Anybody else try this new cigar at 2Guys? Ecuadorian, dark rosado wrapper (almost maduro dark, but not quite). VERY tasty with a good balance of spice, cream and medium power. and cheap Cheap CHEAP (like $1 & change for the Toro I tried). About the best cigar for the money I've had in a while.

How many $1 cigars are out there to choose from? And how the heck many have you been smoking? Come on man, at least make the stretch to $3 for a Gispert or something. I haven't smoked a good $1 cigar since 1989 -- oh, wait, wrong, a Dominican Partagas 898 was $2.20 even then.
Hey Xcord-- as a 12 cigar a day kinda guy, I smoke all up and down the price spectrum and all across the flavor landscape (boredom=death). We all know of many cigars that we think would be GREAT at HALF the price, so I just wanted to pass along my comments on a cigar that I think would be Great at TWICE the price. Anybody who wishes there WAS a good, real cigar at $1 and change, should check out the whole Dos Hombres line-up

I still live by the best advice I ever got...smoke fewer -- but better -- cigars.
I'd rather smoke one great cigar a day than chomp on four or five mediocre ones. To each his own, though.
My bundle suggestion: Consuegra #84. About $1.75 a stick. Seconds of the Punch Gran Cru #2 or El Rey del Mundo Flor de Llaneza, depending. One of the few seconds that has been relatively reliable.
hey paul, how's the lucky 8 torp and el laguito coming along?...I smoked another of the el laguito's the other day and it was amazing...perfect burn, ton's of smoke and great dusky flavor with coffee, cream, leather and spice...best nc lancero on the market imo...

Nice of you to ask SMOKUM-- he el Laguitos are a hit (at least on our small scale). Lucky* South American Cameroon is in very early days. We'll see. The OTHER magazine is supposedly rating them in the next issue, which should be interesting.
Xcord, yes I do own a little cigar company, which my wife swears is just a way to afford my 12-a-day. Truth is, I smoke everything, from everyone, but I do tend to smoke more of my own, mostly because I try to make what I like to smoke, so ours tend to make me pretty happy.
