    Best Smoke at Reasonable Price?

    I was in Paris last year and couldn't believe how cheap cigars were, I smoked a Cohiba every day. I'm no expert but can tell a quality cigar. If I had my own way I'd bloody immigrate to Cuba. Thanks for your advice.

    Best Smoke at Reasonable Price?

    G'day friends, I need advice for a quality cigar at a reasonable price. I'm generally a pipe smoker but every so often enjoy a cigar. Can't do both full time due to cost (I'm in Australia). Any advice would be most welcome. Have a great day! Mike

    This is something I'd like to explore. From what I gather small amounts labelling content by brand and not using the words 'tobacco' with a note inside saying "thought you'd enjoy this nice surprise" is the way to go. Perhaps if it was an exchange of gifts, money for an item, there is a chance?

    I love Velvet! You're right, it was a toss between Velvet and Carter Hall. Next time I'll get Velvet, a smooth and satisfying smoke!

    Tobacco Blends is fantastic, I use them regularly. They have a good selection, but did not have the Half & Half. I also use myhumidor.com in Australia, by far the most competitive prices and that's where I got Half & Half. Their stock seems to go pretty quickly though. Ten years ago Devlin's was...

    The most commonly available brand is Borkum Riff Cherry which i go to when i don't have any option. When money's tight i buy Port Royal tobacco for cigarettes, sacrilege but beggars can't always be choosers.

    It's one of the more affordable brands that i really enjoy. I generally need to see what is available. I have also really enjoyed Velvet, C&D Green River Vanilla, Carter Hall, Lanes 1Q1and RLP (I think that's the name), Edward G Robinson was nice. I had an old block of Peterson's plug which was...

    I have. The problem is that in Australia we are severely limited in the number of places that stock and sell pipe tobacco due to our Draconian laws. I would love to be able to buy from America, you guys have such a wonderful pipe smoking culture and communities. Sadly I am unable to do that. To...
