Farmboy — 3/13/2013 12:00:44 AM

I've never had a bad San Cristobal .. and I willingly fight for the chance at a Hemmingway .. my favorite there being the 'short story'. It's small, but packs one hell of a good punch in that small package. 5X50 Robustos are just a good all-around size. I like pretty much every Gurkha I ever smoked and especially t...

My regular rotation is San Cristobal, La Riqueza and Fuente Hemingway. Usually robustos, unless golfing. One of my buddies likes the Gurkha Centurion, a larger perfecto. Gottfried said he smokes Dutch Masters, but he knows a better smoke from a yard 'gar. Woody

It is a good one. The Cigarbid.com site is great if one has a little time and is willing to do the 'auction thing'. I get most of my smokes from there. Plus they have loads and loads of Gurkhas.

[longnshort] looks good and a great price

Had the opportunity to fire up a Gurkha "Beauty" last night, in the 'saloman' shape/size. I had ordered mine as part of the box of 10, from Cigars International auction site, cigarbid.com. I ended up paying just under $3.00 each for my box. Cigar International's usual price is $69.95 per box of ten for this saloman. Re...

Okay, you herfers ... surely you are enjoying some good smokes, and need to let us know what they are! I just made my 'winter order' and it was very heavy on the Gurkhas. I am liking them more and more, the more I smoke. Ordered some 'Beautys", "Titan IIs". and others ... be glad to see 'the box' arrive!

Farmboy — 8/31/2012 7:01:35 PM

Of those you named, I like the 'Crest' best. It is a pretty darn good smoke,in my opinion. One can get some pretty good deals on all the Gurkhas at Cigarbid.com, if you want to just spend a little time 'bidding'. cigarbid.com I go there, and throw in a bunch of low-ball bids on a lot of stuff, and usually end up...

Oh yeah, you know they do! Not a bad deal - getting your venison all cleaned and processed and delivered, and you still get to sleep in during deer season, when it is so cold and nasty outside! Not a bad deal at all.

Just ordered a couple of five packs of Kinky Friedman's "The Governor", as 5.7 X 60 size Toro. Should get here in a couple of days. Will let them sit a bit, and then let you know how they turn out. I am anticipating some good smokes.

Farmboy — 7/7/2012 11:24:38 AM

I do prefer at least a 49 ... on up to 60 .. my favorite size is probably a 6 X 54 Toro or so, but I usually end up ordering more 5 X 50 Robustos than anything else. I am not real hot on the torpedo or perfecto shapes, but I make an exception for the Fuente Hemmingway Short Story. Now there's a dynamite smoke - goo...

Farmboy — 7/7/2012 10:52:15 AM

Yes, it was indeed. I do like most of the Gurkhas, and another brand they make, Park Avenue. It seems the Gurkha brand is trying to really spread out and are making a lot of different smokes now they didn't make three or four years ago. I hope they don't sacrifice quality for quantity. They compare fairly favorably...

Hey Cigar lovers - is no one 'burning' any these days? I've had the pleasure of torching up a couple of Double Chateau Fuente sticks, as well as some different Gurkhas, and a 'bargain basement' smoke I've found, and really like. Come on in and post on your latest 'torch jobs'.

Yes indeed, they're hard to beat. Very few pleasures in life like a good Cohiba or Macanudo, and plenty of time in which to enjoy it.

The bulk of my smokes are the less expensive brands and some of the house brands. When the budget and time permit, I enjoy a Cohiba Black, Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve, Partagas Black or Macanudo Gold Duke of York. Any of these always seem to go better with a couple of fingers of good scotch or cognac, or even a go...
