ok everyone, I'm hoping I could get some input from some of you cigar aficionados her in the forum. I've been hearing a few people talk about Gurkha's and I've been looking at some here on the website. I want to try some but I'm always hesitant to try something new without suggestions. I'm a big fan of Rocky Patel and buy a lot of RP Flor de San Andres, The Edge Habano Toro. I also buy a lot of Cohiba Connecticut Robusto, and My Father The Judge. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Stick with the boutiques and stay away from the conglomerates and you'll most likely find less cigars you don't like.

What is your fascination with cigars that sell at a 92.8% discount off MSRP? Is it because you think you’re able to buy a great cigar, usually higher prices denote higher quality, for a huge discount? One would think anyone with the slightest of common sense would realize what they really are which is nothing but hugely overpriced turds that have to practically be given away before anyone will buy them.

WOW, you seem angry? You doing ok brother? Or do you simply get off by trying to make someone feel like an idiot for simply asking for a suggestion! You obviously have some type of inferiority issue going on, I was simply asking for suggestions. I've been smoking cigars for maybe 2 years and listed a few that I like, but looking for suggestions to open things up a bit. Thanks I guess, for NOT ANSWERING question!

Boutiques can be hit or miss. Most have little to no control over the tobacco. Some brands purchase their tobacco at auction where it’s luck of the draw. While others actually have delivery contracts but they are still beholden to the grower. Either way consistency can be hard to maintain.

On the other hand older established brands like Fuente and Padron as well as a few others are vertically integrated and are able to deliver consistently year after year.

It's just because your new. Don't take it personally. The FOGs love ragging on Noobs especially Noobs asking about Gurkha. You actually probably haven't seen the worst of it yet. It's still early in the day. Lol

Drop their cigars and drive the Rolls Royce.


As fast as the car will take you from those cigars!!!!

"The King called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the Minarets
Down the Casbah way
As soon as the Sharif was chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to the cockpit radio blare
As soon as the Sharif was outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed"

Check out the "Whatcha smoking azzhats 1,000,000 vol.2" thread. That will help you see what's popular with many experienced smokers. You can get good recommendations for cheap cigars, premiums, and high-ends whatever your looking to buy and try. You won't see any Gurkhas there. Even if someone smoked one theyd probably be too afraid to post it.
