I went through a phase a couple of decades ago when I smoked alot of those and liked them, I didnt know about real cigars then. I priced them in the drugstore lately and you can get a real cigar with some kick and taste for about the same price.

I actually got started with Capone Slims, i think they are a great cigarillo.
I also love some backwoods (NATURALS) when i am fishing or if i want something from the gas station.

Villigers make some of the best machine made ones out there I to smoked them when I was underage and in my teenage years because they were cheap and tasted reasonably well. Now many years later smoking premium hand rolls I went back and tried a villiger and I must say these are no comparison to real cigars but in comparison with gas station machine made these are some ok smokes.

My favorite machine made cigars are actually machine made hand finished Cubans (I live in a country were Cubans are available every were and are the majority product in cigar stores) but I think your just talking about the gas station one right.

My favorite is the Guantanamera - since I am in Canada they are easily available, and not a bad smoke. Second choice would be a White Owl - I smoke them in memory of my uncle who used to smoke them like crazy.

The best one I had was the one I messed up so bad that I couldnt smoke it

I didnt know that hole on top is and tried to use my cutter. The cigar was so hard on top that I messed up the Cigar and the Cutter

Besides the Cuban machine-made cigars obviously, some really tasty NC cigars you can find occasionally in the large drug stores like CVS are the Topper Maduro Perfectos that come in a small white box and contain 3 cigars. These have a thick and oily P.A. broad-leaf maduro wrapper on them and are actually quite good.

For me it has to be Finck's Travis Club Especiales, probably because it was my first cigar. It's long filler, and for a machine made, has a complex flavor, earthy, slightly spicy, with a hint of peanut or unsweetened chocolate.

I have to add my vote for the Garcia Y Vega Coronas. I first started with these when I was Gasp, 16.

I liked them for what they were, available!!

They werent too bad the last time I had one given to me on a fishing trip.

Shoot me if you wanna but I didn't think the Garcia y Vega that you can buy in glass tubes at gas stations are that bad.

I like the Kentucky Cheroots.
