Here's the beef... I've got a cousin that has gone through a very rough last little over a year. I'll just say that he went into the hospital with infections throughout his body and organs shutting down. He actually died and was resuscitated. He ended up surviving the ordeal after 3 or 4 weeks in ICU and more time in a regular room.

All this leads up to now. Considering what he went through he is fairly healthy except for his heart which sustained damage from the infections. He isn't able to work and only gets like $700 from disability so needless to say he doesn't have mucy extra moolah.

About six months ago I gave him a humidor with a bunch of cigars, a lighter, cutter, butane, etc. He told me last night that he has smoked almost all of them and wanted some suggestions on what he could afford. One thing he is able to do is play golf (on a cart) thanks to a place here in Topeka that offers golf & fitness memberships for $29/month. The courses pretty much suck but it's only $29/month. He likes to smoke a cigar while hes playing so I wanted to replenish his stash for him since he can't afford it.

Playing golf and smoking cigars has turned into one of the few bright spots in his life so I would hate for him not to have something to smoke.

So... any suggestions?? One stick I have found that I really enjoy for about $1.50 - $2.00 each is the Devil's Weed from CI. They are surprisingly tasty for the price. He does like the smaller cigars... robusto or smaller although I'm sure he would not turn down a toro or something similar.

My wife and I are on a fairly tight budget ourselves so any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks!!

You said he likes smaller cigars, but how about some big ol' Salomons that will last him 9 holes or more? I was selling 28 of them but if you send me your address I'd be happy to give them to you and your cousin. PM me on where to send them!

That is awesome Mike... Thanks!! PM sent. I'm sure he will be just fine with salomon considering I gave his several of em and he smoked em just fine.

I really appreciate it and I know he will too. Back when I gave him the humi, cigars and all the needed things to smoke em he got pretty sentimental which isn't at all normal for him. He had been through a lot and quite frankly isn't used to people doing such nice things for him so I know that he will appreciate them :thumbsup:

5 vegas classic, A series, or Gold.

Dirt cheap on cigarbid. $1-2 a pop depending on size. Real good consistent smokes.

Bahia Maduros are a really nice smoke for about $1.50-2.00 a stick. Flor de Olivas are also pretty tasty and fall in that range.
