Gurkha Regent Torpedo

[Tuxguy]

Once again I did a random picking from my cabinet. Tonight's smoke was the Gurkha Regent Torpedo. Overall good looking box press stick. Made up of a Havana 2000 Wrapper, Indonesian Binder, Dominican, Nicaraguan Ligero Filler



And this is all the further we will be going with this guy. 5 Minutes in and this is one of the worst cigar I have tried. Not to sure if its the ligero or just it being a Gurkha but I just could not waste anymore time on this guy. Newbies stay away!!! This one just may make you get the wrong impression of cigar smoking.

It has been a 50/50 shot with Gurkhas for me. I am not picking up anymore, dont want to risk the money for a who knows this time.

I liked the Shaggy, I would get them at Tinder Box in Lakeland often

I have yet to try a Gurkha and I agree life's to short to smoke a crappy cigar...however I would have given it another inch. Ive had cigars start off awful and open up into great smoking experiences.

I did but it was getting worse. Cant even describe the flavor.

Was it dirt infused bitters? That is what my first and last Gurkha tasted like. The nat'l sales rep was in my B&m and asked if I liked Gurkha and I told him I had never tried them. He gave me an Archive Churchill box press, and his business card. He told me he wanted my honest opinion. I told him about the nasty aftertaste that wouldn't go away, funny he never replied back to me.
