No forbidden fruit for me as I usually only smoke them on special occasions since I have been very good at avoiding that slope.

Define "value smoke".

I had a guy say that to me when I was praising a certain cigar. "Ya that's a pretty good "value smoke" like someone just took a dump in his mouth. Made me feel like I was smoking (and enjoying) cheap chit.

Anything Sancho Panza is awesome. I'm a fan of the extra furete most, but the double maduro also rocks.
Gispert is also very good, if you like the lighter stuff.

The Double Maduros are tasty, but they seem to unravel as soon as I clip the cap.

I second a definition of "value."

My guess:

< 2$ = Cheap
2$ - 4$ = Value
4$ - 6$ = Mid Range
$6 - 8$ = Nice Cigar
8$ - 12$ = Premium
12$ - 20$ = High End
20$+ = Super Premium

These are MSRP's

I have had this as well, but the flavor of these beauties makes up for it usually. If the caps were perfect, they would totally awesome.

I would define, in line with my budget, a value smoke as a box/bundle of 20/25/26 for under $100, giving a single cigar price equal to or less than $5.

Not that you can't find good boxes/bundles for far less than $100, but I would suggest this as a good guideline.

I just smoked a Don Elias Churchill tonight.

What a great $1 or less cigar. If you like Davidoff, this may be the yard gar for you.

If you have champagne tastes and ice water budget, give this a try.

I just poted this review:

I was just introduced to Villa Dominicana. In California, they run just under $3 and for the price it's a fantastic smoke.

La Flor Dominicana Chisels, actually, the whole Double Ligero line.

Oliva Serie V Lancero. The other sizes are just as good but as far as value, the Lancero wins.

Why not? A cab of 50 Partagas Shorts is less than $200, 25 Partagas Mille Fleur and Romeo y Julieta Regalias de Londres are both about $70, all of the Romeo y Julieta Romeo cigars cost much less than a Benjamin, a box of Fonseca Cosacos and H. Upmann Coronas Major are both less than $100, Punch has some inexpensives tubed smokes and many offerings from Hoyo de Monterrey's Le Hoyo line are less than $100. All of these are fantastic smokes at much less than $100-per-25 shipped; is that not a "value" cigar? Because I'd like to think it is :ss
