you could smoke the empty box from a 1950s king Edward, and get a better smoke then what youd get in a 12$ cigar these days.In the 50’s King Edward and such were made with Havana scrap filler.
Which manufacturer are we speaking of, here? (They all have this series).Factory Throwouts #49, #59 & #99. None of these are over a $1.59.
If you've got a problem with Fuente 858's you've got a problem with me and I suggest you let that one marinate.But at real world prices, my favorite 'cheap' smoke remains the Fuente 858, at $4-5 (box priced). The maduro punches above its price point. The SG is a solid one-note stick. And the claro is for the odd smoker that sometimes likes a very mild cigar with early morning coffee (me). The snobs will hate them all.
Growing up in Brooklyn, I remember when every corner candy store has a cigar counter. Most, but not all the cigars were mass produced. In fact, JR Cigar, the largest cigar retailer in the US started out with NYC candy stores. Back in the 1969's my dad would occasionally smoke Garcia y Vega cigars.
Indeed! Candy stores and walk-in newsstands. A newsstand tobacco counter is what finally lured me into piping. The smell of all that news print, all the magazines, the candy and gum racks ... and all that delicious tobacco.
I miss newsstands.
