I bought a handful of Acid Blondes this week.
They're fantastic.

La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial No. 5 - $7.50
Its got a 93 rating from Cigar Aficionado but my experience wasnt so good. Bought it from a liquor store that happened to have a humidor. The cigar turned out to be a bit stale. Gotta get a fresh one soon

Carlos Toraño Exodus 1959 Box Press - $7.50
This one was really good. Very smooth and flavorful. Flawless burn

So what do you high rollers usually pay for a box of ten? or do you just buy them individually? I'm trying to figure out what a good price range is for a beginner...

Go to Binny's. Ask for help and don't buy a box of anything. Get a couple of a few different kinds. If you like what you get, then go back and buy a box.

Go to JR Cigars (jrcigars.com) or CigarsInternational (cigarsinternational.com) & buy an assortment of Cigars. You can experience a lot of different types of tobacco, wrappers, flavors, & strengths. If you don't have a humidor, sometimes they run assortment specials that are shipped in a humidor. Both JR & CI have some nice assortments available right now.
Also, Cigarasylum (cigarasysum.com) is a Cigar message board with more that 6000 members & it is also a great resource.

You will over pay big time if you buy Cigars from a local shop. JR & CI will save you a ton of money & there service is good. If you buy a Cigar from JR & dont like it you can return it no questions asked.

By the way. Sams Club has a large floor model humidor & wine cabinet that was selling for $299 & they just marked it down to $199. My Wife bought me one for Valentines Day. God bless my Wife...helping to support my vices.

I'm with biggie on this. I used to smoke 3-4 a week and would look for cheaper but since I smoke so infrequently now, I just go right for the good stuff.

Thank you for this post Chris. I was at a NYC cigar bar and Cohiba immediately came to mind so I didn't look like an idiot. It was pretty good too.

BR never heard of Cohiba, & Chris thinks they're inexpensive? Really? No way...

So you are saying that Miller Lite and Swisher Sweets aren't high class?

This cold weather is infringing on my Cigar smoking deck time. Its ridiculous. Gotta smoke in the garage or the car. Yea, my Wife doesn't like it either but I told her years ago that Cigars & I are a package deal.

Been smoking these lately, top rated cigar from 2012 and pretty cheap at $7 per stick.

When I want to go a little pricier I really like the Aging Room F55, but they are $11.

There's another one I really like that is cheap, but I forgot the name.

Big fan of Cigar King in SKokie, but I prefer to buy in Lake County since its cheaper up there.
