Question
I have about 300 cigars in storage, representing about four years of collecting. I started with "best 'gar under a buck" and have slowly graduated to cigars that cost twice that (but, still at the low end of the range). I buy mostly at C.I. auctions, now. Are there brands that offer a medium-bodied Churchill / Dbl Corona at the $2 mark that are a good daily smoke in your opinion?

Answer
Chris,

I use this forum mostly to answer technical questions, not to promote my own business, but in this case I have to recommend my own brands. We have made cigars for over 115 years and make some of the best quality, reasonably priced cigars on the market. You can request a catalog and/or look at our products on www.finckcigarcompany.com

In particular, take a look at these cigars:
Lamb's Club Churchill - $2.75
Honduran secret Smokers Churchill - $2.45
Finck's Commerce Churchill - $2.10
Lamb's Club Churchill Seconds - $1.85
Maravilloso Churchill - $1.60
Resagos Churchill - $1.50
Romero Double Corona - $1.45
Favorita de Nicaragua Churchill - $1.25

Descriptions, sizes... are available on our web site or through our print catalog.

Hope this answers your question - there aren't many, if any $2 national brand cigars available that I think are really good, but many of our small house brands are made by those same big national companies and these cigars represent terrific values.
