I like the Rocky Patel The Edge for a decent, relatively inexpensive smoke (~$6), either the Corojo or the Maduro. However, I bought a 15-cigar bundle of 'imperfect' Edges a couple weeks ago and they suck. Not at all like what the regular Edge tastes like. I don't even think they're from the same factory as other Edges I've smoked. I rarely buy boxes, and I've never bought a bundle before. Live and learn, you get what you pay for. I paid $50 for the 15 cigar bundle, and I'll probably end up tossing them. I'll continue to buy single Edges from a local tobacconist.
+1 on the Sun Grown Rocky Patels, too, although I still prefer The Edge (when I can find them).
I recommend Bauza cigars, if you haven't tried them. Very smooth, and consistent. Great mid-price smoke.
