I'm a poor college kid, so I'm looking for things in the ($3-5) range, with an occasional $8-10 range.

What I've smoked so far:

Drew Estates 'Dirt'


Liked the flavor, kinda similar to some cuban cigars I may or may not have had. First half was really sweet, second half was awesome. Reminiscent of sweet, and coffee, and a touch of chocolate towards the end. Mellow, but got harsher (I like that) towards the end.

Arturo Fuente Special Selection (G 2 1/2)


45 minute smoke, left it on a brick ledge for 5 minutes half way through, while ordering Burger King. it was good, like a cigar should taste, but was a little nutty towards the end(didn't like that), but much closer to my ideal.

What can y'all recommend?

The Humidor section is what I'd recommend

stick with fuente.  Drew Estate is for posers and will get you laughed out of town.

A flavored Drew Estate reminded you of a Cuban?

Reminded doesn't mean it's the same, it just means that at one point, it was kind of reminding through the mists or something.

Go to Cigar Bid and you can get some good 5 packs that average out at 3-5 bucks a piece. There are better cigars out there than the Drew Estates. You can pick up some Perdomo Lot 23's for about $4ea right now if you hurry.

5-Pack: Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro Robusto

"reminded" was my word, you said the flavor was similar.

Crap! You're right. Not at all what I meant with that, though. The way I form ideas / use words is a bit weird.

The Nub line is pretty good.  All fairly quick smokes, but good. I just wrapped up a San lotano Connecticut.

I have no hate for the Dirt by drew estate.  It's a bit different, but I like it. If you can find the la vieja habano line by them, that is another decent one too at a good price. Also look at brickhouse too

I like Rum Runner Sugar Tips, but I also smoke Cojimars pretty regularly (I enjoy many of the "sweeter" cigars and minis). I also enjoy some of the ACID series...
