#2000 Padron Maddies are awesome w/ some age. Tat Series P aren't bad either, pretty good flavors.

Padron 2000 Maduro & Diesel are just over $3
DPG Blue, JJ Maduro, Cain, Padilla 32 & Dominus, and 601s can usually be found for around $4

Obviously it depends on what you consider inexpensive. To me, $4 is not a "cheap cigar." If it were, 90% of my smokes would be cheap cigars, lol (and perhaps to many of you they are).

To me, a cheap cigar is $2 or less. I smoke quite a few in this range, though. Thank you cigarbid :)

When I think of cheap I think of sub $4, lot of decent smokes to be had at 4 to 5 dollars a stick. Therefore I will second the Holt's LHO III's. Excellent and with just a couple months of down time they seem to smooth out and remind me of DPG Cuban Classics.

+1. When I pay more than $5/stick in an on-line order, feels like I'm splurging on a high-end stick. Maybe it's because there are so many good cigars in the $3 - $5 range, spending more seems like diminishing returns. Or maybe I'm just not that sophisticated/educated of a smoker. Oh well, ignorance is bliss in this case.

Same here. I'll pay $6/stick for something really nice that I like (Tat Noella, El Triunfador, PAN/PAM, Guapos), but it's rare that I pay more than that. Exceptions include Tst Monsters, Tat Verocu, Tat Black, Anejo, Opus -- i.e. HTFs that I really love and simply don't get cheaper.
