Gurkha Crest Challenge (Photo Intense)

Volt · 10-27-2008, 04:53 AM

My friend, you do know how to take some great pictures. I'm glad someone tried this smoke. As I noted, it really does vary quite a bit from what I would call the baseline Gurkha taste. You pulled out a few more flavors than my crappy pallette did. The cocoa and cinnamon I was able to get.I would agree, it's no $25 cigar, but then to me, no cigar is worth $25. I'm hoping cbid will start carrying them, I'd pick a fiver or so up. A little RG for you for the pics and write up.

Well done Darrell, no more a young padwan you are.

You made that cigar your very own super-model, not a bad shot in the bunch. It was good to see one of my seedlings in bloom, it appears you have taken good care. Nice product placement with the SN.

Your words and images invite and entice, mission accomplished to be sure. I will have to dig deep into the 165QT "traveldor" and find one of those.

Thanks.

Nice review. I've got a few Gurkhas in the humi, I really ought to give them a test drive. I think I've only ever had one Gurkha. They sure make a nice looking cigar.

WOW. Great photos and the band is cool looking. I like Gurkhas so if I find these for a good price I will try one.

Great job on the review, how was the S.N ale? I have had it once and really enjoyed the Harvest Ale.
