Looking for a good Maduro that won't bust my wallet. Any OT Ballers got a recommendation?

Cuban Stock Maduros are really good if you can find them. I think they are like $6 per. They are one of my favorites.

Go to Havana port and talk to the guy there. Best cigar shop in BR if you live around BR.
Alec Bradley is good stuff.

Arturo Fuente 8-5-8

I've smoked them all and for the money you can't beat a Rocky Patel Vudu from cigarmonster.com. You can pretty much always get them for cheap on the monster mashup. Alec Bradley Maxx and CAO Brazilia and CAO MX2 are all very good maduros that aren't crazy expensive also.

Good suggestions, but he doesn't want to break the bank. In my experience you can't go wrong with the Punch/Hoyo de Monterrey/Excalibur brands from General Cigars. These are all made in the same factory, along with El Rey del Mundo and Belinda. They're all well-made and quite consistent. If you like them and want them for cheaper, their bundle seconds are sold as Consuegra or Connies to those of us in the cigar-forum community.
CAO is now made by General, as well, as is Macanudo. The Macanudos are all very well made and good, but may be pricier. ETA: I've not had a bad CAO, and forgot totally about the MX-2 which has a maduro binder and wrapper. Brazilia is one of my favorites.
Arturo Fuente's main lines come in natural and maduro as well, and like the above-mentioned are quite consistent. A long-time favorite of mine in these lines is the 8-5-8, they're usually reasonably priced along with the Cuban Corona size.
Of course there aren't as sexy as the newer/boutique stuff or trendy stuff that's been mentioned in the previous posts. They're all great : Tatuaje (made at the My Father Factory), My Father (and all their brands: Don Jose Garcia, San Cristobal, Garcia y Garcia, ) Alec Bradley.
I'll also second going to Habana Port, the Molina family are all excellent tobacconists.

Padron maduros. Great stick for the money. Padron 64 Anniversary maduros are much better but much more expensive.

YES!!!!
There are some really nicely priced Padron cigars, and even their "regular" line is really good. Nice catch.

A lot of "CUBANS" are way over rated and or counterfeit. The gov't just doesn't have the money to invest in cigars. That being said I did get some "genuine COHIBAS" a while back that were very nice.

I used to smoke Arturo Fuente Double Chateau Maduros pretty exclusively but at one point they became hard to find. I found that most Dominican Maduro cigars have a pretty similar taste and I prefer a corona size (45-52 ring guage and about 6"). I have found that many of the dominican maduro bundle gigars are pretty close and are much cheaper. No fancy band and sometimes they are not perfectly uniform but you cant beat the price if you smoke alot.
Corona Cigar Company has a website where I have bought them in the past.
