El Cheapo Smoke of the Day - 2023

1.85 stick. La Finca. It's 12:30 am and still crazy humid out. If I'm sick of sweating in 10 minutes, I won't have a problem tossing it. Yet if I stick it out for the whole time, it is an enjoyable smoke. View attachment 71703


Huh. It must have been a "La Finca" evening. @JoeMO - thank you for your contribution. :) :) :)
And YES, it's been humid. Yesterday's dew point was 87 degrees.

Victor Sinclair Primeros.

These are a bit fancy, but less than $2.50 (el cheapo criteria) each.

Dominican, with Dominican binders/fillers and Connecticut wrapper.
A nice mild smoke with my morning coffee - before the sun comes up !

Left out on the bike at 5:45 this morning and discovered (150 miles later) that I forgot my. cigar case.
No problem, because the gas station had the finest in imported cigars. AND - $4 for a 3-pack.

"Frontier XL's are old fashioned cigars from yesteryear. Blended with the finest natural tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Wrapped with an all natural tobacco leaf these cigars deliver rich flavors and a pleasant aroma. "

"Explore the Frontier with a 'darned good cigar' ! "


Woof. These are NOT for the faint of heart.
Ya gotta be a real tough guy to smoke one of these.

Gurkha Centurion, in a double perfecto.

I like these medium Dominicans - especially when they were $2.58/ea. That's just slightly above the el cheapo cost criteria, but it's close enough.

Dominican filler, Cameroon binder, Connecticut wrapper.

In other news, I went out and checked on my favorite 72 cent cigars - and the price jumped to $1.02 !
And that's with a promotional 25% discount !

In other news, the CI Po' Boy Sampler turned out to be $1.30 ea./delivered.

Dont love the Gs but if I had to this would the one. Have had a few that were a bit loosely rolled. But at that price point, could do much worse. Hungus approved.
 
Another <$2.50 Victor Sinclair Primeros.

They're $78.18 for a box of 20 everyday online price, delivered.
Of course, ya gotta wait for a sale, and then that additional 35% off - and free shipping.
