Cheap Ash: Don Barreto Toro Flaco
It would be nice to reach into the humidor every time and pull out and Opus X, Ashton VSG or an Liga Privada No. 9, but finances don’t  always allow for that.  So many cigar enthusiasts have experimented with different  budget concious cigars.  Some of these cigars are big winners and others are obvious losers; but you could draw a similar comparison when it comes to the higher priced cigars as well.  In this article, the first in our Cheap Ash series, I’ll sample the Don Barreto Toro Flaco, a cigar that can be found for approximately $2.00 a stick.
