GH “How do you like that cigar?”, DW “It’s good sir”, GH “It’s your first?”, DW (coughing) “Yeah”, GH “Well, don’t like it too much. They’re more expensive than drugs” - Gene Hackman to Denzel Washington in Crimson Tide.

Quotesccrom1 - 5/15/2017 8:37 AMTo me the key is value Vs budget. As an example I have been a 601Serie fan for several years. I could pay $100-$140 for a box that works out to $5 or $7 a stick, but I don't unless it is a deal that you can't refuse such as buy one box get one free. Normally though I stay on top of the online deals. For example on friday a bundle/sampler sale was posted on bestcigarprices.com. One of the deals was a 20 count Espinosa sampler(4 601 blue, 4 601 red, 4 601 la bomba, 4 601 pennylvania and 4 Espinosa Laranja. The price was $42 or a whopping $2.10 a stick. If you priced the above cigars at box prices they would average around $7.00 a stick. I would say that this is both "budget" and "value".
If you are looking for actual suggestions,
here's a few of the budget smokes I really enjoy smoking on a regular basis.
I am sure you could get 20-30 more from others here.
Alec Bradley K 147- $4.50/stick only available @ Thompson Cigars is a 4.5 star rated cigar Medium Bodied
My Father La Reloba Seleccion Oscurro- Another Thompson exclusive is also a 4 star rated cigar for $3.05/stick Medium/ Full Bodied
