Why do they feel they have to copy the RE bands?

They "look" a little too great (esp for the price). That's the thing about CI and Gurkha (that you all heard before, I know): "For a limited time only, these amazing cigars that retail for 20 bucks a stick are on sale for redickulous prices." Only the sale is permanent and the prices are always "sale". Don't get me wrong. I'm not flaming the Gurk lovers. I've enjoyed the Class Regent quite a bit (others; not so much). Also the whole "backorder" thing might just be a sales ploy. Remeber what Martin Van Buren said "If an offer looks to good to be true..."

Please if you try em let us know. Good Luck, smurfman.

I hear you and you are right... everyone wants to say that "this certain Gurkha retails for 11.99" but we all know that we can get them """on sale""" at CI for 3 bucks a pop.


I am going to buy a box when i have the opportunity. i will let all you Gurkha-lovers know how i feel when i smoke them.

The VH-7's look/sound good


Gurkha Micro-Batch: VH-7
Wrapper: Nicaraguan Habano ‘04
Binder: Ecuador
Filler: 60% Nicaraguan ligero, 30% Nicaraguan Viso, 10% Pennsylvanian Broadleaf
Strength: Medium-Full
Production: 50,000 cigars
Aging: 120 days, post rolling

hmmm. Curious about the broadleaf as filler. Isn't that usually wrapper? never heard of Habano '04, but there are soooo many new wrappers these days. I'd definitely try one.

i recieved my 10 pack of the toro VH-7 and they are a pretty good smoke (keep in mind im a bit of a gurkha lover, lol). The body was deff. medium but it was my 2nd cigar of the day so i will test another one soon. Great burn/draw even though its box pressed (that blew me away).

they are ghurkas, nough said

maybe because the RE bands are fancy and usually mean "green" etc...

I like double bands on cigars, and those compliment the new blue gurkha crest nicely.. .but i htink the color scheme is a little off.

regardless, twas still a nice smoke.

Excuse me for being out of it for a while, but what is RE?
