Sorry about the unemployed bit, I was out of work for 13 months myself. Construction took a big hit.
Anyway, back to the topic, I am not sure if they are machine or hand, but you can get a 20 count box of 5 vegas cask strength for 55-65 on cbid. Also, Oliveros classic, from CI, for like 1.40 a cigar, is pretty decent after a month or more in the humidor. Another decent (overall) cigar for cheap is Ghurkha Park ave 44. The only one of the three I actually smoke is the 5 vegas, but my smoke/shovel buddy smokes the Oliveros and Gurhka and swears by them, and he usually has pretty good taste, lol.
Good luck with work bud, it suck, I know.
