who can identify this gurkha for me?

Don Fernando · 12-14-2008, 12:42 PM

I smoked a gurkha tonight, but I don't know which one it is:

The cigar is quite dark, 6 inch long and ring 50. The band has little letters 'g g g g g g g g g g' below the drawing of the warrior.

I believe that is a Gurkha Master Select. I have had/enjoyed many Gurkhas but never that one. How was it?

I believe that is the new Gurkha Limited Edition Select Anniversario Master's Reserve Gold Legend Symphony Royal Platinum Vintage Brigade Grand Signature Quadruple Ligero Nepalese Titan Beast Warrior.

I keed, I keed. I don't think too many of their cigars are cedar wrapped, so that could narrow it down.

Heh, I was believing you until about halfway through...

the guys & girls in chat thought it was a master select too, so I think it is.

well, never been a Gurkha fan, never had one that was good but this one surprised me in a good way.

I have had several Gurkhas, but the master select is the only I have liked so far.

I liked the class regent nepalese warrior. I have another gurkha sitting in my cooler. I can't rememebr which it is off hand though. I want to try the symphony and the Legend.

That Masters Select is pretty good, and you can get them for a deal at JR on occasion. I have only tried that one and the Class Regent -- got a box of those for $89 a few months ago. Also have some Legends, I think -- they need some easier names.

The Gurhka website has pictures of all their sticks, but is not the easiest to navigate, IMHO.

The first picture is 100% a master's select. I have a few in my humidor. The second picture is a royal brigade perfecto.

Pretty good cigar... Not as earthy and dark as most of the others.

Haven't had either the Master Select or Royal Brigade, but Nepalese Warriors are pretty good. I've got a few others in my humidors that I haven't smoked yet.

Now that's funny!

Yeah it is one of the only Gurkha's that i like. For some reason, when I first light them I get a taste of toasted marshmallows or something. Very good.
