What is your favorite $5 or under daily smoke and why?

There are a lot of cc's that'll do it, Mark hit a bunch. Great list.
So far as NC's go, Sancho Panza maduro's and Extra Fuerte's are excellent. Or at least I think so. Haven't had one in a couple years, but I never had a bad one and they're always perfect and consistent.

Pardon me because I'm going to go all fanboy here. The sancho panza extra fuerte and double maduro are amazing sticks. When I say that without caveat of "budget" I mean it. It's not only a great budget stick I.e. Cigar intl. magazine retail right now is about 60/box20 with a 20$ gift card thrown in, but they look amazing have great wrappers and construction a sweet box press if that's something you are into, and the box itself is great, a lit of inexpensive smokes are cheaply packaged in either mazos or cardboard boxes, the sancho panza boxes are even awesome. If you have never tried them you need to do this.

No, I don't work for sancho panza, but it's the first cigar I ever fell in love with.

No, I don't work for sancho panza, but it's the first cigar I ever fell in love with. To be honest with you even if you did work for them wouldn't that just be the greatest job to have?
