Favorite blue collar perfecto....

[Satchmo]

I was lucky enough to get a nice Gurkha perfecto in a trade. It was awesome. I really like the shape. Since they are a more difficult shape to roll, these babies seem to get a bit more pricey.

What are your recommendations for a nice $2-3 perfecto? I saw the Flor de Oliva's for $2 a stick. I've had one and it was alright. What are your favorites?

Gurka $5
Flor de Olivia $2

I've seen the Shorty Stories and heard plenty. Hard to come by I've heard. That one is escpecially on my list. That is an funky looking stick. I've heard it is a 45 minute smoke too!

I think you heard wrong...you're not looking hard enough... :whistling:

And, yes, they are a great small smoke... :thumbs:

Looks like Famous has 5ers of the Shorts Stories in stock...

Don't think I've ever had on last 45 mins, but if you pace yourself, they can be very satisfying.

I think the CAMACHO COYOLAR perfecto is alright for around $4.

Love the AFSS, and I too think they last 35-45 minutes.

Satchmo, where bouts in WI? I'm in GB.

La Gloria Cubana Reserva!

I 2nd that. Great little smokes!

BTW, he's asking for a $2-3 smoke. All the ones mentioned are more expensive. Short Story is the closest at $4-5.

This type of perfecto shape is relatively uncommon now adays. They're handsome shapes, but even well constructed cigars tend to unravel while burning. Although a more expensive smoke, I cast my vote for the La Aurora Coonnecticut or Cameroon #1's. You can get these between $8-12 depending on the source and they're top notch.

My favorite is the Carlos Torano Signature Perfecto, about a $93 a box of 25.

 

[Double D]

what brewmeister said good smoke. I also like the santa damiana.

 

[wasy]

The short story is the best 30 min. smoke out there hands down!

 

[Brickhouse]

Gotta vote short story, hands down.

 

[tasman]

I like the short story and the LGC Reserve Figurado Felicias and of course WOA/M

I'm in Fredonia, near Port Washington. I saw the MRepp is in Germantown. There are a few of us nearby.

I was looking for less expensive smokes. There are not many $3 perfectos out there. I may need to buy a 5er of some nicer ones, or split a box.

 

[BrewMeister]

Although not exactly a Perfecto, these little Figurados are a decent full flavored smoke at about $1.25 each. At least I thought so...

Cool, I get down to Metro Cigars near Milwaukee once in a while, when I do I'll shoot you a Pm maybe we could hook up. Great post by the way, I like the perfecto shape myslef, and have tried the Don Kiki figurado that were listed, not an excellent cigar, but certainly a good cigar, especially for the price as BrewMeister has mentioned.

TNT Cigars has an unbanded knock-off of the La Auroras, and while they don't hold a candle to the real thing, for $3/stick they aren't bad and they are a very attractive and well-rolled perfecto.
