I think it would be wise if i shut my trap you know?

Plus, i agree with everyone, Gurkhas are big stinky, nasty, perfume-like, overpriced, marketing-driven, and usually unravel 60% of the time....

For some reason, (overall) i really enjoy them, ever since i had my first Master Select this past September with a glass of Gin and Tonic.

But Fox! There must be a Gurkha love/hate thread with the Season's change!! Just kidding, there does not need to be one. I love you all, that is all!

I've smoked one Gurkha.....I find the price and the lack of good reviews inhibitory to me buying them.....I am just not really drawn to them, but I don't hate them.

I just saw this....and it makes me laugh. I have one of these cigars in my humi, not because I ever intend to smoke it. I was a Tusker in my last unit and they bought a big box of them. They are TERRIBLY AWFUL cigars. I smoked one of the two that I was given.

Remembered a few more

Legend

G3

G5

Regent

Nepalese warrior.

Warlord

Beast

Titan

Super fuerte

Anyway. Seems to me the venom comes from the price and advertising along with the not preferring the taste. Also mentioned was consistancy and construction.

Now the consistancy and construction I've not noticed and I've smoked a lot of gurkhas is actually one of the things I like. Only a few of the internet only ones were a little bit inconsistent. The super fuerte comes to mind. Probably my least favorite Gurkha. But I think I understand it more. Which was the point of the post. Not to argue. Thanks guys.

I think the core members of this forum have been smoking cigars for some time and as Klugs touched on the Gurkha's seem to be a part of "cigar evolution." They just are a part of the evolution most of us have already been through and likely will not return to. I used to smoke a lot of Gurkha's, especially during my days of heavy involvement with cbid. I remember liking the Expedition and the Titan. At the time I felt they were good smokes for what I was paying for them on cbid. Now, whatever inventory I have is usually used as giveaways. I don't hate the cigars or the brand, as with most NC's I just don't smoke them anymore.

Not for me...I could care less. I just don't like how they taste.

I enjoyed the Gurkha Crest!!! It didn't taste like toothpaste!!!

groogs · 04-16-2009, 01:53 PM

I have smoked a handfull of different Gurkha blends and they all seem to taste very similar...Bad.
