    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.

    My cheap smoke of choice would be a JL Piedra Cremas. At around 50/box they are a bargain for me.

    I would have to agree, my order arrived today and I've smoked 2 already . Not the prettiest looking smokes, but perfectly acceptable taste. Thanks for the heads up on these.

    Cheers

    Good to hear bro. Hoping they came with no border issues?

    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.
