Gispert is also very good, if you like the lighter stuff.

The Double Maduros are tasty, but they seem to unravel as soon as I clip the cap.

I second a definition of "value."

My guess:

< 2$ = Cheap
2$ - 4$ = Value
4$ - 6$ = Mid Range
$6 - 8$ = Nice Cigar
8$ - 12$ = Premium
12$ - 20$ = High End
20$+ = Super Premium

These are MSRP's

I have had this as well, but the flavor of these beauties makes up for it usually. If the caps were perfect, they would totally awesome.

I would define, in line with my budget, a value smoke as a box/bundle of 20/25/26 for under $100, giving a single cigar price equal to or less than $5.

Not that you can't find good boxes/bundles for far less than $100, but I would suggest this as a good guideline.

I totally forgot about those. They are a great budget smoke. I have only had the Graffiti, not the Graffiti Liga 2. Can you tell a big difference?

I just smoked a Don Elias Churchill tonight.

What a great $1 or less cigar. If you like Davidoff, this may be the yard gar for you.

If you have champagne tastes and ice water budget, give this a try.

I just poted this review:

I was just introduced to Villa Dominicana. In California, they run just under $3 and for the price it's a fantastic smoke.

La Flor Dominicana Chisels, actually, the whole Double Ligero line.

Oliva Serie V Lancero. The other sizes are just as good but as far as value, the Lancero wins.

Im suprised at how many people consider cubans to be "value" cigars. I would hardly consider them to be placed in such a basic category.

Indian Tobac Fire
Oliva Serie G cameroon
Punch Gran Puro
tatuaje Havana IV

Most of the CC in this list are less money then the ones you listed as your value smokes!

Why not? A cab of 50 Partagas Shorts is less than $200, 25 Partagas Mille Fleur and Romeo y Julieta Regalias de Londres are both about $70, all of the Romeo y Julieta Romeo cigars cost much less than a Benjamin, a box of Fonseca Cosacos and H. Upmann Coronas Major are both less than $100, Punch has some inexpensives tubed smokes and many offerings from Hoyo de Monterrey's Le Hoyo line are less than $100. All of these are fantastic smokes at much less than $100-per-25 shipped; is that not a "value" cigar? Because I'd like to think it is :ss

I'll add a couple of my favorites that I did not seen mentioned:

Famous Maduro Nicaraguan (less than $2.50)
Vigilante Corojo by RP (less than $2, but not sure how available this is anymore)
