Hey guys we are setting up a humidor with good everyday smokes. What would be some of the cigars that you would suggest? We have really nice cigars already we just need those cigars that you can hand out to people at get together or you wont feel bad if you put it out if you are in a rush. We are looking to blow like 200$.

Well if you're rushing get some robustos or petite coronas! As far as decent, cheap, non-cuban smokes I would say try Punch, Oliva (Gs and Os), CAO Gold (and Gold Maduros), and maybe some Fuente stuff. All depends on the strength and price range you want though.

I would say this is a good mix. throw in some Oliva's and your covering a wide spectrum.

Joya de nicaragua celebration

What about joya de nicaragua fuertes or indios puros. They are inexpensive and I have been told are good.

I think the Padron x,000's are a great go to smoke. I pick em up at around 4 bucks a piece and they are perfect for everyday

newtocigars,

You mention you are looking to spend about $200, but how many cigars are you looking to get for that? I agree with most of the above recommendations, especially the Padron thousand series, and any of the Oliva's depending on your exact price point. The Flor de Oliva bundles are pretty good for the price if you are looking to go very inexpensive.

Joe

Fuente Flor la Fina 8-5-8 maduros for about $4 a stick. One of the best valued sticks I've come across so far. They are mild bodied enough to give away to your buddies without turning them green and full-flavored enough to smoke 'em all yourself if you decide to be stingy. So far these are my favorite "go to" cigar.

Haven't had them. Have had the antonio? which is good. Am under the impression the celebration is the best. Had a toro or chruchill last night, really good smoke for the price, which you can find cheap.

Puros Indios are actually pretty damn good. My favorites are the Viejo line, but I have not seen them in years at my local shops.

Next are the standard line, I used to smoke the Cetro size, back before they discontinued the size, they were one of the best kept secrets IMO. I have not had one since like 2006 but I remember them being a very well balanced smoke.

They also make a bundle serie, the "Roly" they are pretty cheap, but I am sure they would make a great hunidor filler.

They make several other blends, but these are the more notable ones. I've never smoked one of the Cienfuegos line, but they seem popular.


As for Joya de Nicaragua, I love the Antano 1970 line, but they are very full bodied, much to strong for the beginner.
In the standard line, the only ones I have smoked have been aged about 10 years, and are very smooth. I doubt you can find them aged that long, but try a standard Joya de Nic... they might be good.
