They tricked me!!! I'm smoking a Gurkha!

TheTraveler · 06-09-2012, 12:14 PM

Well, sort of. I'm smoking an East India Trading Company cigar called "Wicked Indie". And it's a pretty good cigar. And that's the problem ......

EITC is a subsidiary of Gurkha, which is a fact I did not know before purchasing these two robustos. I suppose I can no longer be a Gurkha hater. I'm sad. What's next? Will I find myself cheering for the Yankees? If that tragic day ever occurs I may just crawl into a hole and never come out.

So in spite of the fact that it's a robusto and a Gurhka (sort of) I like it. I bought two so I'll let this other one sit for a few months while I contemplate the nature and possible futility of being anti- (insert name of company or organization here).

Wait until you smoke the other one. One good Gurhka does not make a fan.

TheTraveler · 06-09-2012, 12:33 PM

True, but this one is good. Some spice, lots of smoke, perfect draw a little higher nicotine content than I'm used too - perfect following a heavy lunch and preceding afternoon baseball + nap.

That settles it, I'm never smoking the second one. It's too dangerous; if I like it too I'm toast. They won't let me back into the He-man Gurhka Haters Club.

You could try a gorilla finger to see if you like that....

TheTraveler · 06-09-2012, 12:53 PM

Hmm, gorilla finger eh? Intriguing .....

Actually, the only way I'd smoke one of those crazy cigars is ...... nah, I'd never try one. Too many reviews with

smileys in them for me to try those!

If it can happen to The Dark Lord, Jonathan, it can happen to anyone.

The problem arises if it happens twice.

Was that a puff-puff-pass or was it his alone?

Coincidentally I'm back at Sidetrack Tobacco in Bristol, VA, smoking another of these Wicked Indie cigars ... and liking it.
