This cracks me up!
I didn't know there were $1000 Gurkhas.

They used to be legendary for their prices.

Seems as though this guy doesn't know which end of a cigar to smoke esp. with his past experience in putting them up some girls vajayjay. I thought he was living cleaner after all of his heart problems?

This statement sums it up for me.

Although Hansotia confirms Clinton "loves" the cigar, the cigar boss does not say whether the former president has ever smoked one of them. :emo2004

Maybe Ghurka are planning two new, polar opposite vitolas: The "Hillary" and the "Monica".

One would be specially aged and really uptight but exuding massive amounts of hot air, and the other featuring a really loose roll of young toxic tobacco that might end your marriage, career or life prematurely.

Maybe he loves it and Monica LOVES it… and neither of them have smoked one.

What a terrible read. Right now, someone is reading that article, saying to themselves, "Man, I really need to try some of those Gurkha cigars". Hopefully, most were wise enough to read between the lines.

Seems to me like Ol' Bill was just a name drop in a thinly disguised advertisement/joke for Gurkhas. It's hard to bring his name and cigars up at the same time.
I don't have anything against Bill or Gurkahs. I would never pay that much for a cigar but would smoke one it it was given to me. I would be polite and smoke it even if I didn't like it.
Some Gurkhas I've smoked tasted like dusty air to me, some different ones were all right.
Bill's retired, as long as he stays that way he doesn't bother me a bit. I read somewhere he likes his cigars box-pressed anyway.

That made me truly laugh out loud.

Eric let me "enjoy" (and I use the word enjoy very loosely) this stick with him and a few others at Dom's a few years back. I remember comparing this to rolled-up, wet newspaper with a hint of dirt flavored pepper.

One thing I did like about President Clinton was his love of cigars, his choice on women not so much. But I think Gurkha is name dropping here as I am almost positive the President smoked Cubans. Gurkha needs help avoiding CI close out prices so hopefully borrowing the Presidents fame helps him out.

Doesn't matter what would accompany the cigar. I'm not smoking a Gurkha.

If you see me smoking a Gurkha, I've been kidnapped, and am trying to signal you. I'm counting on you, friends. :D

There's a story Kinky Friedman tells about this. That Texas Jewboy loves his cigars, and dotes on CCs. At one function, he reportedly handed a CC to Clinton. Bubba looked at it and it and remarked "Kinky, this is a Cuban cigar! I'm the President! I can't smoke this!" Kinky retorted with "Mr. President, don't look at it as supporting the Cuban economy . . . look at it like burning their crops."

I guess this is what 'flat broke' means in the Clinton household.

Yeah, but at least this time, he didn't inhale.

Can I laugh at how idiotic it is to pay a $1,000 for cigar and actually think it's better than other cigars or am I suppose to take that serious? As for Clinton, he put his cigar up a woman's vagina, how freaking disrespectful to the cigar? The whole situation wreaks of stupidity unless you're like J-Z who probably lights his cigars with $100 dollar bills.

Did anyone see the quote on the posted link?

"People try to copy us a lot, but we have no competition," says Hansotia. "We tell everybody, please smoke a Cuban cigar. And then smoke our cigars. And once they've smoked a Cuban And then once they smoke a Gurkha, or they smoke a cigar from Dominican Republic, they realize what a difference in quality it is. It's a very unique smell. It's a very unique flavor. Completely different than anything you've ever smoked in your life. So if you ever have the pleasure of smoking one, you will understand the difference in taste of a normal cigar to an HMR."
