Cheapies that are actually tasty?

[Dave]

I also got a 5er of the EPC Core Short Run 2013. Forget how much exactly -- it was more than the PDR but not by much. Anyway, it was delicious, and as far as I could tell every bit as good as some sticks that go for $5/$6 per.

Thought this was worth a bump since I'm absolutely ecstatic about these and almost feel guilty about 'stealing' them. I've been scooping them up from cbid for two and three bucks a piece. They are incredible. I'd put them up against any mild/medium-ish NC in a blind taste.
I'm a little concerned because I noticed that CI is out of boxes of robs, so these might be nearly done.

Henry Clay Brevas Finas (the whole line is cheap and great, but I enjoy the Brevas Finas size), Flores Y Rodriguez (a PDR stick), and got to go with the J Fuego Originals, especially to to the interesting back story http://halfwheel.com/j-fuego-origen-originals

La Aurora 107'is a great little stick for the price

Perla Del Mar are great box pressed Nics with a very creamy nutty flavor. B&Ms have em for $4-6.

CI Cohiba Knock-Off is my cheapie pick every time. I've ordered the Toro and Robusto vitolas, and the Robs are better, but both are outstanding, price considered. They're not going to outshine any top shelf smokes, but you'll never have a complaint. I've never even had a plugged one. Worst thing I've ever had happen is a damaged wrapper from shipping, and one or two wrappers cracked just as I was ready to nub 'em.

Famous usually has Inferno by Oliva for free coupon if you purchase a certain amount. Its pretty simple but pretty tasty.

 

[pedropuros]

Padron Londres for a domestic. Quintero Brevas for a Cuban. Holts Nicaraguan overruns for a bundle.
