Smoked a Gurkha today.

pektel · 07-12-2011, 06:18 PM

My first one. I was led to believe these are total dog rockets. While it ain't the greatest, it ain't the worst either. It's a Gurkha fuerte toro. Nothing that's making me pitch it early, but nothing to write home about either. There is, however, a slight chemical taste to it that isn't very appealing. Just showed up now. Will advise on if it goes away soon...

I've had some okay, some less than okay...no dog rockets tho.

You banned him, didn't ya? I figured it was one step too far.

Lol. To update, I did pitch it shortly thereafter. The chemical taste got stronger, and it actually started unravelling on me.

The empire IVs are fairly good. Have to look up the pricing on them, but if they're around 6-7 bucks then Id say theyre worth it

A Gurkha with wrapper issues?? Say it isn't so.
