I am a fan of Romeo y Julieta cigars. Not trendy, but "reliable."
RyJ Reserva Real
RyJ Habana Reserves
Don Pepin Blue
(...for a more value minded Don Pepin, the Tabacos Baez line is pretty inexpensive)
For a medium-full value cigar, I like "Blue label." It is Honduran, with a corojo/criollo wrapper.

Enjoy!
