Default Looking for a a good value cigar

Hey everyone, being that this is my first post I thought that I would start by asking everyone if they knew of a good value line cigar. I bought a box of Leoninos by Aurora about 1.5 years ago and they have turned into a real suprisingly good smoke after letting them age a little more. Now I am almost out of them and looking for something for an everyday smoke instead of just breaking into my good stash. Any Ideas??

Try a search, there's a thread called Cheap Smoke Thread with all kinds of suggestions.

what price range do you call value line? If you shop cigar.com, joes ci specials and cigarbid you can find some really quality smokes at value prices, often cheap as no name bundles. also what sort of strength do you like would help folks give you some pointers.

I've been told about these, I haven't had one yet.
My biggest thing is that I don't want to think I'm smoking a backwoods.

I would call value line like around $50-$60, if there's anything cheaper, then I'm all ears, however i've found once you get to a certain point, I start questioning whether they mixed in hay or not.

what sort of flavor do you like? again if you like a medium flavored cigar go for the flor de oliva golds... if you like something spicy.. check out the fumadores at holts.. a DPG blend

best smoke for the buck, which I've been saying for years, is Perdomo Lot 23. These babies are killer and you can't beat the prices from most retailers.

Maduro or Coroho, I've had the Maduro, not a bad medium body smoke

I don't think you can do much better than this on any given day:

The Padilla Signature 1932 Mega-Sampler includes 20 cigars:
5 - Padilla Signature 1932 Robusto (5" x 50)
5 - Padilla Signature 1932 Toro (6" x 50)
5 - Padilla Signature 1932 Torpedo (6.1" x 52)
5 - Padilla Signature 1932 Churchill (7" x 48)

Save nearly $200 on Padilla's 93-rated beauty - then tack on the buck-a-stick Padilla Salomon upgrade offer for even bigger savings.

$64.99 for 25 premium stix

Everyone has raved about those. Must be good.

The Padron x000 line will nearly always give you the coffee flavor you like, so that might be an option, but I haven't priced boxes for quite a while.

I'm a fan of the RyJ Havana Reserve robustos. You can get a box of 27 for about $80. Medium body and strength, but pretty well constructed and I have found them to be consistent.
