I don't know as I haven't had one... but the description from Best Cigar Prices sounds pretty tasty:
"Gurkha's Viper debuted in 2010 as one of Gurkha's first forays into budget-priced stogies. The Viper excells in craftsmanship and flavor, especially at this price point. Billed as full-bodied, it's probably more on the medium-full side since the rich tobacco flavors are very smooth and easy to enjoy. You'll find an overall sweet smoke with a leathery foundation, building in strength with hints of black cherry and caramel."
Maybe you guys had a fake
