Quality wasn't great a few years ago - even the "elite" Fonsecas aren't good enough to chase. Smoked a Vintage robusto that had been in the humidor for years the other day and it was just a yard gar. The Fonseca Cubano Limitado Robusto and Exclusivo Robusto seem better than most Fonsecas and the Arana line sucks.

above info is 100% on the money. If you want to smoke at least DECENT to good, near average Connecticut wrapped cigar for around $2per to $3per try any one of these.

CAO BLACK $2.50per max bid
HC SERIES CONNECTICUT $2.50per max bid
HC SERIES WHITE SADE GROWN $2per max bid
PERDOMO NICK'S STICKS $3per max bid
ALEC BRADLEY CONNECTICUT $3per max bid
OLIVA CONNECTICUT $3per max bid
ROCKY PATEL CONNECTICUT $2per max bid
5 VEGAS GOLD $2per max bid
LA PERLA HABANA WHITE PEARL $2.50erp max bid
CAO GOLD $3per max bid
PERLA del MAR $2.50per max bid
AVE MARIA IMMACULATA $2.50per max bid

and you can even score Excalibur & Macanudo Gold (got 8 of the 6.5"x52 torpedo last night for $24) at $3per.

or spend $4 to $5per and buy My father Connecticut, Perdomo Champagne or Habano B.A., RyJ Reserva Real or Vintage, or San Cristobal Elegencia. All excellent high mild smokes.

I have a couple Serie F's at the house. Maybe it's just my no0b tastebuds but I smoked one and thought it was a more than adequate yard-gar. No issues with construction either. Definately better out there for around the same price though.
