Re: Gurkha Hate
 
When I started smoking cigars again in earnest, I enjoyed the Gurkha Fuerte quite a bit. I haven't smoked too many other ones, but the ones I smoked weren't entirely memorable one way or the other. I was planning on revisiting the Fuerte line, but I understand the blend has been changed. That being the case, there are plenty of other cigars that I know I enjoy, so I haven't been too tempted to try any more.

The Dobles have a permanent place in my humidor and they are currently back available and can be had at a reasonable price on the Cbid

Two reasons:
- Because they suck
- Because charging $15+ for a Torano made stick sucks

I found it mild, but good.......of course I have only had one and this was early in my obsession, who knows how I would feel about it now.

I h8 most of them. They're overpriced, overhyped, and they're overpackaged. Plus, most are just plain nasty. The vintage shaggy is the only one I have any use for.

I think everybody has valid points....I too was suckered in with the advertising and boughs LOTS of Gurkhas....even let them sit for almost two years to see if they would get better or whether my taste buds would change but they just aren't for me. They definitely do a good job of marketing....

Gentlemen, we have a winner. Remo is fair, "don't hate em, just don't like them.
