El Cheapo Extraordinaire

Something advertised as "cheap" is expected to be really inferior. These cigars were/are quite good for a daily smoke or for cutting the grass. I smoke too many to go for the expensive smokes and these are fine.

Good buy for the $$$

4 great flavors of maduro! I have purchased this bundle twice already

Great cigars for the price! Prefer the Churchills, but not a bum in the bunch.

ya get what ya pay for. its a cigar. that's all.

This is a great selection of sticks! Some I had never heard of, but have been pleased with the quality of the smoke. And as always, shipped promptly. Thanks again CI.......

Average but cheapo!

Ok smokes some are better than others must keep humid.

The bundle was a hit. I gave my husband a Whiskey and Cigar party. The flavors were great. Everyone said they had a great draw.

Good for yardwork.

Really good sticks for yard work, hikes, etc. a couple had trouble staying lit but a minor issue overall.

Very pleased with my cigars.

very good cigars

This sampling of cigars was very economical and the aroma and taste with of a higher quality. I thoroughly enjoyed how they were made and the low cost!

You get what you pay for.

Cigars seemed older and a bit dried out but was fixable. Good cheap cigars.

This is a collection of really cheap cigars. It's a mix of some decent smokes infiltrated by some other not so decent smokes. I guess if you just gotta have a cigar, this is for you.

Excellent set of cigars to chill with the homies during a few poker games or just chillin in the backyard. I will buy again soon.

Over half way through and only one bad smoke….awesome. Will buy again if available.

Decent assortment....worth the price....no complaints

Good deal for the price

Names are strange,but the smoke is good

I don't have much experience in cigars, but they all taste pretty good and they're at a good price.

Better than I expected!

I was feeling a lil light in the pocket, so I decided to try these just to hold me over to pay day. To my surprise they were not bad. There not a high end cigar, but for a everyday smoke they get the job done. I will definitely buy again.

Good cigars for the price Would definitely recommend them

not to bad for the price

Good buy

Nice variety and very good price . Would recommend it to anyone looking for something new to try

I have gotten these before from Corona Cigar Bar in Orlando......I love the flavor and the burn, the issue I had was, they were dry and the crown falls apart easily and they begin to unravel.....they are a good deal however....you do get what you pay for.......I love the Brickhouse by J C Newman but they're much pricey for someone who smokes 3-4 a day

Great cigar for the price

They burn too fast to suit me

Size was to small..

Excellent everyday cigar at a great price. They are DR made and have great flavor. Assortment is good.

In my opinion a very nice cigar sampler at the right price. My Cigar Sampler was packaged nicely, arrived in a very timely fashion. I enjoyed every stick with the exception of the "light me up" I would recommend purchasing this sampler, and I myself will be purchasing it again sometime in the future. "B"

Surprisingly great cigars for cheap

5 star rating not because they are the best I ever had but because these are inexpensive daily smokes that taste great and burneven .you can take with you fishing and for the price don’t care if drop one in the water

Everything was Excellent

Great cigars

Great product and fast service.

These cigars are just OK to me. However, they are good daily smokes for the price.

great smokes, but took 4 weeks to finally get them...please keep using UPS...I ordered a separate order , and received it the same week I ordered it... Do not use USPS again .

Well rolled, even burning, good flavor.

This pack is great.. Not one bad cigar in the bundle.

Good everyday cigars priced accordingly.

Nice everyday smoke. A very good cigar for the price.

perfect for a boys winter fishing get a way

Great cigars for the price!!

good smokes to keep on hand for the friends who love to stop by for a free smoke ( again)

Surprised!!! not a bad cigar for the price. The draw was acceptable and the wrapping hung together better than more expense cigars I have smoked

Great variety and most were better than expected but a few were not enjoyable, I may have gotten old ones in the batch. I had to throw those ones out. Overall they were great to smoke and the price was very hard to beat better than the mummyload for me. They all should be as nice as the first of the pack but I only really enjoyed that one.

They are good great price

enjoy every single one of them

Some were good, nice draw, good burn. The rest...well I guess you get what you pay for.

For the price it is really good option

Very good cheap cigar

For a daily cigar,you absolutely can't beat these!!

Good cigar package for working in the garage or mowing the yard.

Decent smoke for the cost.

good smoke for the price, shipping was fast.

Great taste for the price

Too many cigars are too tightly packed to have an easy smoke.

Everything is good....

Cubans OK but I expected a smoother smoke. Had a real Cuban back in 1962. Like velvet. Are there any like that around? Just tried one El Cheapo so far. OK. Looking forward to trying others.

Always good

Bought these to be given out at a golf outing. Great price, pretty good selection. Will buy them again.

Best consistent selection I have ever found. I was nicely surprised.

GREAT cigar for the price!!!

Good quality for price.. it helps try other brandswithout spending too much money

they serve their purpose as a cigar to smoke as I work outside…would not recommend them as a good cigar for sitting down to enjoy while watching tv or having a relaxing drink

good

good cigar for the price

My boyfriend liked them. He likes a mild cigar and he likes variety. He said they burnt well also!

Great selection across the board. If you a looking for a decent everyday cigar for under $2 this is it. Already into my second batch.

They are pretty decent Smokes and great price

Great assortment for the price. Nice flavors to choose from. Brian Mo.

Great service, can’t ask for a better bargain.

Good

They were surprisingly good. I have had premium cigars and these although not as good,,, they’re not too far off.

Maduros are good others are harsh but may be getting better with age?

Great value for an everyday type of cigar. Good burn and good taste. Will definitely buy again.

I would buy again

About what I expected.

Nice cigars for the money.

These were great cogars!!

Good pricing but wrapped not so well

For a buck a piece, these weren’t bad. They weren’t real good, but definitely wasn’t bad.

I like them

A nice bundle of great tasty cigars, and a good bargain ! Will purchase again!

Excellent cigar for cheapos

Its a great value but do not expect 90+ sticks.

Great to stuff the humidor and have plenty to give away.

Very happy with all of them. Great buy

For the price not bad for quick smoke.

Great buy

surprisingly good. worth every penny I just ordered another batch

THESE EL CHEAPO'S ARE A GOOD BRAND FOR THE MONEY:) I LOVE THEM ALL

1 or two peeled. A little to dry. One of my favorites is Hand Made Dominicans Maduro. Got good deal on those for a poor ole Marine Corps combat Vietnam Veteran. Semper Fidelis Gene

I expected Cuban sandwich with no flavor (or just taking like tabacco). But it was actually quite flavorful and pretty good construction. Definitely a good deal.

Good

A lot of off brand cigars that I've never heard of but all of them are fairly good smokes and worth the price that you pay

What's with the BO blues

A great deal

Awesome deal

for the price there are few optionsbetter.

Good buy for a cheap everyday smoke. It would be a great deal if you put in a couple if nice cigars.

Very nice selection of sticks. 5 inch last longer than I expected. All have burned very well and have been most enjoyable. I will purchase again.

good everyday cigar

definitely worth the money

Most were good but one of the selections was way to full bodied for me

Not bad little selections... will order again.

this was a nice mix of cigars and well worth the cost

I love the variety of my sampler pack!

They really are cheap.

I was surprised at the smoothness of this cigar. I really enjoy them relaxing on the deck or playing golf.

Fantastic bundle. most smooth and easy going. Will order more soon.

Good cigars for the price but unmistakably cheap.some were rolled too tight making them hard to draw.bottom line,you get what you pay for.

Excellent cigars for the price!!! Always a must have around the house.

Just got the cigars. Shipping and transaction was flawless. Note to self... Look at ring gauge. I was a bit surprised when I saw how small the cigars are. Oh well, I cant wait to start smoking them. More to follow once I get into the flavor and taste. Cheers!

Very good. Timely delivery

Good

For the price was very happy couple real decent , then okay one poor but I'll buy again for every day smoke

For the price was very happy couple real decent , then okay one poor but I'll buy again for every day smoke

Just a nice everyday cigar.

Did not expect much from these cigars but they actually are pretty good. Nothing fancy but quite a decent smoke. They draw well and burn smooth so are quite suitable for everyday smoking. I’m not saying they are prime cigars but they clearly are decent enough to be worth giving them a try.

Great value

Not the greatest that i bought from GI. Will not do it again!

I made an offer on "name your own price" and it was accepted at a little under a buck a stick. They were shorter than I realized, but are a nice smoke when I don't have a lot of time. I think they are left over from private bands for company "gimmees" but I think I got a good deal.

Very nice for the price.

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

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 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.

good bang for your buck .

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!

Not bad for the price. 45-60 minute smoke. But I still like Fighting Cock better.

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!

no flavor

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!

Couple of good ones but mostly crap. Do not buy!!!

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.

You get what you pay for. Poor quality cigars. I had to go my local cigar and buy more.

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

Whether I used a punch cutter, v-cutter, or guillotine, these cigars fell apart. I will not be ordering.

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!
