<< not too expensive and a couple dollars are two different things. Not too expensive is $10-$20. Couple dollars is dirt rolled up in a rag.

Find a cheap Churchill. They're somewhere between $10 and $20 and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

How do you know?

I used to go into the tobacco store at Washington Square. I saw a set of those on the counter when I was talking to the guy and he said they were $20 per cigar! :Q Apparently the various kinds of Churchills are supposed to be decent cigars.

I'm not saving anything; I'm telling the truth. Chelsea knows that I used to smoke cigars.

There are plenty of perfectly good cigars in the $5-$10 range. Anything more than that and it's probably because you're ponying up for a cuban .

Savinelli and Ashton were both already mentioned. Excellent smooth cigars. I'm also a fan of Punch, but you have to make sure you pick out the gran cru or similar....the smaller ring gages are kinda shoddy. I'd also highly recommend Arturo Fuente cigars if you can find them....very spicy complex smoke. If you want something with some heavy flavor, try a good Hoyo de Monterrey.....very earthy but smooth. They'll stay with you the next day tho....takes several good listerine blasts to get that taste off your tongue.

La Finca is a very inexpensive, yet tasty cigar if you just want something decent to puff on at the golf course or something.

One bit of advice: I generally will buy a bigger ring gauge if possible as they often use better filler in the bigger gauges. Easy to sneak schwag in the small ones.

JR Cigars is a good place to find all this stuff online if you don't a happen to have a good smoke shop near you. I always stock up when visiting the inlaws since there happens to be a JR outlet in their hometown.

haven't smoked in about 2 years, but La Gloria put out some nice cigars. $4-8 range too.

<< If you've never even smoked a cigar, how about not dispensing advice on them, mmmnkay? Is that too much to ask? >>

No, that's perfectly reasonable. But, seing as thought I used to smoke them, get off my back.

Is there any place online you can order singles?

I wouldn't mind trying some of these but I can't justify dropping $200 on a box of cigars when I smoke 3-4 a year TOPS.

Most places don't really do singles, but they usually have "sampler" packs with 5-10 stogies of different types. That might work.

Otherwise, find a local tobacconist and try a few from him.

There's a local shop in the mall two blocks from me, & I have to go pick up a framed poster anyway.

I'll look then.

Hi, Re: getting singles instead of a box...

Canadian Cigar Company sells singles, though only cubans. You may prefer their cigar clubs, as shipping costs are included with club cost and you get 4 discounted.

DON"T get the Platinum club if new to cigars, they are strong ones. Go for the Gold club only. Hope this helps.

Tried my best not to be "commercial" with this answer, but though to do in this case.
