I know I'm kinda late on this thread...But I gave up cigarettes for Swisher Sweets Little Cigars.They are the same size as cigarettes and they also have a filter.I prefer the Cherry flavor.BTW,they cost a little over $2 a pack,vs. cigarettes over $3 a pack.It doesn't stink up the truck lol.They're pretty good.I've never really tried any other brands though,except for Backwoods.I looooooooove their Rum cigars 
.
Good luck on your search.Maybe I can pick up something new that I'd like to try also

i'm not big into cigars, but i thought i'd add my .02 worth here. if you're looking for some pretty good stogies....comparable to cubans....you may be interested in trying some honduran cigars. they pull nicely and have an appealing flavor. quality honduran cigars are also a lot cheaper.
a friend of mine owns a factory in the town of danli, honduras. the name of the factory is las marias. i believe the cigars carry the name embassy or something like that. i'm not sure....the cigars i smoked came right out of the factory without the rings on them. anywho....his cigars aren't the cream of the crop, but i liked them. there are numerous other producers to choose from.
just thought i'd chime in......

If you can find the Arturo Fuente Hemingway series, I suggest you give them a try. They are pretty hard to come by where I'm at, but they won't disappoint. Another good one is Padron, and for about $3 each, they aren't too expensive.

Have you ever tried the Fuente opus x?

I like Romeo y Julieta's and Macanudos. I also can get true Cubans out of Australia shipped to my door which is pretty cool. I know in Texas I have found them as well but flying there to pick them up is kind of cost prohibitive.
