So why does it have to be high end for them to say "Wow, that's a good smoke"?
Personally I find most regular Davidoff cigars boring. Mild yes, but really lacking in flavor and character. The Millenium and Nicaragua lines are good, but those are not mild.
Try Gurkha Park Avenue or Montecristo White. The MSRP is high, but you can usually find for $4-5/ea.
