Fellow Brothers of the Leaf,

Lately I've been smoking and greatly enjoying a lot of Kelner-blended cigars: Davidoff, Griffins, and especially Avo. But alas, all of these are very expensive cigars, and I'm not a rich man, so it's a habit I can't keep up for long. What I'm looking for is a cheaper cigar that has the same elements I've been enjoying: very smooth woody flavour, not too much of a nicotine hit to smoke early in the day, etc.

I love a good full-bodied cigar, but it's these medium-bodied smokes that I keep coming back to. Any recommendations?

Sincerely,

Chris

smoke less!

Bah, that requires willpower. I'm trying to have my cake and eat it too here. Given how many cigar brands there are, it must be possible...

do a goggle search for 3 x 3, 4 x 4, and Private Stock cigars. from what i know, davidoff factories, high end leaf that has cosmetic flaws, so not rolled into premium cigars. this flawed LEAF IS ROLLED INTO seconds, and shipped to retailers. so you wont have a true blended cigar, and it wont e aged like a davidoff. i know some guys who love them, and they are about $3.http://www.bestcigarprices.com/3-x-3-cigars/

Yeah, those Private Stock aren't bad at all -- my b&m sells them -- and they have some similarities to the Davidoffs as far as being the same kind of woody/grassy flavor profile....but they're nowhere near as refined or as expertly blended.

Worth trying for sure.

cuesta rey, montesino, and la unica are very good smokes that fit that profile!!

I agree with a previously mentioned idea...smoke better less often.
