Gurkha hatin - Page 6

I dont hate Gurka's. I dont like em either for that fact.

Do they suck? Depends on the guy who buys it & lights it. The term "good" can be very subjective.
Is a Rolex watch a "good" watch? The answer you get will depend on who you ask.

I have some Gurka's, but will I smoke em? Probably not. Actually.....no.

Gurkha has an "H" in it.

Enjoying a Masters Select torp right now. Bought them on a lark when they were on sales as a 5-er at JR, and liked them. Would I buy them at $8 each? Probably not. But I got a whole box when they were under $90.

Don't be haters, I must be one of the few that like the Gurk line.
I admit there are some in the line that I don't appreciate and think taste like $#!T, but isn't that true of any line of cigars.
I would suggest a Black Dragon for all the non-believers.
I have found that CC addicts have a tendancy to steer clear.
Maybe because of their "refined tastes" (inability to smoke anything but their pet brands).
They are on the far end of the stronger blends, so for those that enjoy full bodied smokes and do not have an endles supply of CCs in their humi there is something in the line for every taste.

Like anything else let them age a bit and come back to them you might change your mind.

Have your opinions but don't be haters, I'm sure there are cigars in all of your list of must haves that I wouldn't appreciate. 2 way street fellas.

i have to point this out, it's kind of funny...

of all the gurkha love/hate threads its funny to see how many times people make the exact same post that basically says "some like them, some don't, smoke what you like"

(^^^ i'm not saying im guilty of it somewhere down the line... i just find it to be comical)

Seriously, go back and look at every post in this thread as well as others. The Reality of it is that exposure is exposure whether good or bad and i bet Kaizad Hansotia likes the controversial posts that we all make (good or bad)... even if they all reiterate the same thing.

Regarding posting here while on vacation. You're probably right. But I do it on my blackberry when relaxing or having a cigar. I'm kinda ADD like that. Like right now. My bride is getting ready. I'm smoking a stogie on the balcony and the old ADD kicked in so here I am.
