Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

I smelled a Gurkha once and it reminded me of the perfume counter at Penneys, I gave it back to the guy.

Every time I hear 'Gurkha' I think of a pickle, not a cigar. Who would want to smoke a pickle? Wait, that's a 'Gherkin'! Ya know, I think the guy next door likes to smoke a pickle every now and then. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Gurkha sucks:xxx

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

Gurkha's are bad? Now you guys tell me. After buying 10 boxes from cbid.

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

Oh man this sucks. See, I'm torn. I can't stand when companies do stupid **** like this. There are some Gurkhas I like. And like a lot. I don't agree with the pricing. $30 for a beauty is out of hand but it's a damn good smoke in my eyes. $10 is more reasonable. I can't stick up for a company with marketing like that but I like some of their smokes.

See why I'm torn. Oh well. Now I'm gonna feel weird smoking a Gurkha. Good thing I always remove my bands before I smoke. I hate having any kind of status related to my smoke. I just want to relax and have a good smoke, weather it's a $2 Everyday Joe or a $30 Sublime 04.

Can't win these days anymore.

Ghurka cigars: For the person who likes to smoke a diesel truck's tailpipe, and brag just to give an impression that they like to show off price tags.



A real cigar enthusiast would know that it doesn't matter as to what your smoking that makes you a "real cigar enthusiast" as Hansoita likes to say.


Blind taste test a Ghurka vs. any other reputable cigar, lets see what happens :su

Is today April Fool's?

No?!?!?! Oh, this was for real? Hmmmm....

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

shh! be quiet, man...

love this:

You'll see the likes of Michael Jordan and Alex Rodriguez as Gurkha customers.

don't know about a-rod, but jordan ought to sue for libel.

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

For me, its a 50/50 shot of a Gurkha being any good. The only one so far that has been consistent for is is the Ancient Warrior. I have smoked 4 of these and all have been good. I picked up a box at a decent price. This is Gurkha last chance with me. If this box turds out I am done with them.

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

A-Rod can't sue; he's a purse slappin' douch and probably does smoke them. :mh
(Apologies to the Yankees fans)

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

Yeah... There is a HUGE consistency issue with Gurkha. I've smoked 3 Centurian Perfectos - 2 were good and 1 was utter crap, and by crap I mean it was literally like smoking garbage. I still have 2 more and I'm letting them sit to see about the difference.

I smoked an "evil" and barely forced myself to the half-way spot... But then smoked a Nepalese Warrior and nubbed it. I also smoked an Empire III one day and liked it, then smoked a second the next and tossed it not long after lighting.

When it comes to Gurkha, I'll give 'em a shot, but I will NOT pay MSRP for ANY of their sticks... They're just not worth it.

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

I agree with this statement 100% :tu

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

Funny, after this thread came out I had two of the worst Gurkhas in my history. A Centurian that was nothing like the one I had a few months back and a Warlord that just fell apart and smoked like crap. Never had that problem before either.

Thanks thread...you ruined my smokes.

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

Gotta love their consistency! lol.

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

No....we freed your mind. ;) :r

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

free your mind... and your ass will surely follow.

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

That's what the brotherhood is for... Thanks for looking out.

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

I've smoked a few Gurkha's and have enjoyed only one or two I smoked, I can't recall which ones I would have to look at my notes.

For some reason, as a new smoker, I keep wanting to go back to them. To me, that means their marketing is working.

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

I guess I might be alone on this one. Gurkha is my favorite brand and accounts for 90% of my sticks. Haven't had a bad one yet. I do not and will not pay MSRP on them but I do jump on every good deal I can find.

Everytime I visit a B&M the Gurkha Cigars are in heavy rotation since they sell so well. Maybe some of you guys are closet smoking Gurkha fans and scared to admit it.

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

I had quite a few Gurk's I enjoyed then just had a terrible run where everyone was worse than the last. After about a dozen truly awful smokes I've given up on them... CAO, Gurkha and Rocky Patel are all on my Shnit list.

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

Wanna bet? :r

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

Tom only smokes fake Gurkhas :tu

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious

Re: Oh Gurkha...you're hilarious
 

Thanks Excel. I wasn't really sure how to interpret that one. Definitely scary tho...
