Gurkha Triple Ligero?
 
Has anyone on here tried the Gurkha Triple Ligero? How was it? I see that Joe's deal of the day has 10 of them for 29.99 shipped.

I have about 10 of them in the humi and I actually haven't tried any yet... I was letting them rest a bit...

I have smoked one. Couple of months back. A terrible experience I took pics at the time for a post that I didn't post. I was quite disappointed thus the pics as I drove.... :)

Burn issues thru the entire stick

I didn't care for the taste. I've not had one since, which is never a wise action...or inaction...
This was after a couple of months sitting at 65%
I didn't finish it. This is a rare experience.

Thanks! I am glad I didn't buy them.

I think I am done with all Gurkhas. I have had bad burn/draw problems and most of them have flavor profiles that don't do anything for me.

I agree! The Gurkha "Symphony" is a good, mild smoke if you can get them on sale, but most Gurkhas are not worth the price, IMHO!:tu

The last time I had one it was still branded the "K. Hansotia Triple Ligero X3". At the time I thought it was pretty good, but that was some time ago and I haven't had one since.
