Cigars are really a personal choice thing. Cohiba is a very recognized brand and as a result very popular (They have the price tag to go along with them.)
Cuban cigars are the standard by which all others are judged but it's all about the tobacco. I've had many excellent Dominican cigars but from what I understand the tobacco seeds are from Cuba, don't limit yourself to Cubans thinking they are the finest available. Good Cigars come from several countries.
It's hard to suggest a cigar for someone. Do you smoke frequently, or maybe just the occasional celebration cigar.
What I like,
Romeo & Julieta (No2 in the tin tube container.) Cuban
What can I say, I smoke these to the band everytime. Even burning and not to strong, nice flavour.
H. Upman (anything larger than your finger) Cuban
Another milder brand Cigar that is a pleasure to smoke and always gives you your money's worth.
Macenudo (SP?) Dark Wraper. Dominican
I love these cigars. Nice tight wrap, slow burning and good taste. You'd think they'd be strong but there not.
Cohiba (a really large short one) Cuban
I like the big Cohibas because of there is less wrapper tobacco compared to the filler. That said I usually only get about half way through these guys cause I find Cohiba's pretty strong in general.
