$5-7 is a pretty good price point I think. Always up for getting a stick I enjoy at a cheaper price though.

This is kind of tough for me, because if you smoke everyday, and I try, my "quality cheap" cigars during the week or different than on the weekends. I have a weekday humi and a weekend/vacation humi.
That being said ~$3-$4 weekdays and $5-$8 weekends

This is spot on IMO. Haven t had the GHV2002, but I know what he's trying to say.

There are just so many really nice quality cigars you can get for $3-$4, especially when on sale or auction. So many Padillas, DPGs, Man o' War Ruination, 601/Cubaos, even a few Tats. Honestly, that's kind of my go-to price range or "everyday" smokes.
My "good" price range then goes up to $6, and in that range I can find almost anything that I really like. Most of my Tats, Illusiones, regular-line Padrons, etc ... heck, I just scored some Tat Especiales for $6/stick and have purchase My Fathers for just a hair more than that.
$6-$10 is a "something nice" price range. Liga Privadas, PAM '64s, the nicer Tats and Illusiones, etc. I usually smoke 2-3 of those a month. Higher than $10 and we're talking a special occasion cigar for me--though admittedly I usually find a "special occasion" at least once a month
Plus there are vacations or special weeks where I"ll smoke a number of my nicest sticks ... those weeks are awesome, lol.
NOTE: All my prices are PRICE OF ACQUISITION, so there will be some auction/sale sticks at the same price range as some retail-priced sticks, though the sale sticks may be much nicer in reality. Also, if a stick is now out of production or from somewhere ... special ... it will automatically be bumped up a category or two regardless of how much I paid for it!

Not too many cigars out there for less than $6 that I would smoke when purchased by the stick. When purchased by the box on sale that is a little different story as there is usually a discount involved. I think the avg price of my smokes are around $9-$10.
After smoking through the CI catalog many, many years ago insearch of the "qaulity" cheap cigar I came to the realization that the cost is really meaningless. There are some incredible cuban sticks in that can be had on sale in the $5 to $6 range. I look for cigars I love to smoke. Some are as low as $3.00 a stick (thank you Cigar Cowboy) and some are upwards of $50. It's all about the cigar and the enjoyment. Not the money.
Good luck in your search.
