Wow. Didn't Know Gurkhas Were Thought Of So Highly - Page 3

I used to love the Gurkha Double Maduro and RP Connecticut when I started in this hobby. In fact, I loved everything CI would sell me cheap.

Then I found Pepin, and Padron...... The rest, as they say is history.

Still resisting the ISOM's, can't afford to go in heat right now.

I agree that their MSRP's are way out of wack and if I bought them at a MSRP, I would likely be dissapointed, but considering that most of them are actually sold for under $8, I believe that there are some winners in the bunch.

It's all good. Smoke what you like, one man's trash is another's treasure. I can think of several brands that I don't care for, which others may love, but that's what's so great about this hobby/passion.

I wanted to like Gurkha, and picked up an assortment of 5ers off of CI. The Nepalese Warrior was the best, when they weren't plugged. A handful of others had the same issue too. Smoked them out of the humidors after that. The bands are a pain to take off as well.

I like RPs, especially the Cuban Blend maduros. Wish the prices were nicer, but that's the hobby for you.

I have had a plugged Ancient Warrior Maduro Perfecto, a plugged Crest, and a plugged Beauty. I defy you to call me a liar to my face.

I'll never have a plugged gurkha again either.

If they were cheaper, I'd say that the percentage that I had that were plugged VS the ones which weren't wouldn't warrant me writing them off. But honestly, even at $3-5 a stick, it's still pretty spendy for something I'm not too impressed with. Then again I'm one of those who hears $10 stick and think "wtf, is it a cc?"

I keep a box of Estaban Carreras in my stash, and those tend to be plugged just as much. But I pick up a box for $20 at a time, so I can forgive. lol
