all depends if you like a mild or med to full bodied, I myself like the full bodied, the fuerte,trip legro, dobel maduros,g3&5,titans,beasts are ones I prefer all are a decent price except the titans and beasts witch are a little on the pricey side.

Jason, is that your ship to address in your profile? Let me know and I will put together a couple of Gurkhas for you to try if you commit to giving us feedback on each.

If you can find the Estate Select Vintage Reserve at your B&M, grab them. They are the same cigar as the Shaggy without the band or the shaggy foot and a few dollars cheaper.

Joe is right on the mark w/his picks. My experience has generally been better w/the more full-bodied Gurkhas too. All of those are fine picks - and if you shop around, you can get Titans and Beasts at a decent price (relatively speaking).
I look forward to your feedback when you get a chance to try a few.

The Shaggy is my favorite. I also enjoy the Titan, Beast and the Beauty.

If I thought I could get them to you without you having to pay a ridiculous duty, I'd send ya a few to try. I enjoy most of them. They range from mild on up. Never pay retail for them, unless you're buying one or two at your local B&M when they get them in stock. I will say that some are over priced.

I'm a huge fan of the Special Edition Warlord. It's a medium-full bodied cigar that is packed with flavor! It's one of my "go-to" sticks...
