Everyday Cigar

Hi all, ive just recently gotten into cigars about 2 months ago. i've tried a lot of different brands and i tend to really like the high end stuff (Davidoff, Ashton, Ep Carillo, Padrons) . I'm now trying to find an everyday  stick but i am having no luck. ive basically tried a lot of other brands (my father, monte, alec bradley, Tatuaje etc but i find most of these really sucks) did i do myself a disservice  by initially trying the high end stuff? can someone who is experienced suggest a great budget stick($5-$7)? Thanks , i also like Rocky but i wouldnt consider these a daily maybe a step down from high end.

    But only being into cigars for 2 months, you will never find a "daily cigar".
    Your tastebuds are getting used to cigars and will change as you go.
    So trying to find a cigar for a daily cigar is kind of hopeless.

    You consider Rocky a step down from high end???
    You got some learnin.

    But then again, what do I know about high end?

    Watch for when we get excited and post about the daily deal right here too.

    You can call a sales rep here and tell them what you liked and ask for some recommendations, they should be able to help.
    I'll gladly bomb you Tuesday for an Opus today.

    taste is completely subjective.  nobody can tell you what you like.
    This oft repeated chestnut is never helpful.

    Not to them, but It's helpful to us. Newbs (or DR) keep coming up with these labor intensive questions. "I like x and y but z was sucky. Can you pick a budget cigar for me that I will love and smoke every day?" No! F#ck that! The chestnut is helpful.

    The right cigar is the one that's in your hand, lit and being enjoyed.  Doesn't matter who made it, where it's from or what shape it is.  You may get some needling, but at the end of the day, needling doesn't matter. Just fire the thing up, sit back and enjoy the ride.
    I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...

    so they don't suck because you like them? :)  lighten up buddy.   We are humans and its about personal taste . I currently work with someone who thinks Davidoff is horrible while i do disagree with him i don't claim he is wrong .. he just dont like em thats what makes us humans. Like i said ive tried a few my father and im just not impressed. The reason i asked my question was for the experienced folks to respond  maybe someone could identify the "Type/flavor profiles etc" and could identify a cheap stick thats along the same line. I suggest you chill out and go smoke one. Remember you were a newbie once and lastly i dont like meanies :)

    If you like Davidoff then try Avo. They can be in the 5-8 range

    Some are great one day and not so much the next time.
    So true, what you just ate, didn’t eat, what you are drinking, what mood you are in, whether you rush or take your time with it, how long it rests, all seem to play into it.  I may love one and then next time I am wondering what happened haha.
