it doesn't take like a turd they will be happy.

Just remember, if you buy a bundle of crap and only 5 people smoke them at the party, then you have 20 more to get rid of, and the price per stick just climbed 400% If you get a decent cigar for a little more money that you like then you may not smoke them all at once but they are around.

JR Alts, new ones are not too bad.
Consuegras. Seconds and some great deals.
Flor de Olivas good all around.
Victor Sinclair Vintage
5 vegas
Pirates Gold. Not bad, but not great
Fire. decent, not great
Flor de todo

Keep your eyes on the CI and JR specials and auctions. If you got some time before the event you can lowball bid and wait until you get them for as low as possible.

I've been looking at the Roly seconds (click here)... One person suggested that they were acceptible for an everyday "yard work" smoke... I haven't tried any of the other Reyes cigars, but have read good things.

Personally I'm a big fan of these. As a poor college student I love smoking these because they're cheap and one of the best for the price. Persaonlly I'm not a big fan of the flor de olivias but to each his own.

For cheap smokes:
Roly's
La Vieja Habana by Drew Estates
Punch Seconds with a Maduro wrap

if you want to go really cheap I like some called Quorum(sp?) they're super cheap like $1 a stick but they smell great and are about as good as you can get for $1

Never had a bad Sancho Panza. I had 2 boxes of the original and switched to double maduro when they showed. Been smokin dm's ever since. There you have a light wrapper version and a stronger maduro version. And the Roly's someone mentioned really suprised me. I didn't know cheap bundle cigars could be that good till I read about them here on cigarsmokers. Not the greatest looking wrapper, but does the job well.

Agreed on all except the Quorums. Had one once and did not care for it. LVH would probably be my choice in that price range.

How many cigars you think you'll need? 25, 50, 100?

Some don't like the short filler Arturo Fuente Curly Head, but I think it is a pretty good cigar for the price. A little too mild for me but it has a nice tobacco taste. Box of 40 for $64

I also like the Fuente petit coronas, they are more expensive, but also considered more of the premium line in Fuente. Box of 25 for $69

You may also want to consider the maduro Famous exclusives here: http://www.famous-smoke.com/cigars/s....cfm/st/search Don't bother with the naturals, they are really bland and not worth smoking in my opinion.

Me personally I wouldn't want to be passing out cigars I wouldn't smoke myself, and I have a boxes of the Fuente petit corona and Famous madurito in the coolidor now.

Agreed. Guess who's gonna be smoking the leftovers.

UpStateMike gave some great suggestions. My pick of his list would be the Flor de Olivas.

you can get a box of sancho panza double maduros off famoussmoke for 35 bucks, its a great smoke IMO, it was one of my first cigars so i know its good for a noob.

I second the Sancho Panza's. Very good. I have one on deck to smoke for my long drive after work. I smoked 2 in one day last week. I enjoy the Quixote size.

I also second the Famous Buenos Maduros. At .75 a piece, it's a surprisingly good smoke. I believe it's like $29.99 for 40 sticks.

Lots of good suggestions up there ^. I'm not to sure on the JR's. I've tried a couple and hated them. But I've heard there are some good ones, and I've heard the Ults are alot better.

Consuerga (Connie) #9... good small smoke and the price is right... I would get the Conn wrapper because guys who don't normally smoke might not enjoy a Maduro. I just picked up another bundle for myself from JR... Bundle of 25 for $26...

If you never had one.... let me know and I can send a couple to try
