Come on- you know you've smoked some cheapies in your day. Have you ever been surprised by a budget offering? I'm talking sub-3.00 range. Factory seconds. "Store" brands. Thompson/JR "specials". Bandless wonders.
Most of the brands I like are in the 5.00-8.00 range. I recently picked up a brand I'm unfamiliar with, "Quorum". They sell for 1.50 at my local B&M, and they range from robusto to Churchill sized. They really surprised me! Not too bad a stick- they taste like they could be an R&J second. They're all long-filler handmades and the only thing I can really knock it for is having an uneven burn. After dry-boxing a few days though, they seem to heal up nicely and the burn isn't that bad. It's rumored that they are Fuente seconds, but I'm not positive on that.
What's your cheap weapon of choice? Has anyone else tried the Quorum?
Apologies if this is a recurring topic. I didn't turn one up in a search.

Don't do it!
