Everyday Cigar
Duster
Posts: 4 ✭
Hi all, ive just recently gotten into cigars about 2 months ago. i've tried a lot of different brands and i tend to really like the high end stuff (Davidoff, Ashton, Ep Carillo, Padrons) . I'm now trying to find an everyday stick but i am having no luck. ive basically tried a lot of other brands (my father, monte, alec bradley, Tatuaje etc but i find most of these really sucks) did i do myself a disservice by initially trying the high end stuff? can someone who is experienced suggest a great budget stick($5-$7)? Thanks , i also like Rocky but i wouldnt consider these a daily maybe a step down from high end.

But only being into cigars for 2 months, you will never find a "daily cigar".
Your tastebuds are getting used to cigars and will change as you go.
So trying to find a cigar for a daily cigar is kind of hopeless.
You consider Rocky a step down from high end???
You got some learnin.
But then again, what do I know about high end?In Fumo Pax

Sounds like you need to learn your way around cigar auction sites. Plenty of nice cigars can be had in the price range you mentioned. Go to cigarbid.com and bid on some stuff you already like and also some small quantities of stuff you want to try.5

Not to them, but It's helpful to us. Newbs (or DR) keep coming up with these labor intensive questions. "I like x and y but z was sucky. Can you pick a budget cigar for me that I will love and smoke every day?" No! F#ck that! The chestnut is helpful.webmost said:

The right cigar is the one that's in your hand, lit and being enjoyed. Doesn't matter who made it, where it's from or what shape it is. You may get some needling, but at the end of the day, needling doesn't matter. Just fire the thing up, sit back and enjoy the ride.I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...4

Exactly... when I read that I figured what's the point in trying. Must be a troll.Usaf06 said:If you think my father and tats suck I cant help you
lighten up buddy. We are humans and its about personal taste . I currently work with someone who thinks Davidoff is horrible while i do disagree with him i don't claim he is wrong .. he just dont like em thats what makes us humans. Like i said ive tried a few my father and im just not impressed. The reason i asked my question was for the experienced folks to respond maybe someone could identify the "Type/flavor profiles etc" and could identify a cheap stick thats along the same line. I suggest you chill out and go smoke one. Remember you were a newbie once and lastly i dont like meanies 0 -

Okay... I'm sorry. It was probably out of frustration that I took the low road.Duster said:The reason i asked my question was for the experienced folks to respond maybe someone could identify the "Type/flavor profiles etc" and could identify a cheap stick thats along the same line.

You see, or probably you don't see, you're asking a question that's about impossible to answer. You say you like Davidoff, Ashton, Ep Carillo, Padrons, and Rocky Patel. But there's no way, first of all, to suggest a cigar that will be similar to those because you don't say what it is about them that you liked. I don't see the commonality between cigars within those brands, and would have a hard time summing up any one of those brands into its own common flavor profile. EP Carillo has a broad line of varying flavor profiles, and RP takes that to another level with their bazillion different cigars. And then, you don't specify which ones in those brands you liked, which makes my head go on tilt thinking how can I answer in a helpful way. So you're asking something rather vague, wouldn't you agree?
Then, you want us to take that answer to a kind of unanswerable question and find cigars that taste similar but are a third of the cost.
Then, you throw another wrench into it by saying you don't want these suggestions we come up with to be similar to My Father and Alec Bradley and Tatajue. The above idea of broad variations comes to mind again; which MF, AB, Tat, didn't you like because they're not the same across the board. And some of the EP Carillo sticks in the lower price range are very enjoyable so don't count out that brand.
If you're still a newbie, you get lots of slack. I'm still a newbie too. We get similar questions like yours on a seemingly regular basis. There is simply no way to know what you will like - even if you took the list of cigars you gave us that you liked and multiplied it, it's just a fool's errand to suggest cigars you will like based on that. You can take the ones you've enjoyed and try to deconstruct it by finding out the wrapper/binder/filler and looking for other cigars with the same components, but even then there are too many other variables that go into it."I could've had a Mi Querida!"

If you like Davidoff then try Avo. They can be in the 5-8 range2

You're going to smoke a butt-ton of cigars learning what you like best, enjoy the learning curve.
Cigars are like women, no two are exactly alike. Some turn you on, some turn you off, and some cost more than they're worth. Been smoking cigars for 4 years and still haven't found one favorite yet.Trapped in the People's Communist Republic of Massachusetts.

So true, what you just ate, didn’t eat, what you are drinking, what mood you are in, whether you rush or take your time with it, how long it rests, all seem to play into it. I may love one and then next time I am wondering what happened haha.Yakster said:Some are great one day and not so much the next time.3 -

Although you haven't enjoy the Tatuaje cigars you've tried, are you familiar with the Series P? As much as most people love all of Pete's work, I've always loved the Series P as a great, everyday cigar that is extremely affordable. If you're buying by the box, you're looking at a little over $3 per stick, and they're really tasty, medium-bodied cigars.
Another recommendation if you want to go a bit more mellow in body is the JC Newman Perla del Mar: Spanish pressed, easy draw, and really delicious with coffee. If you really want bolder flavours without spice, there's always Oliva Serie G.
Newer kid on the block is San Pedro de Macoris cigars: cheap, good flavour, and I appreciate the fact they emphasis country-specific blends. They are mixed filler, so if you're a bit of a chewer like me you'll spit out a bit of short filler toward the end, but the cigars retails between $4.75-$5.50 depending on size. I personally recommend the Brazil and the Nicaragua.5 -
Thanks all for your feedback this was really helpful.2
