For me the Perdomo ESV '91 is a good mild-medium everyday type cigar. I smoke a lot of the seconds as they go for around $3 each and are as good as the banded, boxed ones.
Another good one is the Padilla Habano, again available as a second for a lower price.
There are so many choices, it is mind boggling. Since you just joined the COTMC, you'll get a chance to smoke a lot of different cigars. Another thing you could do is call in your orders, ask for Jeff Jackson, and see if he can grab you some of the "Daily Deal" prices for a variety of different cigars - maybe a couple of each, rather than 5 at a time. If you don't have the money or the room for 200 cigars, it will be difficult to order 5 at a time on a regular basis and try out lots of different cigars. Just a thought.
Some of my favorite mild-medium smokes that you can get at ccom: Gran Habano 3 Siglos, 5 Vegas Gold or Series A, Tatuaje Havana VI (heh, my fav), Nica Libre, Nub Connecticut, Padron 2000, and so so many more.
those are just threads from the past. i dont really mind the repeat topics because opinions can change on this topic.

my "everyday" smoke isnt everyday. i dont get that opportunity. i smoke what i like. most often it is a full bodied cigar, not mild or medium (though i do appreciate those as well. ) and when i smoke, the price of the cigar is the farthest thing from my mind. like i said, i dont get to smoke often so i smoke what i like.
Edit: When I think of an everyday cigar, I think of a cigar that I buy more than just a 5-pack or special here and there. It is a cigar that will always be in my rotation. The Sol Cuban Cubano Cabinet is that cigar for me. I would also say the 5 Vegas Classic but I like the variety in that line. I have a few other regulars but I don't stock them like this stick. For the price (around $2 per) you can't beat it. Be careful with advice though, a stick that I like, you may not. I'd call the 800 number and explain to the guys what you have liked in the past and they will get a variety together for you.
If you're new to the cigar scene, I wouldn't worry about an "everyday cigar".... Your time now should be spent trying as many different sticks as possible. It's gonna take a few years of sampling to find that "go-to" cigar. I like Casa Magnas. They're about $5 each if you buy a box. But there's still so many sticks I have yet to try. So, it all depends on your budget and your taste. Give yourself some time to figure out your likes and dislikes. Pretty soon, you'll just know what your "daily cigar" is.

less often, more quality.
I think I am probably in this category as well. When I have a cigar, I choose based on:
A.) Length of time I want/have to be outside
B.) What time of day it is
C.) What do I "feel" like, or what flavor am I looking for.
Price only enters the equation when I am buying sticks.
The only milder cigar I would smoke on a daily basis would be either an Oliva Connecticut reserve or a Gurkha Symphony. Those two always hit the spot when you are in the mood for a mellow but tasty conny.

For a nice mild smoke. I would put them all in the more Mild than Mild/Med.
Prolly thought they may have been more mild/med a year or so ago, but as my tastes have changed these have moved down the spectrum to mild.
I've been smoking at least 1/day for over 25 years and when the weather is nice 2 or 3 per day. For a morning smoke I love the Acid 5's with strong black coffee. Top grade cigar and the sweetness goes good with coofee in the early morning. Partigas naturals are one of my daily types. If I had the money, I'd smoke the high end Arturo Fuente's. Hemingway maduro's and Anejo are my favs. Ashtons are another good choice especialy the aged maduros. Past two years I've enjoed smoking a lot of different full bodies, like the MOW I'm smoking right now. I also find certain times when a Acid 3, kuba-kuba and acid one's are very enjoyable. Lots of people talk down the Acid line but I find the aformentioned to be top quality cigars. I remember the days were when I loved the H Upman lonsdals were outstanding and cost me $42/25 box and AF 8-5-8's were $36/box. There are so many good cigars now that I find it hard to pin down any certain cigars. Were are in cigar heaven, If one has the money!

That aside, I find the mild-medium cigars I reach for most are the Perdomo ESV 91 and the Montecristo White.
