good variety to start with. I'd recommend any Padron, Liga Privada, Tatuaje as well. They will be a little more expensive but you will see that it's worth it to buy smaller quantities of the good stuff. I recently have been relegated to 1 maybe 2 smokes per week and due to that, I find myself wanting to smoke all my top end stuff. While I was deployed I could easily have two a day, 3 on the weekends.

I digress...

I keep trying to tell you...it's not that hard to keep stuff out here. I have several boxes of cigars (CC's, padron, Illusione, GOF, Anejo), in addition to all of the singles. They're all holding around 65/65. for less that $20 shipped, you can get a cooler that holds the temp and humidity fairly well (assuming it is inside of an air conditioned tent/building). Then just load it up with boveda packs and they'll keep it perfect.

Remember, the more stuff you cram in your humidor, the less the humidity will fluctuate. FILL THAT BAD BOY UP!!!

You probably won't become a Gurkha lover based on the ones you won, tho one might impress you.

I got them for everyday smokes. If you guys don't think they are any good, cool. Haven't been around cigars long at all.

If you want, you can always send me some good ones. I can only do so much with the cash that I have.

Dude, just smoke whatever you buy. Everybody has different tastes. Once you have some better cigars you will find out why certain sticks are better than others. For now keep doing what you're doing.

A few to consider:

Hoyo De Monterrey Maduro or Dark Sumatra

Jamie Garcia Reserva

Any Fuente Maduro especially the Hemingway's (try a WOAM)

Perdomo 10th Anniv Maduro

Tatuaje Miami or Reserva

21 MOW's & 11 Gurkha's??? Add more brand variety to your cigar menu. There are a ton of better smokes at comparable prices. Try an Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Petit Belicoso Maduro for example.

Dude, don't let these elitist SOBs get to you. Try a lot of different cigars. It's the only way you will learn. Keep one thing in mind. If you really like a cigar right now, do not load up on boxes of it. In the next year or so, your tastes will change, and you could be stuck with a bunch of cigars you no longer wish to smoke.

^^ what he said

also - nothing wrong at all with MoW line - I think they're a good value cigar.....and with age, can be quite tasty

next time try to get some regular MoWs and some Ruinations........sometimes you can get them cheap here
