EricF · 11-26-2010, 12:01 PM

with this?

Save it, smoke it or sell it?

kelmac07 · 11-26-2010, 12:07 PM

Gurhka Grand Reserve?? Hell, fire it up!!

EricF · 11-26-2010, 12:08 PM

It's a HMR

kelmac07 · 11-26-2010, 12:10 PM

DAMN!! That's a $ 750 stick...but then again, it's a Gurhka.

I'd still fire it up.

Yeah that is true it is still just a Gurhka, but a real expensive one

The guy who gave it to me says that you can get drunk from it, I think just a mean nic buzz

maninblack · 11-26-2010, 12:17 PM

$750?! WTF? Smoke that bastard. Down to the nub. And then tell us how much it sucked.

11-26-2010, 12:19 PM

If I could find some knucklehead to give me a few hundred bucks for it, I would sell it... and buy a couple nice boxes of smokes. If not, fire it up...

Cheers,
G

I'm afraid I'd get sick from it or it would taste like dog poop

If i was offered money for it i'd probably take it. I could get a lot of good smokes for that much!

Exactly what I would do

11-26-2010, 12:11 PM

Torch it bro! Enjoy it and tell us about it!

Bill86 · 11-26-2010, 12:22 PM

It's a $750 Gurkha the only thing that makes sense is to sell it. See if you can't get $200 for it. I could never keep a cigar THAT expensive. Considering some of the TOP CC's are $40-$100..Gurkha has no place to charge near what they do for a cigar.

Bill86 · 11-26-2010, 12:43 PM

These use to be on CI, they aren't really hard to get at all or at least they weren't a month or two back. They are just deathly expensive ....and Gurkha. I WOULD NOT smoke that cigar google the reviews, no one is impressed.

These are also on Cbid from time to time, 4 years ago someone scored one for $195 shipped. So you know the markup here.....INSANE.

mosesbotbol · 11-26-2010, 12:58 PM

If you can get $150 for it, sell it. Buy a box of Habanos with the proceeds.

Eric, save it and use it at our next herf for a pass around. Then you can write a review.

I like you guys too much! I wouldn't subject you to that!

EricF · 11-26-2010, 03:17 PM

Well gentlemen, I will definetly smoke this cigar on New Years Eve after a dinner planned with 13 of my closest friends and relatives. We plan to go back to my BIL's house for more imbibing and smoking. It was suggested that I let this cigar breathe for a little while before smoking, so I will do just that and have camera and pen and paper ready for the review. I do not have high expectations for this, only because it is a Gurhka and I typical don't like them. This does not in any way take away from the other BOTL who do like Gurhka's. Just not in my flavor profile.

Thanks for everyones thoughts on this and have a safe weekend!
