Hey all new to forums have been speaking to FGM some. I'm in need of some advice. I am looking to get back into smoking cigars. Limited experience in the past but did know of a few that I really liked. I am planning on going to my local shop tomorrow and buy myself a few Christmas presents. In the past I really enjoyed:

Gurkha Legend

Montecristo No. 2

Any advice for some additional purchases that may fit into this range?

There are so many fantastic smokes out there these days, most of which you don't have to pay an arm and a leg to get'em. Montecristo and Gurkha Legend are two very different cigars. The Montecristo is mellow and smooth with subtle flavors, while the Gurkha Legend is heavier on the palate and a step up in strength.

If you're looking for flavorful cigars that are mellow in strength, I recommend Ave Maria, Perdomo Champagne, CAO Black, Gurkha Master Select, Oliva Serie 'G'.

If you're looking for a step up, with more strength and more complexity, I recommend Diesel, La Perla Habana Black Pearl, Perdomo Habano, Oliva Master Blends III, Man O' War.

Of course, the easiest way to get back into the swing of things is through multi-brand samplers, of which we offer a ton. Some of our best-sellers are: Choice Cuts Premium 54-Ring, 12 Angry Men, Chunktastic, and Legal Limit.

It's true - it's so hard to recommend a cigar when someone has no idea where to start. That said, I would recommend a Arturo Fuente Short Story or Don Carlos #4 to relive the monte (caramel) experience, or even a Padron 2000/3000 for a rich, full flavored cocoa experience.

All 3 can be found here on CBID or cigarinternational.com

I have been in contact with FGM, kinda of worried what might happen to me with a vet hitting me. I took some of the advice so far listed. I have since smoked a Padron, Black Pearl and a Fuemte Short Story. I enjoyed them all but I am starting to lean towards a fuller bolder smoke.

I understand your concern too. Some of those Trade Bombs are just down-right intimidating. I get dizzy just thinking about what it would take to match some of those bombs. I think SteveR from Cbid offered some great advice. Welcome BOTL.
