A couple extra dollars moves you to the Padron 1964 or 1926 which I think are great smokes.

According to my view if you have newly found your interest in cigar then getting right taste may be bit tougher task for you. When new cigars arrive, take a good look at them. Two things to look out for at this point: excessive dryness; excessive moistness. Another thing to keep in mind: if you're keeping your cigars in the humidor over a long period, it makes a lot of sense to rotate them every few months. There is a myth about flavor amongst layman that every Cuban Cigars uses same tobacco and hence has same flavor. However, the reality is perfectly different. There is a broad variety of tobacco and its flavor as well you can gain adequate information about connoisseur of fine cigar from your nearest cigar shop. It does not matter whether the shopkeeper smokes or not.

You have some good points. I dont really know what I am looking for in a cigar. I just know when I smoke it if I like it or not. I find that the Romeo y Juliets are a bit mild. And the Cohibas are a bit strong. I would pick a Cohiba over the Romeo y Juliet but I cant afford to smoke them all the time. I want something in a similar strength but much less expensive.

I guess I dont really consider a 5-10$ cigar a "cheap" smoke. great suggestions thus far but there are infinite possibilities out there. The fun part is narrowing down the group to what you like. If the budget allowed for 10$ a smoke (3-4 a day) I'd likely smoke only cuban, maybe with a NC to start the day off. A good way imo to try alot of different smokes is to experiment enough to know what you like (brand, country of origin, etc) and then buy brand samplers. I started smoking more lately after quitting cigs and was surprised by the NC market since I last looked. Rocky patel must have 12 lines out so a 50$ sampler gave me a toro in each line to try them out. Same with Perdomo. You'll always want to try new sticks as they come out so enjoy the process.

I don't know what is inexpensive or what is cheap for you. For a good quality Cuban cigar, I am ready to pay till $10. Inexpensive and cheap do not always mean the same. So we need to be careful in finding out what we are looking at.
