How long do you typically smoke? The Nica Libre Perfecto's are $2/cigar right now, and they're fantastic - but at that size, it lasts much longer than the robusto's you've listed.

+ 1 on the Nica Libre another one you might want to consider is the Oliveros Classic Corona. nice flavor and burn and comes in at $1.99 a stick.
I'd recommend any of the Arganese - much overlooked- or the La Aurora seconds. Also, have you checked out the "Thrifty Thirty" sampler? Some solid smokes in that one for @$2.
check out the ccom members review site CrapCigars.com great info there. For a personal opinion, i think the Resposado 96 Habano is a great smoke for $2
I have a lot of LPH Classics on hand. Aside from the Series 68 that is pretty much my go to cigar. I also like it for an everyday stick. That's just my opinion.
From your two options, I would definitely go with the La Perla's. Have you tried the Carlos Torano Dominico yet? When it comes to budget smokes, its really hard to beat them.
Call/e-mail your rep, and if you don't have one, pick Tim. He might be able to make some sticks that you think are a bit over the threshold fall down below. The beard can often do magic.
i knowhow u feel , i have a friend that is going through alot , and when i see him , i give him like 3-4 sticks.....he doesnt know anything about cigars, and every time we hang out, i tell him more and more about this wonderful hobby( sport)....anyways.......i love the puro indios viejo......i can usually find them 5 for 5 bucks on some auctions, so i stock up , when i have people over..
i even had a fellow that smokes and knows about cigars, try one fot he veijo, and he simply loved it........try it out, and let me know
Conga is a unique extension of the La Perla Habana Black Pearl line. The blend is complex, featuring a thick Brazilian wrapper hugging a mellow composition of Nicaraguan long leaf fillers bound by a tasty Indonesian binder. The result is a mild to medium bodied cigar bursting with flavor. Packaged inside an interesting "conga drum" style box.
this also is a good cigar and inexpensive, .....ihave the veiojos and the conga waiting for those that want to smoke at my place., but have no idea about cigars.....
Depends on what you are looking for. I know Alex hates when people refer to the Diesel as a budget stick, because the blend really does contain tobacco as good or better than the tobacco used in any 7-8$ sticks, but the Diesel is one of the best deals on the market, at 100 bucks or whatever for a SLB of THIRTY smokes. Plus they age well, so buy two boxes, smoke one box now, and by the time you finish the first box, the second box will have some age on them, and be really fantastic.
The LPH line are always A good deal. Fine taste and flavor. The La Herencia Cubana's are also A good deal. Medium bodied and flavor. The Cuba Libre Brute is A little strong for A beginner.
Never had one, but for the price, or almost that price, you can get a box of the old blend Pinar Del Rio Habano Sun Growns in just about any size, and they are killer every day smokes. Great flavor, good performance, and yeah... inexpensive. I think Tim hooked me up with boxes of Lanceros for like 60$ each, but the Petite coronas or whatever are even cheaper. for 25$ a box you're going to have a really hard time finding a full sized cigar that is really worth your while.

Which one's are the "old blend"? I've seen these mentioned the site on several occasions and I'm curious... can you point me in their direction?
