Good Cheap Stogies

CIgars can get quite expensive. However, if you search around and experiment you can find A LOT of cheap budget sticks that are pretty kick ass. Here's a list of 5 very good, and very cheap :-), cigars in no particular order with some attached links, all of these cigars are under less than $60-$70 for boxes of 25, the La Aurora Leoninos are less than $50:

1. La Aurora Leoninos (Any Size): This cigars are mild-medium and have excellent construction made by one of the top Dominican cigar factories. I had one in a blind taste test and thought it was amazing, so I purchased a box. I don't why these things are so cheap, but they appear to be a discontinued brand.

2. Padron Londres: This is a Nicaraguan cigar to which almost all new smokers are either drawn or directed to. They have a very smooth medium-full tobacco taste that is very sweet. Nice construction.

3. Gran Habano Corojo Blend #5 Gran Robusto: This cigar is very powerful and has a very full bodied flavor with a lot of complexity and nuances. This was another amazing cigar I had in a blind taste test (imagine that!).

4. Ashton Benchmade (Any Size): This is a Nicaraguan mixed filler (both short and long leaves) cigar blended by my favorite cigar-maker, Pepin Garcia. This is a great cigar for being a mixed filler and for the price, highly recommened.

  1. Dude, I had no idea you were so into cigars... I might have to take your word and try these out, though.

  2. Yea, i got into cigars about the same time I got my nipple ring. Seriously though, I'm a big fan of good cheap cigars, Non-Cuban and Cuban. Rest assured these ain't bad, diamonds in the rough.
