Cheapies that are actually tasty?

[ENV]

So I received the latest J R Cigars magazine. I see a lot of cheaper smokes that look tasty for pretty cheap prices per box. Examples are Las Cabrillas, La Finca, La Corona, La Aurora, Room 101 by Camacho, etc. There are quite a few.

If you know of any hidden gems please let me know. I know my collection of premiums is pretty set for me for now but I want to find some very tasty budget smokes.

Thank you in advance,

-Eddy

Subscribed. Good question. But people are gonna say well it depends on you preference........ I still like the 5vegas and Pinar del Rio's. I grab a bundle of an assorted mix whenever I can.

I picked up a mazo of 20 PDR Fumas. They're cute and only $7 plus shipping on cbid. Works out to 35¢ each so, even if they suck, I can foist them off on "friends" with a "Dude, you gotta try these, they're amazing!"

Or bomb people here <grin>

HDM Palmas Extra

I picked up the same thing a few months back for $10 shipped. I smoked one and it sucked bad so I am putting some time on them and will try again later. If they stick suck then the go in the moochador.

Which "same thing" - the PDR Fumas or the HDM Palmas?

Depends what you think is cheap. for me. Padron 000's. Asylum schizos, Oliva infernos (only available on famous) tatuaje series P (with some rest) and the nica rustica is not* bad for about 7$ a stick.

Okay - good to know. Granted, my expectations were/are really low so they are almost guaranteed to exceed my expectations. But I did notice that once I got them out of the cellophane (not individually wrapped) and into my tuppidor, they started to open up aromatically. So I am hoping that, in a few months when it's warm enough to sit on the back patio in the evening that they'll have mellowed out and will be an okay "everyday" smoke.

Also, looking at all the different shades of the wrappers (there is everything that looks like Connecticut to Maduro) that just because one sucks, that a second one may suck less.

Lol. Well the schizos are like 1$ a stick. And the Oliva infernos are about the same both awesome in my opinion. And the tatuaje serie P are 60$ a box so that's pretty cheap too.

Good point. $7 a stick isn't "cheap" for me but it's not at the top of my budget, either.
