I'm in Need of Help

I could use the infinite wisdom of CP’ers to solve a dilemma. I’m being forced :laugh: to go to a local shop here in the valley and buy 10 cigars in order to take part in a prize drawing. The items that need to be bought are,
3 – Camacho’s
3 – Gurkahs
3 – Rocky Patels
+ 1 of any of the above

I consider these to be on the higher end of the spectrum of what I usually buy. My problem is that I’m very new to all of these cigars and really am not sure of what to buy.

These are what I’ve tried and of course, enjoyed:
Rocky Patel:
Vintage 1992
Olde World Reserve

Gurkah:
Shaggy

Camacho:
Triple Maduro

These are what I have in my humidor at this time:
Rocky Patel:
OSG
Fusion
Vintage 1990

Gurkah:
Looks like a box press torpedo

What do you think? Since I need to pick 3+ from each, a range of flavor could be had. I would really appreciate any advice.

Thanks,
 
Well, since you have to buy 10 of them, why not choose ten that you've never had before so you can try something new?
 
Wild - do you HAVE to buy from your B&M? Otherwise, let a FOG build a sampler for ya! (Would certainly take the headache away ;))
 
Who's the prize drawing for? Experienced smokers or amateurs?
 
Rocky Patel Sungrowns are great, So are the Camacho Triple Maduros and the Gurkha Anniv Legends.
 
I just re-read the rules and found I must buy an extra 5 Rocky Patels to be eligible for a 42” Olevia HDTV which would be nice since I don’t own a TV.

By buying the 3 Camacho I have a chance to win:
1st Place = Box of Scorpions
2nd Place = Box of SLR Maduro Toro’s

By buying the 3 Gurkahs I have a chance to win:
1st Place = Box of Ancient Warriors
2nd Place = 10 pack of Shaggy Torpedoes

By buying the 3 Rocky Patels I have a chance to win:
1st Place = Box of Olde World Reserve
2nd Place = Rocky Patel Cigar Sampler

By buying all three deals (9 cigars) gives me a Golden Ticket for:
A Box of Scorpions
A Porsche Design Lighter (It’d be nice not to have to use matches all the time)
A Xikar Cutter (I use a $1.99 plastic cutter now)
A Rocky Patel Ashtray (All I have is a plastic cigarette ashtray)

By buying another participating cigar, I get an extra Golden Ticket. (Total of 15 cigars)

They have a substantially large walk in humidor and carry several styles and shapes of each.

The drawing is for all patrons.
TIA
 
I can speak for some RP's I personally enjoy:

RP Decade
RP ITC Tenth Anniversary
RP Edge
RP Edge Lite
OWR

and then the ones you listed, OWR, Vintage 1990/1992/1999.
 
I'm a big fan of the '90 toro for the money. Long smoke, solid, gorgeous ash, and a nice creamy taste. Can't do much better for about $3-4 (cbid).


Edit: I've had some horrible experiences with the Connecticut's as of late. I'm extremely turned off. They used to be my token mild smoke.
 
I agree with 5'oclock...
'90 toro , great smoke and not a big hit on the wallet.
Good luck with the TV
 
Thanks to everyones help, I was able to pickup these:
