Well, sort of. I'm smoking an East India Trading Company cigar called "Wicked Indie". And it's a pretty good cigar. And that's the problem ......

EITC is a subsidiary of Gurkha, which is a fact I did not know before purchasing these two robustos. I suppose I can no longer be a Gurkha hater. I'm sad. What's next? Will I find myself cheering for the Yankees? If that tragic day ever occurs I may just crawl into a hole and never come out.

:r

So in spite of the fact that it's a robusto and a Gurhka (sort of) I like it. I bought two so I'll let this other one sit for a few months while I contemplate the nature and possible futility of being anti- (insert name of company or organization here).

Wait until you smoke the other one. One good Gurhka does not make a fan.

True, but this one is good. Some spice, lots of smoke, perfect draw a little higher nicotine content than I'm used too - perfect following a heavy lunch and preceding afternoon baseball + nap. :)

That settles it, I'm never smoking the second one. It's too dangerous; if I like it too I'm toast. They won't let me back into the He-man Gurhka Haters Club. :r

Hmm, gorilla finger eh? Intriguing .....

Actually, the only way I'd smoke one of those crazy cigars is ...... nah, I'd never try one. Too many reviews with :pu smileys in them for me to try those!

If it can happen to The Dark Lord, Jonathan, it can happen to anyone.

The problem arises if it happens twice. ;)

Coincidentally I'm back at Sidetrack Tobacco in Bristol, VA, smoking another of these Wicked Indie cigars ... and liking it. :)
