Ok
. I've seen it here from a few. A lot of Gurkha hate. Personally I don't get it. I do, however, want to know why. I won't try to convince anyone or tell them their opinion is wrong. Just want to know why you don't like the whole brand. What you tried etc. Or conversely what you like if you're a Gurkha ho like me. Me. I like a med to full flavor smoke. I like that many Gurkha cigars are very unique and not just another same old same old smoke. They are typically very rich in their flavors and usually go very well through the nose (snork). I've tried basically all sizes of. Grand reserve natural and maduro Grand age Master select natural and maduro Estate selection vintage shaggy Doble maduro Centurian XX Royal brigade Royal salute Anniversary natural and maduro Triple ligureo Black dragon and dragonfire Blue steel Probably more I can't think of |

Great topic! Ever since I have joined the cigar forums this has been a common trend among them and I have been wondering this very question myself. As far as Gurkhas go i will stay neutral as I have had some I enjoy and some not so much.

I have smoked many Gurkhas as I became a "serious" cigar smoker. I think some taste like dirt, and some taste worse. So that is my "why".

I have tried several
Have to say they were from unimpressed to truly not good. I had a shaggy footed one once, reminded me of vacuum cleaner bags, toe jam, freeze dried vomit and belly button lint.

Trust this man. If anyone has eaten a lot of ass its this guy. He definetly knows what ass taste like. Could you make it any easier?
Rule number 1. Smoke what you like. From a former smoker of Gurkha: As to the sticks. I used to like and smoke more of them. Some people begin to find them not very interesting over time. Then factoring in the prices it makes them a tougher stick to buy. There are still a few I would smoke, but not pay the price for. If you look at the options out there such as illusione, or pepin or padilla or oliva, many of us have a hard time paying the price for the few sticks that are mildly entertaining. Kind of similar to the Rocky Patel situation. As asking this question on this board is bad idea. First of all this board is populated Habanos Heads to a large extent. Second of the rest of the smokers many have been smoking a long time. These are 2 groups of people who are not going to be in the Gurkha camp. |

To quote someone I have the utmost respect for "I have smoked enough cigars from the brands I have sworn off of to have my own educated opinion, and make no apologies for those opinions."

I think I've had 1 good Gurkha. What bothers me about that line is that you've got a ton of blends that seemingly go nowhere. Rocky Partel, which does something smilair, at least has some decent cigars.
