#34: Gurkha Beauty and Ave Maria Immaculata

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.

Cigars are an easy and mellow smile.

My favorite cigars. Shipping has improved greatly.

Great buy

Great mild cigar. I like the Gurkha the best. Can’t beat the price Ray Metzemaekers

Good smoke, good price

A long time favorite combo. Cigars arrived fresh with quick shipping.

Great stogies at a great price! Thank you CI!

Great combo. Mild, smooth and pleasant aroma. Two of my favorite smokes at a very good price.

Fantastic

They're both a great anytime cigar.

After ordering this sample, the Gurkha Beauty is my new favorite cigar. It’s smooth and tasty. It has a great draw and I only had to light it once.

Good product.

Great stogie

Best deal going!

I have always been a big fan of the Beauty, and I am really enjoying the Ave. Great combo at a great price.

Two very good mellow cigars at a great price.

Great combo, smoke CT mellow smokes

What a deal!

I enjoyed the Ave Marias, but not the Gurkhas. I prefer a smaller ring size.

Very enjoyable thanks for offering

Boring but gets the job done

You just cannot beat the Beauty and at this price with the Ave Maria it is a "No Brainer"

Good products at a fair price.

My husband loves the Gurkha beauty’s

A fine cigar smoked as it should no regrets

Love the Beauty. Very smooth.

Great deal

Great tasting combination!

One of my favs. Very good smoke.

Both have a very good flavor. The Ava Maria tends to unwrap.

Great sticks both. Arrived fresh. Arrived quickly and as anticipated. Would recommend.

One of the best Connecticut combos you will find for the price. Two top cigars.

Nice combo for great price

Great combination package! Both good smokes!

One of the finest smokes I’ve had in a long time. They are a little pricey but worth it.

The Ave Marias are excellent and will look to reorder soon. Smoked 3 of the Gurkha Beauty's were less than marginal. I wrote a review on your site yesterday. 1. Wrapper split - taped it to try and finish the smoke. 2. Uneven burn wouldn't stay lit. Found what looked like a hair-ball about halfway in the ash(?). 3. Very uneven burn and keeping lit was a chore.

They where just what I was looking for.

Really have enjoyed both of these cigars! The Ave Maria is just a tad smoother. The Gurkha Beauty is exceptionally well built and burns perfectly. I will be ordering more of these!

Gurkha Beauty is my favorite low priced smoke. Sat on my deck last night with an Immaculate and marveled at the slow. cool even burn. A really well constructed cigar.

These cigars are a good combination.... medium mild...very enjoyable... will order again!
