I like the Centurions an Legends pretty well. Don't know that I'll be buying any more as I still have leftovers from my new newbie stage. MSRP gimmick certainly had me fooled for a little while

Have had a few. Most were meh, some were good. The marketing hype with them is a turn off, but is it really any different than some of the LE stuff coming out the last few years? If you like 'em great, if not there's plenty of other stuff out there. Same could be said about a lot of smokes.

I dont have a problem with them as long as you buy them right..

local B&M's around my part of the country sell them all day long between $8-$11 a stick depending on the line... for $8 I think there are far better options out there and wont touch them...

you can pick several different varieties up on the various auction sites for between $3-$3.50 a stick though.. at that price, I dont mind keeping a few in the humi from time to time (there are a couple of different ones I think are ok... the 2001 legend works for me... and the beauty isnt bad for a mild smoke...).. at $3 they make excellent mooch sticks or hand outs to guys you know dont smoke or really care to, but are willing to light one up with you and hang out (several friends of mine fit this description..)...

I absolutely. LOATHE Gurkha...

I'd rather suck one of the 110 ring gauge bazuka cigars. Than ever smoke another one.


But don't say this in the /cigars group on reddit. Those boys over there Love Gurkha.

I've gotten a bunch in sampler packs as I'm pretty much a newbie. The only one I had that I really liked was the Triple Ligero. That was a pretty nice stick. The others were pretty horrid.

Have tried quite a few Gurkhas. The most decent one was the Ninja. Other than that, I usually pass on them.

I'm hanging onto a couple of boxes of Genghis Khan Churchills for either smoking when I'm 60 or selling if there is an aftermarket. The couple I have smoked (although it's been years) struck me as very spicy and full-boded. Can't beat the box (or, rather, chest) for coolness.
