And - if you're going to outright ask for recommendations, wouldn't it be better to let everyone know what it is you liked/disliked about the cigars you already smoked?
You may also want to do research on the cigars you've liked. Perhaps there something in common - such as a Cameroon wrapper, or the filler was from a specific country, etc.
Or - you can just remain clueless and bitter because you take offense to others trying to help you develop your palate by blindly leaving it to the community to pick cigars for you...
I spent quite a bit of time reading through the reviews and making a list of things to try. I'm happy to say, I found a lot of cigars I like thanks to the reviews. It IS a really good place to start and I highly recommend you follow the advice above and go there and do some reading and make a list for yourself. I also make it a point whenever I go to the B&M to buy at least one cigar I've never tried before.

Doc gave you some good suggestions. Your price range of under $10 is chock full of very nice, not-so-mild cigars.
Here's just a couple:
JDN
El Cobre
Berger and Argenti
Camacho
Just to add to Jamie's mentions above:
Oliva (I really like the series V maduro)
Padron
My Father
Santa Damiana
