Can you guys recommend some less expensive sticks for day to day. My wife has determined that my cigar habit might be getting a little expensive...i guess after seeing the figures i have to agree....i only smoke a few a week but working as a paramedic with four kids im by no means rich. Also during the summer i tend to smoke a bit more...lol my fave's are partagas, nub habano, ave marie, rp vintage and such but will try it if you recomend it....thank you! no swisher sweets or black n milds please!

Honestly, that stick in the robusto size is the best bang for your buck that I've found. Also, you can call ccom and tell them you would like to spend $x per cigar and they'll read you a list of what you could buy. For example, if you say $2.00 per cigar, they will tell you about the Vintage 2002, quite a few 5 Vegas, Black Pearl, etc. I'd also ask what the best price you can get some 2nds at. They are quite a few sticks that aren't advertised on the site that you can get a great deal on.
I also smoke the crap out of Puros Indios Viejo
The easiest way to smoke affordably is by filling your humi with daily deals. Paying listed price for anything is the most expensive way to go. For example, today's daily deal is 3 different types of Torano (10 total) for $30, that's only $3/each. Pretty damn good for a good quality smoke and you can do deals like this every day. I'm a real bargain hunter and you can easily find excellent smokes for $3 as long as you have the humi space to order and then store your cigars.
+1 to the Ccom purple/brazilian laberls, the 5 Vegas line, and the Gran Habano Vintage 2002 (the churchill size needs 2 weeks or so in the humi, then they get really good)
Gurkha Park Ave. is a stick blended by AJ Fernandez that is a terrific mild stick.
Nica Libre is a pretty good stick, I like them a lot in the Diplomat size.
CCom House Blends are great. I like the Corona size Red House Blend.
Look in the "sales" section. there are a ton of good deals in there.
Also +1 on the ccom SunGrown. The Blue and Corojo are good too.
Also check out the sampler section, becuase there are some great samplers, such as the Diesel High Octane sampler, which averages to around $3.50 a cigar.
Everybody knows Im a whore for the CCom Purple Label, nuff said. Also when it comes to milds, Im surprised nobody mentioned Verdadero yet - excellent smoke that again can be found for sub $40 per box prices.
Nica Libre is a good medium bodied maduro that can be snapped up around $40 per box also.
Happy Hunting!
Smoke less sticks... make each one a treat or a reward for a long day's end, or a job well done, or for simply skipping a day. Make up a set of goals you need to accomplish before you allow yourself a cigar.
Smoke one or two cigars only every other day, but enjoy them... look forward to them, make them a special ocassion for relaxing and sitting outside or watching a favorite tv show while sitting by the fire or only after you and your wife have dinner.
This way you can still smoke premium cigars, and your budget will allow you to enjoy each one more.
Smoke a super premium at the beginning or end of each month as a reward to yourself for choosing quality time with your cigars over quantity.
Whatever you decide to do, make sure you keep cigar smoking special instead of just something you do without thinking about it.
