the new Artemis 6"x54 Toro is a good, average smoke. Pinched a Box of 20 for $43. As good as any regular line Padron, H. Upmann, or Macanudo Cru Royale I have smoked, and you can get it for well under $3per.
and for a smooth smoke try the new Dominus. Stole Box of 20 of the 7"x48 Churchill for $34. For around $2.50per it is a very good option.
remember, these sell as ONLY $5per smokes at C.I. You can WASTE $6 and $7per on the other blends I listed above and get absolutely nothing more as far as flavor goes. In fact the Artemis and Dominus are BETTER then the three blends I listed above as far as flavor, and just as good in quality.
