Really? Keep in mind I've only smoked one Gurkha, the Crest. It wasn't da bomb, but it really wasn't a bad smoke at all. The worst I could say about it is that it was earthy, peaty, mushroomy and "dirty", which doesn't appeal to all tastes. It did not cause active injury to my palate. Anything flavored by Lars Tetens or Acid, on the other hand, will destroy your taste buds for hours by marinating them liberally in a mixture of Ben-Gay, cat pee and cheap whore perfume.
When you score wines for tasting, basically a wine gets 50 points just for showing up, even if it isn't drinkable. You can't technically score them below that. But there were a few wines that I really wanted to score a 49 or lower because they were so foul that I not only couldn't keep them in my mouth, they made me spit so hard I almost lost the last few wines I tasted as well. The truly, deeply awful ones also made it hard to taste the next few wines.
Lars Tetens is like that. Gurkha isn't, at least as far as I can tell from the Crest. Just my humble opinion.
