Best Yard 'Gars That are not Dog Rockets

[HabanoMan]

Benchmade by Ashton. These are a Pepin cigar. Full of flavor and hard to beat at less than $3 a stick. I have been praising these on the cigar sites for years.

CI has them for 2 'n change, once you find that you like them.

No no man, a buck and change, $27 for 20 on the robusto all day long!

Over the winter, I stocked a few brands I know I like for the coming yard 'gar season: Gran Habano Vintage 2002 robustos and Azteca Fuerte Torpedoes plus some 5 Vegas Classic robustos. And though more in price but really not a whole lot better, imho, I think the Latitude Zero torpedoes I have will fit the bill for this, too.

Not to derail this thread, but do all of you actually smoke cigars while doing yard work? I've never found that enjoyable, regardless of the quality of the cigar. I understand that's not the point of the thread, just curious.

Heck, yeah. What better excuse to walk around the yard smoking a stogie? "Hey, honey, I gotta go do some things in the yard", I say. We both now know a cigar will be involved but I get away with it just the same. Hey, wait a minute, you think maybe she Likes me being out of the house? Nah, couldn't be.

Yes.
I do tend to drool a bit and get occasional blast of smoke up the nose, but yes

Lol thanks for admitting that, I too drool like a dog when I'm trying to hold a smoke in my mouth while the hands are busy.

Meanwhile, Bruck's list of good cheapies:

Cabo Classic
Gurkha Park Avenue
Nica Libre
5 Vegas Gold
Schizo
Bahia Red
Bahia Blue
John Bull
Graycliff G2
5 Vegas classic
Buenaventura
Bahia Trinidad

My definition of a cheapie: I can get it on Cbid or CI consistently for under $2 a stick. I've been picking up 5ers there for $4 & $5 lately.

If you expand the definition to under $3 a stick on cbid, well, now we're talking about nearly every stick in my collection!

Same here....cigars make me salivate like pavlov's dog.

I've got a special place in my heart for yard gars. And the ones listed in this tread are some of the best. I'll throw in the Finck's Havanna Blend and the Flor de Oliva (with a year rest). My cheap ass gets some kinda weird internal jollies out of smoking and loving a cigar that costs me like 1/10 of the ones in my "special" humi. I've found myself saying "man, this is a great cigar at any price" way more often than I've said "well, that was a waste of two dollars and an hour."
