Top Five Cigars Under $2 (AKA and we ain't talking about the price you get from auction)

Here's Metalbass Top Five Great Cigars Under $2
And in no set order, you have to try them all!

I really can't stand going to websites and see people talk about how good of a bargain a particular cigar is and then find out they got them off an auction website. The real price is still the retail price that the online dealer sets. To me, I don't always have time to hit the auctions, and though I have had good luck on them, I usually don't find what I want on them. My favorite is when people end up overpaying for a box of cigars,
that takes real skill. Ha ha!


1) JR Alternative Edicion Limitada
- Fellow cheapsters, rejoice at the fact that you can get these online at the never discounted price of $1.80 or less per cigar. The dark wrapper, full robust flavor, and awesome construction all make this a great bargain. My only complaint about JR Cigar is their crappy shipping charges. For every item that you buy, they tack on a bigger fee.

2) JM Dominican's - You can get these online for about $60 for a box of 50 robustos, natural or maduro. They are very well constructed, taste great (maduro is medium and sweet), and have a very bright band on them so you can't get lost at night.

3) Mr. B's Candela Toro - I like candela cigars. These are cheaper than most machine mades and way better. They have a mild yet tasty flavor. Construction is okay, but at 80 cents or less per stick, you cannot go wrong with these. Buy a bundle, smoke a few, and hand the rest out to your mooching good for nothing friends.

4) Tabamex Maduros- Of all the cheap Famous Smoke cigars I have tried, the best bargain to me are the Tabamex Presidente maduro cigars. $36.99 for a bundle of 25. You can find my comments about how good these cigars are on their website. Medium in character, smooth tobacco taste. They are not the most attractive cigars out there, but honestly, if you are worried about how a cigar looks, you must have an oral fetish.

5) La Vieja Habana Corojo Corona Chateau - Very consistent quality, under $2/stick online. Nicaraguan corojo wrapper on a sandwich blend. The aroma is sweet, the flavor is medium-full but very smooth. Cigar snobs don't like sandwich blends. I think cigar snobs only enjoy the sandwiches that their moms give them. Poor slobs will never move out of their mom's basement! Anyways, try these cigars out. They come in cheap cardboard boxes filled with loose tobacco leaves that smell like farm. Toss the box and scrap, put the cigars in your humidor, and enjoy them with moderation like all cigars should be enjoyed.
