#34: Gurkha Beauty and Ave Maria Immaculata

All good

Perfect golf cigars for sharing with fellow players.

Great smoke!

Two great smokes. Both are flavorful and good to the last drop.

The Gurkha Beauty is an amazing smooth smoke! Sit back and enjoy!

These two cigars are great. I will buy them again soon. You should have them featured on a regular basis. Thank you!!!!!

Great Cigars and a great deal. Easily more than $100 for the same cigars at my local shops.

Always a great smoke, both brands are spectacular!

Love em

The Ave Maria’s started out a little bit spicy but mellowed out to a very nice smoke.

These are two of my favorites! great flavors

Great bang for the buck on my two favorites!

very good

Both Cigars have outstanding slow burn and plenty of smoke. Have enjoyed both just chilling out on my porch and listening to Neil Diamond …

I like both. Good price.

absolutely great cigars, The Gurkha came packaged in a separate box of 5

It’s a very good cigar

Love these two cigars!

If you prefer a mild smoke with great taste these are worth a try.

Great cigars

Bought these because I love Gurkhas, been wanting to try the AMI for a while and they did not disappoint

Wonderful combo for a killer deal!

Ava Maria’s are very good cigars. The Gurkha Beauty’s have become a go to cigar recently but these are not quite as good as others purchased in the paste. Overall I am very happy with the combination and the price.

Enjoy both. Nice burn, excellent flavor.

These are excellent cigars, and was shipped quickly.

The stars are mostly the Ave Maria. The Gurkha beauty is pretty much all outer beauty, a hollow inner soul it has. If you’ve smoke the Ave before, no need to tell you how good it is and is well worth the price of this sampler alone. Gurkha however is more hype than substance. I make this claim as I have smoked at the very least, a dozen of the Gurkha blends and have only found 2 that live up to their branding. I have purchased this sampler several times and have played with aging the Gurks at different lengths and from what I would assume separate crops (orders made from 9 months to a year apart) and still come out with a very dull and uneventful cigar. For the most part, 3 months age will correct burn issues unless it’s in the construction (that also seems to be a hit or miss with Gurkha). I’m a true fan of Connecticut wraps and would recommend avoiding the Gurkha Beauty as there are far better offerings for way less in price ( assuming your purchasing boxes or 5ers). If you just wanna look cool with a big 60 ring stogie in hand and don’t care that it sucks as a cigar, then Beauty is the one for you.

I liked them so please send me a new cutter

Both have a good smooth taste. I was surprised with the even slow burn. This is a great value for this combo.

Great combo! No bite with either stick. The Beauty is good 4-5 hole golf smoke and the Immaculata is good anytime! Highly recommend this deal.

Awesome

Great cigars, Always love Gurka, but now a fan of Ave Maria too.

Excellent

Ava Maria's are like a great steak, the Gurkhas go great with sangria and bourbon long even burns with excellent bite

Very mild

Another good deal.

Solid mid to high end cigars with great flavor and smokability

love the ave maria! gurkha blend is your typical connecticut flavor. to me its nothing special. i could have a cheaper cigar and be fine. but maybe its also because im new to it. who knows. the ave maria has a fantastic pepperiness to it. will look forward to more.

I have always enjoyed both of these brands, good smooth flavors, burns nice and holds it's own through to the finish. I always check the Gentleman's Deuce when ordering and this is a good set.

Ave sticks are very good along with beauty .they are a winning couple

Both cigars are excellent

Very smooth smoke. This is a treat either alone or with a nice red blend. Very slow burn.

Excellent bundle.

Both cigars are really nice. Arrived fresh and in great condition. Price was good and I recommend the purchase

Beauty is always a great smoke!

It is AWESOME! Light, mild and smell/taste great. I prefer shorter but could find.

The Ave Maria was a decent smoke. The cigar burned well. It was a little strong to me. The Beauty had a better flavor, but burned uneven and was hard to keep lit.

Great

Smooth with easy draw and good smoke all the way through.

First time ordering and I am truly impressed. I have been smoking cigars for about a year now and this sampler was exactly what I wanted; mild and smooth.

Great price! Good Cigar!

Excellent burn and smoke

Both of these cigars are so smooth. The Ave Maria Immaculata, are probably the best cigar I have ever smoked! It was my first time smoking those, and will not be the last. Gurkha Beauty’s are also a pleaser!!

Gurkha has become one of my favorite sticks. Ava Maria is ok.

The Beauty was one of my favorite Gurkha's. Was, when the thin wrapper didn't disintegrate while smoking it. 2 of the five were okay, not a good average... The Ava Maria's were as good as expected.

Very smooth and a enjoyable smoke.

Ave Maria was great Gurkha split at the top to half way down and burned uneven Very unenjoyable smoke because of that

My favorite Gentleman's Duece. Gurkha and Ave Maria - go to sticks.

Yes great cigar`s to bad I went through them so quickly now I have to buy more

Love my Gurkhas!!

Awesome stogies

very satisfied

Excellent smokes at a very good price. CI delivers winners again

Very good choice. A lot of quality for a very reasonable price.

The taste was a tad sharp and they needed to be re-lit often.

Great Price! Primo Blend and Quick Shipment!

Great flavor and a great draw from both. Easy to smoke and enjoy one’s self. Mild taste which suits me just fine.

These Stogies were a great find for my golf buddies next trip. The Smokes were smooth and burned really clean.

Smoke is very smooth. I would highly recommend

For me I like smooth and tasty sticks and this bundle is all that and more. Mellow even draw on both cigars burns fantastic and the taste is amazing.

Excellent smoke very enjoyable

Great taste

Smooth with a good draw. A slow burn and pleasant.

I like mild and something that lasts for more that 3 holes while golfing. These both are perfect.

Very good buy. Mellow smooth draw

It is difgicult to make a light cigar that tastes good. Ave Maria and Gurkha do just.

Great cigars at a great price!

By far the best pair of smokes out there

Have bought this combination for years !! It is a great early morning on the golf course cigar …. Mild n tasty

An awesome combo.

Great buy

Burka Beauty was a very mild cigar but the wrapper didn’t hold up. Easily cracked or even fell off.

The Ghurka Beauty was top tier. Per my preference I don't typically prefer an incredibly tight wrapper, so the Ave Maria Immaculata wasn't my favorite.

Smooth, burns evenly, great tastes.

Great combo!

Great taste and pleasant aroma.

Mild to medium smokes.

The Gurkha Beauty's are not.

This was a pleasant surprise. One Gurkha Beauty fell apart at the last 3 inches and that is the only issue I removed a star for. The Immaculata was a quality smoke. Good draw, great taste and burn. Would purchase again.

Excellent

I Love the flavor and Bite of Gurkha cigars, and I think this is a very solid combination and Duo.

Loved these guys

Great price for great smokes. Always keep these in my stock and the quality is always as expected.

The Ave Maria Immaculata thus far has been one of my favorite smokes. Gurkha is a big disappointment, wrapper unravels big time

Nicely balanced mellow bundle. I enjoy most Gurkha models, so that was no surprise. The Ave Marias turned out to be absolutely delicious.

Good flavor

Great combo! The Immaculata’s are simply amazing after sitting in the humidor for a few weeks!

Love both of these cigars! My go to cigars!

Very nice mellow cigars with a great draw for a good price.

both are beautiful! both great smokes, well built, good burn, taste. noce offset between the light ave and the stronger gurkha!

great cigar

These cigars are very good I definitely want to buy some more

Very good

Smooth burn and good price.

Great cigars!

Mild overall but not too much

2 classy, we’ll built, great flavor smokes. Good for a fireside or front porch.

Great cigars. Nice easy draw and flavor.

Loved the Ave Maria’s, smooth smoke. The Gurkhas were a little stronger smoke. I would buy them again. Thanks

Best sampler so far. I think I found my favourite cigars (for a while)

Great combo

Great combo great taste; burns evenly and smooth; plus at a good price

Smooth, well built. A good cigar for a slow relaxing smoke! Will absolutely buy again!

Ave Maria very good draw; excellent taste. Gukha not so good. Only fair draw and needed to be relit several times.

Great smoke and burn. Very smooth and great with my whiskey

Very good cigars 😜

It wasn't bad but not anything I look forward to

Good smoke. Smooth draw

Nice smokes. Even burn. I like the Ave Maria a little better but in all truth I've never been much of a Gurkha fan. Overall, good deal for the $$. Would buy again.

Really enjoy these. Super easy draw. For sure will buy again.

A 5 pack of either of these cigars is more than buying this gentlemans deuce. Definitely worth the money. The Ghurka beauty is very rich in flavor and the Ave Maria immaculattas is my favorite conneticut cigar....more flavor any other conneticut out there. Great deal.

Both are very good sticks. Even burn, great taste. Will continue to purchase.

Great cigars when you want to walk on the mild side

Gurkha beauty great smoke Ave Maria was a little dried out and started to fall apart letting them sit in the humidor for a couple of weeks before smoking the next one

A+

Always an excellent combo. Excellent construction, smooth burn, creamy taste. Never a disappointment.

Little difficult to keep the Gurkhas lit.

Ave Maria is a delicious cigar. Beauty is just ok to me. Great value and price.

Smooth smoke very good

Two of my favorites

Like 'em both.

Great service great product

awesome, smooth and creamy from start to finish!

Very nice and smooth, a milder bodied cigars with hint of sweetness. Recommend for daily enjoyment

Love thrr we m

Loved both of these cigars. Great burn, flavor and finish. I'm a newer smoker and the mild/mellow sticks appeal to me, especially for a breakfast cigar. Will most certainly buy again.

Ok

Easily my favorite Deuce! I've purchased it a few times, and will continue. Love both cigars. They are a smooth smoke

These are my go to cigar’s great flavor and burn.

My favorite new cigar! Love Um!

Repeat customer because these cigars are top shelf!

Even draw Good flavoor

Great smokes for the golf course. Good draw and even burn. Mild to medium taste.

Decent price for two of my favorite cigars.

Gurrka's good. Ave Maria solo.

Some of my favorites- a great cigar

smooth smoke

The Gurka 60 ring gauge was OK until I got to the middle of the cigar and it was excellent. The Ave Maria is a good mild to medium Cigar goes with a good cold beer highly recommend them

Great price , great service

Excellent combo...big fan of Ave Maria, and thought I'd try to paring with Gurkha. It didn't disappoint: I don't like harsh smokes, and this combo was on point being mild to medium depth, smooth, great flavor, and it burned consistent. I also liked the size of these tw cigars, the bigger Gurkha Beauty was a nice change and was my favorite. I've found my two new favorite cigars! Who ever put this pair together was a genius!!

very smooth tasting

A very good selection of cigars that offers mild and mellow for a relaxing evening smoke

Good just two much money for me

Good value, super fast shipping

What can I say Gurkha is one of my favorite cigars. And the ave Maria was smooth smoke all the way through, going to buy them again

Good sample

I enjoyed smoking some of them stil have some

Excellent cigars at a reasonable price.

Good quality

Ok

The beauty I received in this batch were flaky dried out. Had to remove the wrappers and let them sit in the humidor for a few days. Every one of them so far has burned unevenly and required constant re-lighting. Typically I love this cigar this batch wasn't so good though. The Maria's were great smokes!

Ave even burn,nice cigar, Gurkha smooth burn

these cigars were excellent.

Great combo package. Really good cigars

Worth every cent

These are great mild smokes.

Great sticks!

Great s.oke.

Great smoke good burn nice mild taste would definitely buy again.

Good smokes, nice even burn. Great cigars for the golf course.

Excellent cigars for a great price.

Good quality great price

Ave Maria was an excellent smoke.

Great draw and not too hearty, good smoke overall.

Great cigar will buy them again

perfect

Great bargain for a great product

Good stuff, fair pricing.. need more creative samplers.. Holt's is closing in on value but is surpassing with creative samplers.. Do more Alec Bradley's!

great selection.

Not bad would purchase again

these are nice cigars and really good for the price

A good combo

Nice cigars for the money. Very enjoyable.

Great smoke

Good stuff

Great combination. Enjoyed them during a social gathering with friends. Slow burn during our entire gathering.

Gurkha Beauty is fantastic cigar 90+ I would rate. Ave Marias I had were OK but nothing special. I got them ind the sampler I bought with the Gurkhas.

The Gurkha don't want to burn even

Smooth and consistent to the end.

Good everyday smokes

A very smooth,mild,easy ,smoke

Great cigars at a great price.

Great taste, both cigars had an awesome taste and are some of my favorites. The burn time was decent and had an even burn throughout the entire time. Eventhough my order arrived without a humidity device and a little dry, the cigars came back to a decent state. I do recommend getting one as it is a great samler for the price. I will reorder this set as soon as possible. Hopefully I get something to keep them moist on a cross country trip.

good smoke

was good but i still have stuff on back ordered

Perfect!

Good burn and taste to both of these smokes.

Excellent cigars Great deal. A no-brainer.

Great package

Excellent

Smooth smoke, well worth the price here

Ave Maria is marvelous. Gurkha much less satisfying. Will not order this pair together again.

smooth

Love the Ave Maria. One of the best. The Gurkha Beauty is good. Burns smooth to the end. Good combination.

I recomend this pairing. Real smooth sticks. Enjoy them every day

i liked tyhem boat allot

Great exposure to two mellow cigar brands. I personally prefer Ave Maria to Gurkha.

Good draw, very mild tasting , over all both tasted good.

Ok, but not great

Great prices

Good smoke and very enjoyable, keep up the good work

Decent for the price

these are by far a great smoke, even burn and draw!! +++

Great value!

Very good value

They were ok.

Great smokes good price

Both of these cigars are superb for those who want mild smokes. They’re a great introduction to mild smokers who have not had them before. Aroma and taste are a notch above other mild cigars.

They all are always great cigars

Very nice cigars. I have them on the B+ list!

First time smoking Gurkha’s and just found my favorite cigar!!!! Enjoyed the smoothness of both.

Good tasting. Rarely disappoints

Quality cigars

Both are excellent cigars A very nice price on the combo

Very satisfied with the service, products and price.

Both great smokes!

Always my go to re-order.

Not bad.

very good

Both the Ave Maria Immaculata and the Gurkha Beauty is a great combo, and the cost is very reasonable.

You hit the spot with this combo.Two of my favorites and my wife’s. There is nothing like your wife asking you if you are going out to smoke a stick and wanting you too. I am a Gurkha follower. Smoke all blends (The Beast) excluded. Not a fan yet of full bodied sticks.Ave Maria is a good smoke too. Both blends have a continuous and dependable taste and flavor I can depend on time and time again. My down time sticks.along with Oscar

Did not like Immaculata. Gurka beauty is just that, a beauty. Enjoyed them many times. Great taste long burn just alittle pricey.

2 different quality cigars for different occasions, a quick smoke and a leisurely with a drink cigar

Very good cigars, smooth taste, great draw. Great for a summer evening!

A great pair of smokes!! Would definitely buy again!!

much better than expected. Gurkha beauty is a winner

Excellent

I love them. Great birn factor without the afterlife. Great cigars indeed.

Great value.
