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.
