El Cheapo Smoke of the Day

[whopper]

Got these in a bundle for free with a purchase. Less than two dollars a stick from what I can find.

Very smokable for what it is.

 

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

$2.11 Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee from a Cigars International Victor Sinclair Sampler. Dominican, with Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers.


"a medium-bodied experience with a unique, mature bouquet of flavor including some rich, toasty and chocolatey notes"

 

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur. Mellow+ Honduran cigar with a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper over Honduran, Dominican, and Nicaraguan fillers.

Smooth. Light spice. Well behaved. Be patient and you can get these for three bucks-ish.

Smoked a lot of these. One of my early favorites.

This is a La Finca from a 91-count metal ammo box of recent purchase.
It looked like it had been sitting in a desk drawer for ten years.

My first guess was that it's dry AF, but it smoked perfectly.

 

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

$2.50 La Palina 03. Ecuador Connecticut wrapper over Nicaraguan fillers, Ecuador Habano binder.
Sometimes available at less that $3 for you frugal shoppers.

Mellow/Medium. Light draw. This one had an extra light draw.

We go thru all that trouble to ensure that our humidors have that perfect humidity and then we discover an escapee alongside the file cabinet. How long has it been there? It won't say.

$2.74 Brick House Mighty Mighty Classic 60-ring. A big, fat J.C. Newman cigar. Medium+ Nicaraguan with a Habano wrapper. Ya gotta love those Cigar Page bundle specials. Usually about $8.

It was tasty and well behaved.

 

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

$2.74 Oliva Serie V Melanio in a box pressed Robusto - from a large Cigar Page bundle.

This one had a hard draw and a wonky burn until I removed the offending stick. It was quite tasty and well behaved after that.

 

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

Here's your basic mellow 94-cent El Cheapo Dominican bundle stick.
For those days when you wake up waaay too early and need a little kick start.

Pairs well with El Cheapo instant coffee.

Goofiest band I’ve ever seen.

 

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

$2.17 Cult Ometope from a recent CigarPage super sale. An Oliva owned brand. Medium+ Nicaraguan with Ometepe filler/binders and an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper.

A very worthy El Cheapo stick.

 

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

Another very worthy budget stick - a 90-rated medium Nicaraguan/Dominican with a Sumatra wrapper.

Frequently available for less that $3. This particular batch was $1.70 ea + sales tax and free shipping.

5 Vegas Classic.

 

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

This Rocky Patel Cargo is a medium mixed-filler Nicaraguan with a Dark Ecuador grown Connecticut wrapper. It's a pretty decent stick that mostly goes for < $3.

The Wild Turkey Rye is a birthday gift.

 

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

Cigar Page was having a great sale and then threw in an additional 15% off, site wide.

Just under three bucks each, delivered.

Oliva Serie G Cameroon Toro.

 

[hydro-terp]

Oliva Maddie robusto 2nd from a bundle.

I played the game and looked up dimensions vs reg line and SV and these may be SV 2nds after this first one. Smooooth chocolatie goodness and excellent draw and burn. The only flaw I could find on this one is one end was almost box pressed shape. I will take that for the price.

These may be a stack em deep item. Nubbed it out.
