A decent cheap smoke...

I like cigars, and smoke them daily when the weather is fair.  I don't smoke in the house.  

Being an old retired guy on a fixed income, I generally smoke 'cheap' cigars.  Under $3 each for the most part.  Usually ordered from 'Cigarbid.com', but occasionally bought in person at Cigars International.  On very rare years, I order Cubans from Cigar Lou, but even then they are the cheaper ones.

Today's enjoyment is 'Drew Estate Factory Smokes'.  These are tasty, middling strong, hand rolled sticks.  I bought some just under Churchill length, but a tad fatter. Gordo's at 6" by 60 ring gauge.

The construction is what surprised me on a such an inexpensive stick.  They are well rolled.  Tight, and they take a punch without surrendering like most Fumas do.  The occasional one splits a little while smoking, but stays together even then.  Even the best cigars might do that.

Add this up to find a flavorful and interesting 30 minute smoke at just under $3 each.  That works for me.
