El Cheapo Extraordinaire

Very nice for the price.

For the price good deal A few are fair to good Some are surprisingly excellent especially the Money Maker

not bad

all of them draw well. construction of all is good to very good. medium rich cigars most of them. all long filler.

good smokes at good price

Pretty good for cheap cigars.

I brought this sampler a year ago when I started smoking cigars. They were perfect to help me develop a taste for cigars and were good quality. I still have a few left and after upgrading to more expensive cigars these are very good for the price. I even purchased another for my brother in law who is just getting into cigars.

good knock around smokes

Not a bad deal..Cigars are fine for a smoke playing golf, fishing , or just out in the yard..Would buy them again..

SATISFYING HOWEVER CONSTANT LIGHTING OF CIGARS. GOOD VALUE FOR YOUR BUCK

The cigars are good for what you pay for them. Will be purchasing again in the future

Not a bad smoke. The crazy labels initially made me think they were pressed pieces parts that would burn quicker than fuse. But I took a chance because they are advertised as full leaf. They are indeed full leaf and burn well, better than expected for the price. Smoke is thick and overall most are medium to mild. Great price for the bundle. I bought another already.

Not terrible, mix them in with the good cigars and they work.

Good cigars for a very reasonable price

I am often a lil hesitant about getting a grab bag sorta deal but I have to admit I will definitely be ordering these Sticks again !!

These Cigars are a good smoke for a great price!!!

Despite about 3 oddly burning cigars, I was impressed with these 6 varieties. There were a couple that I would actually ask to buy, if they were sold individually. Nice job, Cigars International comes through again!

Great smoke for the price

Not a bad assortment of cigars, ranging from mild to medium so far.

average cigars

The names are really terrible on these cigars. When your buddies ask what you’re smoking you won’t proudly announce that you’re smoking a “payday”. But once they smoke one and find out how much you paid? They’ll be ordering this pack the next time they hit the web. For this price I can smoke 4+ a week and still afford to smash some black label at the same time.

Good value and taste

All the cigars in the bundle are very good.

A bit dry but ok for a daily smoke

Bought this 30 pack bundle just for the heck of it. I've never heard of El Artista before, but these smokes were impressive considering a buck a pop! Not a pricey premium but terrific in the garage or just wanting a quick smoke .

They are a little dry, keep in your humidor for a month and they get better.

Excellent

Good, everyday smoke

Great bargain. Very good cigars for the money,

Some of them don't burn good.

Good amount of each cigar. Better quality than local shop and cheaper cost wise still.

The majority were good but a few were not to my liking.

Great price

They were'nt overpriced.

Some are better than others. Some burn runny...run down one side & hard to keep lit.

I can't complain, ya get what ya pay for,...and these are a great deal. I smoke these when I have a break during the day, for a quick smoke,... That way I can save "The Good Stuff",... for when I have the time to kick back in the evenings, and enjoy a nice, long smoke, of a Quality Cigar.

The price is really good on the cigars, and the sample pack was a great selection of flavors.

Really enjoyed these cigars - a good deal!

You get what you pay for. I found all these cigars lacked flavor. They just burned and provided smoke. I do not recommend them for purchase.

Way to harsh and hot. Looking for a cheapo but this was not a good buy.

too many with a loose wrap. especially at the tip after you cut them

They were very dry on arrival, the outer wrapper peeled from nearly every one!

They were very dry and flaked apart when open and lit. But I brought another brand and we’re excellent.

These are actual, long filler cigars that aren't half bad. If you are looking for award winning cigars these are not them but for everyday smokes or knock around the yard smokes they are mostly decent. I had a couple where the wrapper fell apart, a couple that were rolled so tight they had no draw but the rest were all pretty good. I even found a handful in here that were better than expected - a real treat when you are paying roughly a dollar apiece. I will definitely buy this one again and definitely not the Po' Boy II.

You get what you pay for!

Good yard mowing and fishing smoke..

Good cigars for the money

Huge variation in quality from one to another. Unevan burn in most.

some rolled too tight

Good bye but could not get the ones I wanted

I usually get the Churchills Po'boy sampler but I thought I'd try something new. These are a disappointment. Dry, hard to draw, and not a good cigar. I'll go back to my old standard.

Theses are great for mowing the lawn or turning wrenches.

Poor quality batvh and never got tin sign promi

Some were better to be expected, while others were definitely worse than expected.

Excellent

Overall this is a great bundle. Decent flavor and for the most part a nice smooth smoke. The last bundle I had a couple that had a really tough draw, but will still buy again.

They r ok!

When you consider the price, these are some good cigars!

Flavors on several are bitter, and some are a hard draw. Not all same kind. Hard pass next time.

Hey, Hey, these cigars are no Padron or Arturo Fuente, which I would smoke every day if I could afford it. But they seemed just a good as some other, moderately priced name brands. For the most part, the construction was okay. I had a lot of fun with this bundle. And these cigars are not half as bad as reviewed...and the goofy names are just hilarious. I smoke a lot of cigars, at least 2 a day. And I would buy again.

Cheap on the cheap. What can one expect? You get what you pay for, nothing more nothing less.

Some where good some where bad and really bad

You get what you pay for. Good for handing out to cigar mooching friends who have no appreciation for a good cigar.

Good for beginners on a budget, or to have on hand for cigar mooches. Otherwise, if you like good cigars, don't bother with this one.

5 star because of price. Don’t feel too bad if I don’t finish it. Better than expected taste and quality.

Shot in the dark and it worked out. My usual smokes were out of stock until Christmas so I just ordered several different little packages sort of on a curiosity trip. These are as good as some more expensive cigars I have tried. They are certainly not all the same but overall, a real good deal. I would do it again.

Most of the sticks I tried have been okay I’ve had problems with a few with a cracked foot but burned past that but have had one that just kept cracking to the point it was not smokable but overall great value

For the price you can't beat the deal. Will purchase again for sure.

Not a bad smoke for the price

It was worth a try. When money is tight you try new things. They “light.” They “smoke”… sort of. Won’t do it again. Not CI’s fault. I will just buy better.

Great group of cigars

Better than expected, great price and good mix

Look, I am not saying these are name brand, but they all burn nice and have decent flavor. This is the second time I have bought the bundle, and I am happy. You get an assortment, which is nice, mild to medium. And finally, I would much rather give one of these to a moocher than one of my Gurkha's or Victor Sinclair, if you know what I mean.

A good deal for every day smoking like all five brands would like to try more El cheapos

Great options and a huge variety or choices.

good stuff - thanks!

CI has the best prices and it allows me to try many different brands

Great cigar package!

Very happy. Everything came in great. Took a bit to get there but I loved it once I came

They fell apart when cut and while smoking. I knew they would be different but was very disappointed.

Always pleased with ci quality for the buck tried many others none compares!!! Thx

I like the sampler packs good variety for beginner smokers

You get what you pay for.

Great smokes for cheap. my second order was as good as my first one. Yeah some did burn funny but still a great value for the price.

These turned out to be some really great tasting smokes after a nice humi-nap to restore some moisture. The maduros were especially sweet.

Good deal if your working in yard. I hate dropping a 90s rated cigar when mowing the lawn

excellent service fast shipping

The boys loved them and would gather on the porch to smoke them. El Cheapo's were a great Christmas gift. I hope you have them all year long. Thanks for a good time with my boys.

There Ok don't really care for the taste of most of them

I got some of these to fill up a humidor as a gift and they are a decent cigar for a very reasonable price

I am enjoying the cigars I bought and they are better than I thought they were going to be. HAPPY HOLIDAYS WITH CIGARS INTERNATIONAL!!

by the quality of the cigar i give them 3 star but, is a money saver so i give 4, not a bad cigar but some of them left a bad taste in my mouth when i finish my smoke. Good burn, no need to relight till the end, good construction, just one of them fall apart but i blame my very old cutter. will buy them again for refill coolidor :)

Still trying to learn how to didgeridoo cigars (keep it in my mouth yet alternate between smoking and breathing) and these are cheap practice... Good first thing in the morning cigars when you are still incoherent anyway... Trying the Po' Boy Sampler next... these bridged the gap between checks acceptably.

It was my first order and I am very satisfied

Exactly what you get. 30 cheap cigars, some are dry and crack as you smoke them,others just don't stay lit. If asked to order them again, I think not!!!

Weird little sticks. Good for a short break. Nothing fancy.

Avoid. Most of these are filled with little bits and pieces. Every time you take a puff, you get a mouth full of pieces.

I bought this sampler to hand out during a room pub crawl at the event "Mod Palm Springs". These are decent, enjoyable cigars and everyone was thrilled to have a free cigar on the house. Best yet, this package didn't break the bank.

Some were good some a little less but for a plain smoke a good price

Do you remember the first time you enjoyed a premium cigar? This is NOT that experience. However, if you wish to relive that first truly exquisite experience then get a bundle of these, smoke a couple if you can, wait a day and then smoke one of your favorites. I promise that you will feel much better about buying premium cigars. Now I was not not expecting much from dollar cigars and I can honestly say my expectations were not exceeded. There is so much difference between these. One will be rolled so tight that it feels like a stick and the next will feel like a rolled towel between your fingers. Try them if you are looking for a cigar that you will not mind leaving in an ash tray 1/2 smoked, but I would suggest CI's knock offs first. Except for these, I have enjoyed everything I have purchased from Cigars Int'l.

It surprised the heck outta me. These smokes really exceeded my expectations. I will order them again and again.

These cigars are a smooth even smoke that take up your whole day.

For the price they were quite good!
