Are there any good inexpensive bundle cigars out there in a post S-chip world? I used to smoke Connies and Nic 3000's, as well as Punch London club (boxed, but bundle-like). I am attempting to cut my smoking from about 12 a week to about 3, but my budget is still low as ever. When I smoke, I want something I can taste, with flavor and not straight tobacco taste...but on a sub $2/stick budget. Can it be done? Recommendations?

TIA

Here's a favorite of mine. LINK

With the free fiver it makes it under the $2 a stick price point.

I second the FdOs and GH3 Siglos- great value sticks.

I hear good things about the Famous Nic SGs but haven't tried them yet.

If you're cutting down to about 3 a week you might as well smoke the good stuff. Last year I cut myself down from about 20 or so a week to 3 - 4 a week. I realized that I enjoyed it more when smoking better cigars and less often.

As for bundles, I really like the Bucanero bundles - the rosados have a decent rosado wrapper. Flor de Oliva isn't bad either. Padilla Obsidian is a great bundled cigar too.

I am curious about the Famous Nic Sungrowns as well..... Can you expand on your feelings about this cigar Hockey?

Truth, but the move to less is also for financial reasons. I'd like to pick up two or three bundles for the humi, but I pick up most of my good sticks at the local cigar shop. I love it there, and they make me some killer coffee with Baileys.
