So that went in the stinky and i got down to some thinking construction wise (or lack there of) is a gurkha the bastard child of the cuban montecristo line as both seem to churn out a ton of cigars both seem to have issues maintaining quality construction (13/15 of the gurkhas have either been plugged,soft,loose or exploded)

So dose anyone els find the Gurkhas to be inconsistent or am i just having a really bad run of luck and if i am can you suggest a good Gurkha with a flavour other than burning carpet maybe dark chocolate and spice with earthy notes like a nice montie edmundo.
I'm not sure such a cigar exists.

I would respectfully suggest punctuation in your posts. Without it, it makes for a difficult read.

I find Cuban Montecristos to be of much higher quality in flavor and construction. Just one man's opinion.
