$1000 cigars for Bill

8zeros · 08-21-2014, 08:13 AM

This cracks me up!
I didn't know there were $1000 Gurkhas.

Wish I could try one. Probably the best cigars ever!

I have smoked one and my opinion is

But mine only had a MSRP of $750.00

They used to be legendary for their prices.

I've heard of people buying bridges....

Seems as though this guy doesn't know which end of a cigar to smoke esp. with his past experience in putting them up some girls vajayjay. I thought he was living cleaner after all of his heart problems?

This statement sums it up for me.

Although Hansotia confirms Clinton "loves" the cigar, the cigar boss does not say whether the former president has ever smoked one of them.

Maybe Ghurka are planning two new, polar opposite vitolas: The "Hillary" and the "Monica".

One would be specially aged and really uptight but exuding massive amounts of hot air, and the other featuring a really loose roll of young toxic tobacco that might end your marriage, career or life prematurely.

Maybe he loves it and Monica LOVES it… and neither of them have smoked one.

Advertising genius at its best here.

Just sayin'.

What a terrible read. Right now, someone is reading that article, saying to themselves, "Man, I really need to try some of those Gurkha cigars". Hopefully, most were wise enough to read between the lines.

My sarcasm is not obvious today, I guess.

Nothing to do with your post, Pete.

Always great to hear the Monica jokes, they haven't gotten old at all in 20 years.

8zeros · 08-21-2014, 01:48 PM

Seems to me like Ol' Bill was just a name drop in a thinly disguised advertisement/joke for Gurkhas. It's hard to bring his name and cigars up at the same time.
I don't have anything against Bill or Gurkahs. I would never pay that much for a cigar but would smoke one it it was given to me. I would be polite and smoke it even if I didn't like it.
Some Gurkhas I've smoked tasted like dusty air to me, some different ones were all right.
Bill's retired, as long as he stays that way he doesn't bother me a bit. I read somewhere he likes his cigars box-pressed anyway.
