El Cheapo Smoke of the Day - 2024

< $3 - La Palina Nicaragua Oscuro 6 x 50.

I bought a box of these in October, and I should have bought more.

Nicaraguan - Tabacalera Fernandez
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Oscuro
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan

Medium stick with good construction, a nice draw, and a decent burn.

Puffy rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

$1.92 Victor Sinclair Primeros 6 x 50.

A very mild Dominican, in a Connecticut wrapper.

I've had good luck with these, and many others in the Victor Sinclair line. They all draw and burn well.
They're excellent budget smokes. Get 'em on sale - even better.

Puffy rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 7/8

$3.21 AJ Fernandez La Gran Llave Maduro 5 x 54 box pressed. About $7.50 everyday online.

Nicaraguan fillers, Habano binder, Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper.

Peppery up front, and then a nice smoke. Good draw. Even, slow burn.

Puffy rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ +

Another trick too, for their little free gift over x amount of dollars, I've found that if you get to the dollar amount and enter the code they give you, and take something out of your cart that drops you below their dollar amount for the freebie, they'll still send it.

It's not usually anything super fancy, but sometimes they do have some good ones.

So... there's really no issue if a guy wanted to have a little sum sum in a glass in the morning then? Cuz it sounded like a " oh I never" response.
And I'm getting a complex from it. 😎
