Padron 2000 Maddy or Natural always come to mind...just a great smoke for a good price.

Just remembered that the new Oliva Conn. Reserve would be great also. A nice mild full flavored smoke that anyone should like.

Great suggestions here. I would also recommend the RyJ Habana Reserve. Mild, and pretty inexpensive with 27 in a box.

If you want something really special for a great price I recommend the 601 Habano Oscuro La Punta box of 20 for $88.20 at Lilbrown. This is a fantastic smoke for a great price.

I think you can't go wrong with any of the Padron x000s. Great value cigars.

I love the Oliva Connecticuts, and I just bought a 5-pack of Sancho Panza Double Maduros to try because of the recommendations on this board. I smoked my first one last night and I loved it...creamy, rich, smooth, not too mild or too strong...just great !! Thanks for the opinions ! I've just ordered a box of them for a great price.

Great to hear... I went with the Sancho Panza DMs in the La Mancha (Petit Corona) vitola. I'm pretty sure it's a petit corona, I'm still a newb. Anyway, lookin forward to the box.

My stand by box for this type of scenario is Fuente 8-5-8 Maduros. Tasty enough that anyone will enjoy them, inexpensive enough that if the "I'll try one" crowd pitches them you won't cry about it.
