You don’t have to spend a fortune to enjoy a good cigar. Value cigars and bundle cigars are popular with smokers who want an affordable, dependable smoke for everyday enjoyment.
At LM Cigars, we carry a variety of affordable cigars, from traditional bundle cigars to well-known machine-made favorites. Here are four of our most popular value options.
Trader Jacks Bags
Trader Jacks are a great choice for smokers looking for an affordable everyday cigar. The standard Trader Jack’s Bag features a flavorful Ecuadorian Sungrown wrapper over Dominican filler. The cigars are made in the USA and have a smooth to medium strength.
The 6.25″ x 45 size gives you a classic long, slender cigar that’s easy to enjoy when you’re relaxing at home, on the boat, or outdoors. Trader Jacks also have a touch of aromatic island spice, giving them a little extra character compared with a traditional unflavored cigar.

- Origin: USA
- Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sungrown
- Shape: 6.25″ x 45
- Strength: Smooth to Medium
- Filler: Dominican
Black & Mild Original Cigars
Black & Mild Original is a longtime favorite among smokers looking for an affordable, convenient cigar. Unlike traditional premium cigars, Black & Mild is a machine-made cigar and is known for its distinctive format and familiar tobacco character.
The Original is a particularly recognizable choice for smokers who want a convenient, inexpensive smoke rather than a traditional premium handmade cigar. LM Cigars has carried Black & Mild as part of its selection of affordable everyday cigars.

Luis Martinez No. 611 Factory Throwouts
Luis Martinez No. 611 Factory Throwouts are made for smokers who put value first. These cigars feature specially aged Dominican tobaccos and a wrapper leaf similar to those used on more expensive imported cigars.
The key to their value is the wrapper’s appearance: the leaf can be slightly off-color, allowing the cigars to be sold at a significantly lower price while still delivering a smooth, flavorful smoke.
The No. 611 is a 6.25″ x 45 cigar and is rated smooth to medium. They’re a great example of why a cigar’s appearance doesn’t always tell you what the smoking experience will be like.
Quick Facts About Factory Throwouts:
- Origin: USA
- Wrapper: Select wrapper leaf
- Shape: 6.25″ x 45
- Strength: Smooth to Medium
- Filler: Dominican
Quorum Cigars
Quorum Cigars are one of the best-known names in the value cigar category. Handmade in Nicaragua, Quorum cigars use Nicaraguan tobacco and are available in several blends, including Classic, Shade, and Maduro.
The Quorum Classic features an Ecuadorian Sungrown wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler and is medium strength. Quorum Shade uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper for a smoother, milder profile and is rated smooth to medium. Quorum Maduro features aged nicaraguan binder and filler like the classic, but adds a rich, dark, Maduro wrapper.
The different blends make Quorum a particularly good choice for smokers who want to explore different wrapper styles without spending premium-cigar prices.
