Has Gurkha redeemed themselves? - Page 2

I used to like Gurkha (Centurian and Black Dragon) when I first started smoking- the only problem was the wrappers always seemed to split.

I tried a few ghurkas and I liked them all so far

There are many better brands out there in the market.
For instance ; CAO is my favorite brand of all times.

Different strokes for different folks. CAO is on my crap list for some truly horrendous smokes. I've had a few good Gurk's but not a single good CAO. Everyones taste is a little different.

Maybe they've finally seen the light and have tried a bit harder to make a better stick. I had completely written them off except for the Vintage Shaggy. It took a free cigar to even get me to look at them again. It looks like they spend too much on fancy packaging instead of paying attention to the actual taste.

Jake a lot of guys here locally LOVE the cellar reserve! One of my buddy's loves the KOI! He says it packs the most punch and has great flavors to boo! I still haven't had the resolve to try one myself, but the next time i see them I may just grab one.

I went through a whole box of G3s without any problem. A very tasty and distinctive smoke. I still have the last one and I will try a recent one from a B&M and if it is still good I will buy another box. I have not liked any other Gurkha enough to buy another one.

As a Noob, take my opinion with a grain of salt. But, I have tried 4 different Gurkhas with the G3 being the only one I would smoke again if someone gave it to me.

I have a Cellar Reserve in the humi. I have had a few Gurkha's and have not been real impressed.
