I dig the Triple Ligeros.

While I still have an assortment of Gurkhas in one of my humidors, I've given up on the Gurkha brand because they just have too many labels. I got overwhelmed and confused. I sometimes feel like Rocky Patel is heading down that path too, though I really like some of his stuff.

Just tried my first Gurkha, a double madurro. I wasn't terribly impressed.

Their website shows over 40 different lines, some with several different sizes.

How can you make so many cigars and have them all taste like dirt?

:tpd: Only tried the one so far, but it just wasn't good. I could not put my finger on what it was exactly. As I told my wife, " I don't know what it is exactly, but I'm just not enjoying this smoke."

Tasted like dirt maybe? ;)

I didn't think so at the time, but now that you mention it...

Nha, if it was like all the ones I tried, you would have known it at the time. There is no mistaking it, like eating turf on the football field. :)

I want to try some, but their prices are putting me off. I have trouble spending $8+ for a smaller cigar or $11+ for a larger size, when many people say they aren't that great. Even the shop owner said you'll need to try a few before you find one that you'll like. I can't bring myself to do that for $8 each.

IMO, save your $$$ for other smokes.

I've tried some of the Gurkhas. The only ones I liked were the Black Dragon, Blue Steel,
and Gran Reserve. Those ones aren't anything special, but still enjoyable. The Dos Capas was okay but way too mild. Everything else I've had from them did taste like dirt.
I got a few from Vin though recently and I can't wait to try the BOER. It's gotten some pretty good reviews.

The Gurkhas I didn't like didn't taste quite like dirt. They tasted more like peat moss or something. It was as if a bog and a swamp had a baby in my mouth :(
