For me, it's pretty tough to beat an Perdomo Fresco Toro Maduro for less than $2.50 a piece. As I experience more and better cigars (thanks to the folks on this forum btw), the Fresco is less appealing. However, if you are in the same boat I was about a year ago.....these will be perfect to get the hobby started.

PS If you prefer a bit milder smoke, try the naturals.
