I used to like Gurkha (Centurian and Black Dragon) when I first started smoking- the only problem was the wrappers always seemed to split.

gurkha ??? come on !!! you can not be serious..

There are many better brands out there in the market.
For instance ; CAO is my favorite brand of all times.

Different strokes for different folks. CAO is on my crap list for some truly horrendous smokes. I've had a few good Gurk's but not a single good CAO. Everyones taste is a little different. :2

Maybe they've finally seen the light and have tried a bit harder to make a better stick. I had completely written them off except for the Vintage Shaggy. It took a free cigar to even get me to look at them again. It looks like they spend too much on fancy packaging instead of paying attention to the actual taste.

Jake a lot of guys here locally LOVE the cellar reserve! One of my buddy's loves the KOI! He says it packs the most punch and has great flavors to boo! I still haven't had the resolve to try one myself, but the next time i see them I may just grab one.

I went through a whole box of G3s without any problem. A very tasty and distinctive smoke. I still have the last one and I will try a recent one from a B&M and if it is still good I will buy another box. I have not liked any other Gurkha enough to buy another one.

As a Noob, take my opinion with a grain of salt. But, I have tried 4 different Gurkhas with the G3 being the only one I would smoke again if someone gave it to me.

I have a Cellar Reserve in the humi. I have had a few Gurkha's and have not been real impressed.
