Where do you order Ventura Cigars from? Or are they retail only?

I discovered them through several B&Ms, but haven't looked for any other e-tailer than Egars. I would have to imagine there's
more than one. :D

Full disclosure - almost all of my sticks are less than $2, so perhaps I'm not the best one to be giving advice here :)

Nonetheless, here's my current list of good cheapies:

Cabo Classic
Gurkha Park Avenue
Nica Libre
5 Vegas Gold
Schizo
Bahia Red
Bahia Blue
John Bull
Graycliff G2
5 Vegas classic
Buenaventura
Bahia Trinidad
5 Vegas A

(I've also got a running list of bad cheapies if anyone's interested)

Anything from Oliveros is very good after a few years of rest.

They can be found on the bid-sites regularly for about two bucks each.

Disclaimer: YMMV! Bruck's list of bad or eeh cheapies:

everything in po' boy sampler
almost everthing in bender ender
GVH02
La Perla Havana Black Pearl
Fuente Curly Head
Blue Label B2
Perdomo Lot 23

Nuther disclaimer: I haven't actually smoked all of the sticks in the po boy or bender ender samplers. Also there might be some non-cheapies in there - not sure bcs if I'm not buying any, who cares what the price is?

I'll vouch for these. But then again look at my title....

I just wanted to say thank you on behalf of a friend who was in the same situation as TS, I sent him this thread and he said he found some great budget smokes. Especially the Black Pearl.

You can routinely buy the Cuba Libre on CBid for $2 or less per stick. These are one of my "go to" staples and I always keep some on hand. When I smoke them, I often find myself smiling about how cheap they are.
