    Smile Just an intro, and perhaps a silly question.

    It may be because I'm tired, but I couldn't find anywhere for an intro. So I decided to throw one together here. I've been smoking cigars for a little while now, and I'm starting to get a bit more into it. My current line up is none too impressive, but I'm looking to learn more about cigars. My question is this: are there any cigars that you guys would recommend for an every day smoker? Something inexpensive, but still good. I have a few cigars that I really dig, like the Gurkha Warlord, and a few other mild-mids that I quite enjoyed, but they are well out of my budget for an every day smoke. I was thinking about a newbie sampler that I've been hearing about, as well. I'm looking forward to learning more on here. Thanks, guys.

    A nice mild everyday smoke for me are the 5 Vegas Gold and Classic, Camacho SLyM #2, and the Camacho Pre-Embargo '62.

    I don't know mild from jalapeno, but one of the best cigars for the price out there (imho) is the Fumadores, which run about 40-45 for a box of 20 at Holts.

    And welcome from MT.

    Welcome to the board. I'll second the fumadores and add in Flor de Oliva maduro for a good cheap smoke.

    Thanks for the suggestions and the warm welcome, guys. I've been looking around at a few of your suggestions, and I think I may try the Flor de Oliva or Fumadores. They seem to be right where I'd like them as far as price, and from the reviews I've read they seem to fit my personal tastes. I am looking forward to broadening my horizons, however, so I may look into getting a few single sticks of the other ones as well. Thanks again, guys.

    Welcome...Try the AF Sungrown Chateau. Lots of bang for the buck in those smokes.

    Try Fonseca Vintage, El Rey del Mundo or Cuesta Rey Cameroon Stanford's Reserve.

    Or the Padron thousand series. Can't go wrong. I prefer the maduros.
