    Looking For A Single

    I have 2 samplers containing Avo Classics, a favorite, and CAO Golds, and I'm looking to spend my hobby fund on a single that's also of medium strength that's under $7 from CI. Looking I found a Rocky Patel, but figured I ought to ask if I passed up something, though I must confess to being hesitant to buy something with a weird name. I'm looking both for something that equalls an Avo but may also be 1/3 the cost as I'd like to find a box that can show up to my door for no more than $100.

    Suggestions?

    I'd consider something comparable with another vendor (I'm also looking at a small travelin humidor for under $20.

    Avo Classics are a must as I know I enjoy them.

    I really enjoy the rocky patel CT, Also the Ave Maria. Avo is a great smoke but the others I mentioned I smoke on a regular basis.

    I'll throw out to give the CAO Black a try...

    I find it to be a good smooth, creamy cigar (especially after some resting). Boxes can be had for well under $100...

    I will second the Ave Marias for an affordable, medium smoke. The RP Connecticuts are ok, but I'm not much of a CT fan to begin with.

    I also like the Room 101 Big Payback, but it might be a tad stronger than you are looking for.

    You can find Jaime Garcia REs for under $5 at times online...In my opinion those blow anything Rocky makes out of the water.

    Good call

    Also if you wanna keep it mild and flavorful and plan on ordering from CI, La Perla Habana Black Pearl Rojo is really good. You can get a box for well under $100.
