I am just listing a couple of recent suprises. I find it interesting to read about suprises, Cheap cigars that ending up being pretty good and vice versa.
Positive Suprise
I just smoked the Gurkha Sherpa. I bought this as a single from CI. I read a review about peanuts and greatness. I must say it is not bad at all. And the peanut comment was actually true. It is light and easy to smoke. Kind of a smokey peanut with little bit of sweetness on the end that is pleasing. The deal is pretty amazing too. You can get (20 toros 6 X 50) for 40. Just don't expect anything more than mild.
Negative Suprise
I came across a C Monte Cristo #2. I paid 20 bucks for it. It was a good cigar, but I would have just as well smoked a $12 Gurkha. I mean it was a great cigar but I just expected a creamy Gurkha or something more unbelievable for such a famed cigar, it did not come close to the same fame Romeo y Julieta. Maybe I am crazy. :riflefire
