I haven't had a warlord either. But I have heard that they are very full bodied. So if your still not up to cigars of that strength, I'd say to pass on it for now.

you can get them for $8.50 for a single here. Which I think is a pretty good price(that's coming from NY though). I do like Gurkha smokes. My choice gurkhas are royal brigade, fuerte, black puro and nepolese warrior.
