You'll see Gurkhas in my humis, too. Three different paths; some left over from early cbid binges where I bought the hype; some (two?) that I found that I actually enjoy when I can 'steal' them on cbid, and some that arrived via bombs - from other poor botl's who got duped, I guess. They get ripped pretty bad on forums, but I think they have their place.

If you have any confidence in your pallet, pick up two or three of something that experienced brothers here are largely happy with - not something released in last 6 months -- that excitement can evaporate -- let others chase LE's. But try a brown label Tat or an Illusione....and see if your taste coincides at all with what you might have read in a favorable review.
I appreciate the input! Now I have a direction to begin looking. I have no taste yet whatsoever so I appreciate all the help I can get! I'll keep a look out for a brown label Tat or an Illusione, much appreciated.
