Pricing on Gurkha regents?????

[Simon Templar]

Quick question for the more experienced guys here. I Recently went in to my local B&M and saw Gurkha Regent Toros for $11 a piece. Well I decided to check the site whose name we do not mention and lo and behold I won a 10 pack for $22. Question I guess is, did I get a decent deal? i havnt smoked any yet im letting them rest. Do Gurkhas usually retail so high? I mean before the 5 dollar shipping I got em for $2.20 a piece.... What does everyone else think of Gurkha? Good smoke for the $$$?

Yes it is a good deal but it's not unheard of. The MSRP on them is $10-13 so the B&M is probably just about right. I've got a good friend who likes them and has been snagging 5 and 10 packs from the same site for about what you paid per stick, give or take.

You got a great deal. $ 3-$4 is a good deal.

Nice cigars. I have a whole bunch that have been sitting for a couple years that may need to .. be part of the great dom humi clearing sale.

I had some torps and ended up giving most of them away -- not because I didn't like them; quite the contrary, I liked them a lot and wanted to share the wealth. ~d.

I agree, you got a great deal! I won these several times from the same site and 5 for $11 was my best price.

Regents are one of my favorites in the Gurkha line.

Just a suggestion: On that site, get weekly shipping and get in on more than one win during the week. Shipping become more tolerable... If you're gonna mess with "the devil"...do it more economically.

I think Regents for $2.20 is good; I recently paid $2.20 for Regent Toros and $2.80 for Regent Torps. I've picked up quite a few Gurkha on Cbid at an average cost of around $3.00 per stick with Legends pushing $4.00 and Centurions around $6.00. I like most of them but not enough to pay anywhere close to MSRP. Cbid and/or CI specials seem to be the way to go.

CI had a e-mail special for $29.99 for 10. They are an excllent smoke and a super deal for that price.

Yes, you got a very good deal. The MSRP on most Gurkhas is high in general. C-Bid/CI is probably the `best place to get anything related to Gurkhas. Wtg!
