I tried 2 of them when I was just getting started. They almost turned me off of cigar smoking.

For $2 a stick you can get some decent smokes on C-Bid.

Pinar Del Rio Habano Sungrown are really good for that price IMO, as are the Oscuro line from PDR.
Bahia cigars are good at that price point as well

Those are my 3 choices in the $2 range. All leaps and bounds better than Quorum to me.
