While a fine handmade premium cigar is worth every cent, it can often come with an expensive price tag. It would be nice to savor several top-shelf cigars per day, however, for a lot of aficionados out there, such an indulgence requires a lot of time that they just do not have.
Smoking cigars not only takes a lot of time, but they also tend to be a little pricey, so if you want to smoke more than a few cigars in a day, it will cost you a healthy chunk of change.
That is why there are many out there who prefer to spark up machine-made cigars. Machine-made cigars are far more affordable than their handmade cousins and can be fully enjoyed in a shorter amount of time.
To help you select a good machine-made cigar that will give you the best bang for your buck, we have assembled this list of some of our most popular and affordable!
Backwoods
Made with Caribbean Basin Cuban-seed fillers and a genuine top-quality Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, Backwoods Cigars are classic rough-cut cigarillos that come in a wide variety of flavors. Offered in boxes of 24 or as eight packs of five, these convenient sticks are perfect for a smoker on the go who likes a flavorful twist.
Whether you are looking for something sweet like Honey Berry, or Sweet Aromatic, or something rich like Russian Cream or Dark Stout, or even the traditional Original, Backwoods have you covered and at a price that cannot be beaten!
Black & Mild
If a pipe is more your pace but you do not have the time for your pipe session, then Black & Mild Cigars will be more your speed. These skinny 5×30 treats are filled to the brim with premium pipe tobacco and even come with plastic or wooden tips that resemble the end of a classic pipe.
Also coming in a variety of flavors like Apple, Cream, and the ever-popular Wood Tip, Black & Mild will provide you with an aromatic and sweet smoking experience, and at under a dollar per cigar, they will not be burning a hole in your wallet.
Phillies
For over 110 years, Phillies cigars have been providing smokers with no-frills cigars and cigarillos that are all about providing an exceptionally good smoking experience.
Offered in affordable boxes 50, 10 packs of five, or 15 packs of two with the cigarillos, Phillies come in a bunch of delicious flavors like Strawberry, Chocolate, White Grape, and the classic Original. Ideal for the frugal aficionado who expects a consistent, top-notch smoke from their sticks, Phillies will never fail.
Garcia y Vega
One of the most famous names in the machine-made corner of the cigar industry, Garcia y Vega Cigars has made a name for themselves by consistently providing some of the best machine-made cigars on the market. These gems are offered in a wide variety of sizes and are coated in either an Indonesian or top-quality Candela wrapper, imparting a unique sweetness to the smoke.
Along with their more full-sized offerings is the iconic Garcia y Vega Game, an extensive line of flavored cigarillos that are widely popular with flavors like White Peach, Grape, Honey, Mango, and Pineapple. With such a good assortment of options at their competitive price, it is no wonder they have stood the test of time.
Hav-A-Tampa Jewels
Manufactured by Altadis USA, the same company that produces famous premium brands like Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, and H. Upmann, it is no surprise that Hav-A-Tampa Jewels are popular around the country for their consistent, top-notch flavor.
Featuring a wooden tip and a core of top-quality Caribbean Basin Cuban Seed fillers, Hav-A-Tampa Jewels come in Regular and Sweet varieties to provide a creamy, smooth, nutty, and sweet smoking experience that is steady from stick to stick. These are great little sticks for aficionados short on time in need of a quick smoke that will never disappoint.
Final Thoughts
Although handmade premium cigars are a large part of our business and passion, machine-made cigars are incredibly popular and some of our top-selling products. Not only are machine-made cigars a good option in a pinch when time is short, but they are also far more affordable.
If you are looking to save money on your cigar hobby, machine-made cigars are the best and easiest ways to do that, and this list of some of our most popular and affordable will give you a good place to start!
