What are the best products a person can buy? Drink, smoke, clothes, food. Any price defying revelations are very welcome. I.e., a low price product that beats the shit out of the high priced alternative.

Cigarettes: I go for Natural American Spirit. As for cigars , I’ve never had better than a Montecristo cigar.

Best Energy Drink: Jones Soda Can of Whoopass.

Not too sweet, not too medicinal, doesn't taste like pink children's chewable tylenol, available in Canadian (cola) and American (orange) varieties. Has a blatently irresponsible ad team, and is made by Jones Soda, which is pretty nifty on its own. Not really much more expensive than any other energy drink, and boy, does it make me crackle.

Cigar: Lately I've been smoking the best cigars I've ever had. Macanudo Duke of Windsor from 1996. Which makes pre the move from Jamaica to the Dominican Republic. Full of flavour though not too spicy. I've had a post-move version and there's no contest, obviously the 6 year ageing helps.

Cubans are getting better, but for the last couple of years the huge demand for them has led to a decline in quality. Unaged tobacco and poor rolling, honestly you're better off with something from Jamaica or the Dominican Republic.
