I have 2 samplers containing Avo Classics, a favorite, and CAO Golds, and I'm looking to spend my hobby fund on a single that's also of medium strength that's under $7 from CI. Looking I found a Rocky Patel, but figured I ought to ask if I passed up something, though I must confess to being hesitant to buy something with a weird name. I'm looking both for something that equalls an Avo but may also be 1/3 the cost as I'd like to find a box that can show up to my door for no more than $100.
Suggestions?

I'd consider something comparable with another vendor (I'm also looking at a small travelin humidor for under $20.
Avo Classics are a must as I know I enjoy them."Were I to leave where else would I go? Your words of life and of truth You hold." - Third Day

I really enjoy the rocky patel CT, Also the Ave Maria. Avo is a great smoke but the others I mentioned I smoke on a regular basis.

I'll throw out to give the CAO Black a try...
I find it to be a good smooth, creamy cigar (especially after some resting). Boxes can be had for well under $100...

I will second the Ave Marias for an affordable, medium smoke. The RP Connecticuts are ok, but I'm not much of a CT fan to begin with.
I also like the Room 101 Big Payback, but it might be a tad stronger than you are looking for.

You can find Jaime Garcia REs for under $5 at times online...In my opinion those blow anything Rocky makes out of the water.
