Right up my alley here Joshua, I've worked in cigar shops for years, been smoking two a day since 1992. As far as a good bargain brand, I can't help you much on that one, my brands are usually Cain, La Flor Dominicana Air Benders, Tatuaje and of course the love of my life, Opus X. I've got just around 600 Opus in my humidor at home.

In the end, its very simple, smoke what you like, like what you smoke.
