Suggestions for an everyday smoke

You can't go wrong with Perdomos and that was an excellent suggestion about the Padron 3000.

Another route is factory seconds. Alec Bradley, Perdomo and RP have 2nds that are very good and are great for when you're doing things around the house or when you're not wanting to burn a premium "banded" stick. The flavor is still the same but you just don't pay as much as the banded version due to a blemish somewhere on the sticks.

Also, I keep them on hand when I have friends over and they want to just "try" a cigar - one puff, one cough and they're done. Ever have THAT happen to you? Ergo, the 2nds.
