You have not liked Padron? Interesting, because I think the 1000 series of one of the best lower priced cigars out there. I absolutely much prefer the Padron Maduros over the naturals.
And there are few that will argue the 1926 Serie are some of the best on the market (again, I definitely prefer the Maduro's). It's one of my main go-to cigars when I really want to smoke something nice.
Have you tried Davidoff at all?
