Like the title? I was inspired to use it in honor of the TobaccoBarn.com’s new web page of inexpensive cigars and also for some crazy reason I decided to light up a cheap cigar. Who knows, maybe I will make every Friday, a Cheap Cigar Friday. I started to have flash backs of the times I used to work for big companies that had their Dress Down Friday, Haiwaiin Shirt, Casual Day or some lame name that allowed us to get out of dressing in our white shirts and ties. Anyway…
The cigar I decided to light up is an El Camino Dominicano. I tried finding some information on this cigar but, I was unsuccessful. The cigar had a dark brown, very rough looking wrapper. Not very pleasing to the eye but, what the heck… I lit it up just to try it out. It has been sitting in my humidor for over a year now and it is one of these cigars I will smoke when doing yard work. Let me tell you, I took a couple of puffs and had to put the thing out. I didn’t like the taste. So, I threw it out and grabbed the Perdomo Fresco Toro.

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan

Ah, the Perdomo Fresco is a much better inexpensive cigar. The Fresco is a light cigar but, very tasty. The ash doesn’t hang on for very long which appears to be a very white flaky ash. This cigar is extremely smoky with thick white smoke swirling in the air around my head. I am actually enjoying this cigar while working and drinking a bottle of some fine H2O. For an inexpensive cigar I recommend the Perdomo Fresco. Skip the other one.
