There are so many cigars to choose from, so I enjoyed trying this one because it is a collection of quality every day cigars. I've been taking note of the ones I like and dislike. If you don't know what the standard is in cigars this sample will help you set a baseline, or if you want a good deal on some nice cigars you can't beat the price.

If you're looking around for a very good and budget-friendly exclusive smoke, check out the
El Artista Fumas cigars.
These are
Thompson Cigar exclusives, budget-friendly cigars featuring high-end touches like Habano wrappers and Dominican mixed-fillers and binder. It's a medium cigar with a kick at the finish, available in the Churchill, Torpedo, or Toro size, and designed to appeal to both a beginning smoker and someone with a more refined palate.
Thompson makes a lot of excellent cigars, and you can't go too far wrong with any of the
Thompson brand cigars. But if you're looking for a new everyday smoke, the El Artista Fumas cigars are one of the best bets I can suggest. When they're on sale (as they are right now), you can get them for less than $1.50 per stick, and they taste like cigars with bigger names on the band that sell for three or four times the price.
The artistry that goes into the making of the
El Artista Fumas is something to behold. Try one, and you'll be sold. As with everything else you can buy online at
Thompson Cigar, that is guaranteed.
