Re: Gurkha hatin
 

A couple of months ago I was feeling bad for Legend. He posted that he was on hard times and was only buying sticks that were under $1. Now he is Kauai smoking expensive cigars and drinking expensive wine!!!! Plus he has a trip planned to Nicaragua!!!

Now I am not feeling bad...

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Gents,

I don't mean to offend this community. If I were in Hawaii with my wife, I would be living that, not posting on this bb. I like you and all, but there are a lot of things more important.

Just sayin'

Now if I were to routinely go to Hawaii and got bored I may drop in and visit yall. No, still don't see that happening.

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

I dont hate Gurka's. I dont like em either for that fact.

Do they suck? Depends on the guy who buys it & lights it. The term "good" can be very subjective.
Is a Rolex watch a "good" watch? The answer you get will depend on who you ask.

I have some Gurka's, but will I smoke em? Probably not. Actually.....no.

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Gurkha has an "H" in it. :D:D:D

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

so does douche, but i digress...

anyway - happy anniversary, legend. i agree with kurtz - less time on the inter-webs, more time on that balcony!

oh - and not that i disagree about your napa/alexander thought, but i would say definately silver oak napa outshines silver oak alexander valley... :tu

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

BURN!!! (on me)

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

That's fookin' funny!!!!!

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Enjoying a Masters Select torp right now. Bought them on a lark when they were on sales as a 5-er at JR, and liked them. Would I buy them at $8 each? Probably not. But I got a whole box when they were under $90.

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

My fave Cigar!!

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Don't be haters, I must be one of the few that like the Gurk line.
I admit there are some in the line that I don't appreciate and think taste like $#!T, but isn't that true of any line of cigars.
I would suggest a Black Dragon for all the non-believers.
I have found that CC addicts have a tendancy to steer clear.
Maybe because of their "refined tastes" (inability to smoke anything but their pet brands).
They are on the far end of the stronger blends, so for those that enjoy full bodied smokes and do not have an endles supply of CCs in their humi there is something in the line for every taste.

Like anything else let them age a bit and come back to them you might change your mind.

Have your opinions but don't be haters, I'm sure there are cigars in all of your list of must haves that I wouldn't appreciate. 2 way street fellas.

JMHO- Lensjockie

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

I have actually done a Gurkha blind taste test challenge and had to endure the most disgusting, horrible cigar I have ever tasted. Gurkha's have a ton of lines and some people like them, some people don't. For me, the reason "why" I don't like them is because they taste awful and have poor construction issues.

I can post the findings of that testing if you would like.

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

i have to point this out, it's kind of funny...

of all the gurkha love/hate threads its funny to see how many times people make the exact same post that basically says "some like them, some don't, smoke what you like"

(^^^ i'm not saying im guilty of it somewhere down the line... i just find it to be comical)

Seriously, go back and look at every post in this thread as well as others. The Reality of it is that exposure is exposure whether good or bad and i bet Kaizad Hansotia likes the controversial posts that we all make (good or bad)... even if they all reiterate the same thing.

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

So you are saying that Legend and Hansotia are one and the same?!?
:hm

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Well.... they are both on the intrawebz, and you know what that means.....

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

That they are of lesser quality than if they were at B&M's?

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

yes, that is correct!

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

there's also an H in Hansotia...

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Trust this man. If anyone has eaten a lot of ass its this guy. He definetly knows what ass taste like. Could you make it any easier?

Rule number 1. Smoke what you like.


From a former smoker of Gurkha:
As to the sticks. I used to like and smoke more of them. Some people begin to find them not very interesting over time. Then factoring in the prices it makes them a tougher stick to buy. There are still a few I would smoke, but not pay the price for. If you look at the options out there such as illusione, or pepin or padilla or oliva, many of us have a hard time paying the price for the few sticks that are mildly entertaining. Kind of similar to the Rocky Patel situation.

As asking this question on this board is bad idea. First of all this board is populated Habanos Heads to a large extent. Second of the rest of the smokers many have been smoking a long time. These are 2 groups of people who are not going to be in the Gurkha camp.

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Theres a Gurkha Camp???? Are they taking summer applications??? :r:r:r:r

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Yeah, your wife's. :D

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Shameful just shameful.

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Regarding posting here while on vacation. You're probably right. But I do it on my blackberry when relaxing or having a cigar. I'm kinda ADD like that. Like right now. My bride is getting ready. I'm smoking a stogie on the balcony and the old ADD kicked in so here I am.

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

are you smoking a gurkha?!

;)

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Hansotia only smokes his own product.

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Smoke what you like. :)

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Like what you smoke. :)

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Hey! I found a quarter!



Repetition, which can sometimes be a lovely thing, can also be a burden. :D:gl

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

This was kind of my point. For the most part people will say they don't like something and ok whatever smoke what you like. But Gurkha seems to elicit numerous venomous responses. So the point of this post was to figure out why. Which I think we've done.

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

I've decided not to read every post in this thread.

MCS

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

I think I have gas. Excuse me.

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

So shut 'er down?? :D

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Does that mean you have something better to do, Major?:D

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

I'll vote "Yes"!:tu

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Shut 'er down tom:r

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Please Tom? With sugar on top?



I am sure we will be regaled with more entertainment soon, but repetitive threads are annoying, ain't they, old son?
Besides, I have a few corkers coming up, regarding Cello, which is better CC or NC, Band off or on, and a whole goshdern list of Burning Questions!

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Gurkha, like a woman, took my money and done me wrong. That's why I hate Gurkha.

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Sorry, gots to be the OP in this case, Gents. ;)

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

The Brick and Mortar version of yens is a hell of a lot nicer than the intrawebz version, Admiral Dooshus Baggus.




I'm gonna go stomp my feet and think of ways to hold my breath until I turn blue.

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Isn't Kaizad Hansotia that guy they were looking for in Usual Suspects?

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

You mean you skipped my posts?!?:(
:tpd:

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Are you blue yet, Pete? :cool:

Apparently Legend doesn't care what color you turn. ;)

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

I don't hate Gs but I do hate the way CI praises these cigars like they're Jesus walkin on the water and I hate the inflated prices. I've seen em $20 at B&Ms. And then CI always has AMAZING deals on these things and they act like they are doing you such an amazing favor. I've tried 6 different ones and only liked the class regent, the others were just ok, or plain awful! For me, If I'm paying say, $8 a stick at a B&M, said stick better bring it!

Heck, the name Gurkha (which sounds dirty), Kaizer Sosze or whoever makes them, the silly man on the band, the hype...It's all ripe for comedy! But I'm sure some of them are good and if you like em then let yr freak flag fly. But for whatever reason, they are soooo much fun to make fun of.

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Just one of the Huevos, Murphy, and I think it has a little itch too, can you oblige? Would you rather recommend a cream?

Legend probably has creams and stuff, but I don't know where hes been, and momma done tol' me...

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

I recommend immersing your huevos in ranchero sauce, Petie. ;)

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

:tpd:now that's some good advice right there.:tu

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

Huh.. Who'd a thunk......

Ponders.......



Personal experience is the best teacher, Tom, but in this case, we may have to use the stated policy, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

alright, i've decided we should take a different approach and you all should smoke what i like.

yeah, there we go.

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

By me a couple Guinness and I'll tell, Pete. :r

?????

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

ok, tom - now you're answering yourself? hmm...

take two shots of vodka and call me in the morning. :tu

i'm off to the grand opening of jack white's record store. :)

Re: Gurkha hatin
 

I already did! :r :al

Is Jack White going to be at the opening?
