Re: Budget Smoking Guide
My favorite bargain smoke by far is the Slow Aged Maduro by Perdomo. The Natural is not nearly as good in my opinion and the filler does not even look the same, but I have never been dissapointed by the Maduros. Nearly perfect construction, very nice medium body, nice clean Nicaraguan maduro flavor, and they perform perfectly every time with straight long ashes. I just scored a box of 20 for $28 on cbid.

Thanks Dustin. Good call on those. Never even noticed them before. I pretty much like anything made by the big 3 P's (Perdomo, Padilla, Padron). Going to have to give these a try.

Sancho Panza are another smoke that has totally flown under my radar. Have anyone else tried these? They any good?

Sancho Panza
Sancho Panza Double Maduro
Sancho Panza Extra-Fuerte

I'm interested in hearing more on these 3.

I have the double maduro here as well, ok in my mouth as I type this, it is a GREAT cigar. Full bodied and a true joy to smoke!

Slight chocolate spice and nutty flavor, even burn and IMHO one of the best I have smoked. Now I have a thing about the cigar flavor as it changes when chewed. I like to chew the nub for several hours after the smoke. This cigar holds up and changes to a creamy nutty flavor that I have only found before in cigars that come from a island south of me. It never seems to go bitter and is a true joy. I am tempted to order several boxes and make this my daily smoke.

Re: Budget Smoking Guide
Wow! Most excellent post for the newcomer or even some who are not as experienced as others. I've been smoking cigars for just over 4 years and found this post very helpful. Thanks.

Re: Budget Smoking Guide
Great list, very helpful even for a guy like me who's been smoking for 5+ years. I smoke a few of these on a regular basis: 5-Vegas A, Onyx Reserve, Super Fuerte, Flor de Oliva, Pirates Gold (only if I get them really cheap).

The only one's I'd add are some other Indian Tabac's: Cameroon Legend, Fire, & Maduro....haven't had a bad one actually.

Oh yeah & sometimes you can get the Oliva Serie G pretty cheap, very good cigars.

I really enjoy the Indian Tabac Cameroon Legend. Havn't tried the other kinds though.

Re: Budget Smoking Guide
Can't say I recommend the Puros Indios Viejo Buying a bundle of 20 for $40 off of CI was a big mistake.

Re: Budget Smoking Guide
Great post, thanks! I have a really bad habit of drawing a direct correlation between price and quality, despite having been proven wrong on several occasions. This'll be a good point of reference to try out some cheaper smokes.

Re: Budget Smoking Guide
I enjoy some of these cheap cigars that are good

-robusto deluxe (CI has em)

-JM's

and the Flor de Olivas I see you have those on the list. Those are awesome.

I just ordered a box of Brocatus cigars from CI their like 1.40 each so when those come in I'll tell you all how they were.

I'm planning on trying some cigars under the buck a stick and every day values on CI.

Thanks

From a newbie, Thanks! Great information. I'm expecting a shipment of Padilla Signature 1932 from CI's daily special the other day.

I have smoked a couple of boxes of both the double maduro and the xtra fuerte. My fav's are the double maduro alicante and the lancero. Deep rich maduro taste, full body, lots of smoke and very well constructed. To me the extra fuerte are not as refined. Still a good smoke, well constructed and decent flavor, but the double maduro's are my pick.
