Post by y***@yahoo.comI cigars ocassionaly, and I only smoke on the links, and as golf
season is approaching I was looking to buy some cigars for my 10-12
sessions this year.
Would you guys please recommed a few good Mexican cigars in the $5-$10
range. I prefer to smoke cigars that are 5.5" and longer.
thanks
Any reason you are sticking to Mexican cigars?
For $5 to $10 per stick I know that I and everyone else on this group
can recommend, collectively, literally hundreds of different cigars.
Although you didn't ask for it, I would like to point out a couple of
(rather objectively and generally recommended to occasional cigar
smokers) really good choices that aren't Mexican cigars:
- Arturo Fuente Hemingway Series - a pretty good golf choice might be
the huge Hemingway Masterpiece (9" by 52 ring) which sells for between
12 to 15 dollars in most brick and mortar shops/online stores that I
have seen
- Macanudo Classic and Maduro lines - solid, extremely consistent
cigars that err on the mild side. Generally around the 5 or 6 dollar
mark.
- Oliva Serie G Cameroon and Maduro - again, being unsure of your
wrapper preferences, I can pretty well recommend this line. These are
premium cigars at great prices, between 3 to 5 bucks a stick. The
Oliva family grows essentially all of their own tobacco used in their
proprietary cigars and runs a debt-free operation, so they keep their
cigars on the cheaper side. For a bit more expensive smoke you might
try the Master Blends III (excellent, around the $10 price point). I
would personally skip over the "O" and "S" series, they just don't do
it for me, for what they cost. Almost all Olivas are good smokes,
however.
- Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur series - Particularly the No. 1, a
mammoth churchill. These are excellent cigars that float around the 5
dollar price point. The No. 1 in particular would be large enough to
perhaps last you through an entire 9-hole side.
There are many more I could recommend. Bottom line, there are a LOT of
great smokes, don't limit yourself to Mexican cigars!
