This might shock you but I agree with you for the most part. I have only smoked one Gurkha that I enjoyed and that was a maduro Ancient Warrior perfecto. I enjoy many Patel smokes. If you want to start this crap about people blending too many smokes, add Pepin into the list. At this point I am ready to be banned since Pepin is the new god who took the place occupied by Rocky for a couple of years. The key point is that these folks make a whole bunch of blends. Try them and smoke the ones that you like. I took the easy way out and moved to Oliva and smoke their stuff for the most part.
