Reply #30: Some of my faves

Most can be found in the $5-10 range, if that's what you mean by not too expensive.

La Gloria Cubana Maduro Wavell - A dark and powerful little smoke, short and stubby, but full of heavy flavors. Some hints of chocolate, licorice, and peat.
Romeo y Julieta Cedros - They come in either the #1 (a little larger) or the smaller #2. This is medium bodied, natural wrapper. It has a very full predominately herbal (cedar) flavor with a leafy flavor secondary.
Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur - Many sizes to choose from. A very good quality smoke, always consistent and a prefect draw. Medium bodied with an earthy, slightly spicy taste with just a faint hint of cinnamon.
Padron 3000 - A medium bodied cigar with a proficient amount of smoke. Very good construction and even burn. A nice blend of earthy and nutty flavor.
El Rey del Mundo - A medium to full bodied smoke. Beautiful dark, oily wrapper. A very noticeable nutty flavor with a hint of peat and faint cocoa. It also gets better and better toward the finish.
Ashton - A mild to medium smoke. Not terribly exciting or complex, but a nice peppery flavor if you're in the mood for something different.
