    Default Opinions on new go-to smoke (short list).

    Hello folks,

    Another guy looking for the elusive "good n' cheap" smoke. Realistically, I just want a decent everyday or every few days smoke. Currently I have a few weeks worth of Tampa Sweethearts left, but I'll need something new soon. Please let me know what y'all think of the following:

    La Unica Maduro
    Flor de Olivia Corojo
    JR Special Jamaican
    Flor de Todo
    Puros Indios/Cuba Aliados bundle
    Perdomo Cuban Wheel

    I am especially interested in La Unica (although a little pricey for a bundle smoke). I was looking at the JR "Genuine Pre-Embargo" Counterfeits, but the reviews on CP were not encouraging. Thanks for your time, folks. All replies (and suggestions) are appreciated.

    If that's what I have to choose from, I choose the Puros Indios. You might also look at LVH or Connies in a similar price range.

    I'm personally not big on Corojo's......but the FdO is a good smoke, I usually pick up a few maduro's on each trip to the B/M...$2 for a toro. Nothinig exceptional, but a good consistent low price stick, imho. Punch London Club is another good choice, pretty inexpensive by the box and even by the single ( $1.85).

    Don Kiki Browns and Sancho Panza Double Maduro. You can get boxes for under $40. Definately my top choice for go to smokes. The Punch London Club, like ashauler said, is a good smoke.

    Try the Famous Buenos Maduritos. Link These come out to be about .75 a stick and are an excellent smoke for the price.

    You can get Indian Tubac on CigarBid.com for pretty cheap, even though I'm not a big fan it seems alot of people are. I do like the Cameroon Legend.

    Try a Nestor maduro, too.

    If the bolded maduritos above are the same that we traded for chefchris, I would agree that they are good smokes for the price.

    FDO maddies are good,

    Sancho Panza DM's are good

    I just picked up a box of London Club maddies today for $31 and we'll see how those work out.

    Another vote for Sanco Pana Double maduro. Also the Perdomo wheel. I used to get those locally and they dried up years ago. Thanks to this forum I found out about c-bid and have already ordered 2 wheels. Just remember that I liked them alot back then and they had a fairly delicate rosado wrapper.
