I know this thread is kind of an oxymoron, but I have had some machine mades that weren't too bad. Just wondering as to other's thoughts on a "good":D machine made cigar.


Villiger's aren't too bad.
 
I can't say I have had a good hand made yet. I used to smoke swishers and liked them at the time, but now that I know what a real cigar is I don't think they are so good anymore.
 
I would have to say either a 92 H. Upmann Aromaticos or a 98 Quintero Brevas. Both were fairly straightforward but full of wonderful flavor.
 
Ya know......ya made me think.

A few years ago my wife's uncle would come into town from Maine and he would smoke these cigars you could purchase at any gas station or convenience store. I tried them and they weren't too bad.

They were Garcia Y Vega English Corona's.
 
Partagas Topper. Discontinued in 2002 but I still have a couple from 99 that are great.
Tried a Villager last year. Couldn't finish it.
Curious about the Marsh Wheelings. Read a story about them in Cigar magazine. Can you get them online?

I went through a phase a couple of decades ago when I smoked alot of those and liked them, I didnt know about real cigars then. I priced them in the drugstore lately and you can get a real cigar with some kick and taste for about the same price.
 
I actually got started with Capone Slims, i think they are a great cigarillo.
I also love some backwoods (NATURALS) when i am fishing or if i want something from the gas station.
 
Villigers make some of the best machine made ones out there I to smoked them when I was underage and in my teenage years because they were cheap and tasted reasonably well. Now many years later smoking premium hand rolls I went back and tried a villiger and I must say these are no comparison to real cigars but in comparison with gas station machine made these are some ok smokes.

My favorite machine made cigars are actually machine made hand finished Cubans (I live in a country were Cubans are available every were and are the majority product in cigar stores) but I think your just talking about the gas station one right.

My favorite is the Guantanamera - since I am in Canada they are easily available, and not a bad smoke. Second choice would be a White Owl - I smoke them in memory of my uncle who used to smoke them like crazy.
