El Cheapo Smoke of the Day - 2024

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

Raymond Pages is killing it! I've had his whole line except that one. The only one I didn't like was Penn Gold Standard. That one sounds up my ally. Have you had his other stuff?

The only other one is the med-full Penn Standard Broadleaf Maduro.

Nigaraguan Habano Esteli/Habano Condega, and Honduran Habano Copan fillers with a Habano-seed Esteli binder and a Pennsylvania-grown Broadleaf Maduro wrapper.

Sounds like Heinz-57, doesn't it ?

Light to medium spice on this stick, and smooth. I like the sorta sweetness ya get from a good maduro wrapper. Decent Stick, to be sure.

My issue with both Penns were the draw. Really enjoyed the Hooty and the Merchant Queens. Especially the Queens.

Cheap and delicious. I enjoyed it so much I had to nub it.

@Long Ash - Cupido ?

I've been waiting for a sale on those. They're pretty decent smokes.

Yep Cupido. Got a 5 liked um so much bout a bundle. I haven't had the original that this is suppose to be revived, but either way I like them.

This is what the $33 blind sampler from Small Batch looks like, in case anyone has wondered but not pulled the trigger. I'm sure it's a bit different each time but at $3.30 per cigar I feel like I got a decent value.

Saison First Harvest 2009 by Oliva.
My records have me shelling out a whopping $48.50 for the box of 20 in 2018.
So... less than $2.50.

$2.47 Oliva Serie "O" Toro, from a large Oliva sampler pack - June '23. $8.50 at Cigars International today

Medium+ Nicaraguan stick with an Habano wrapper.

Nice smoke. Excellent draw, and very even burn.

Puffy rating:

Deadwood Sweet Jane…I think the overall cigar is pretty decent (got it on clearance at small batch). It’s my first infused/flavored cigar. I decided I hate sweetened tips, so I made a little modification. Works great!

I dont like sweet tips either. They taste like artificial sugar to me. I haven't tried these, but I've heard Drew Estate Deadwood series, and Cuban Honeys don't have that chemical taste. Not sure if you want to give sweet tips another chance. I don't lol, but if you do let me know I'm curious.
