| Thanks I appreciate the suggestions. A few I have tried since the initial post:
Gurkha Legend - The name "Legend" seems to be more hype than fact. I don't like any of the Gurkhas I have tried all that well.
La Gloria Cubana - I'm always suspicious when a cigar maker includes a reference to Cuba in the name of the cigar, as if they are trying to make up for some deficiency by alluding to a Cuban heritage. Not so this stick. Aside from a very odd aroma when I first lit it (sweaty armpits is about the only way to describe it), this turned out to be a very good smoke. The only problem was that the stick I had was a tough draw at times, which interfered with my enjoyment of it. I will buy a few more of these.
La Paloma Corojo - A decent medium-flavor smoke. Nothing harsh or offensive about it. Not quite as good as the La Gloria (see above), but still worth buying.
Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve - The top of the Rocky Patel line. Honestly, I liked the 1990 blend as well or better, at about half the price. As with all the RPs I've tried a good quality smoke. It just falls a little short in the value department against its stable mates.
I was just checking my humidor to see what Toranos I haven't gotten to yet. I have an Exodus 1959, a Virtuoso, a Signature Collection and a Casa Torano. The Casa Torano I've tried before, but the others are all new to me. I'll let you know what I think of them. Indian Tabac is a good stick at a good price. A lot of the guys at the cigar lounge I hit most Fridays smoke nothing else.
