Must have been paying for that hand-carved camel bone, because today the Black Dragon can be had (depending on vitola) for between $ 7.50 (robusto) to $ 17.50 (tubo).

MMMMM......Camel bone.

And for some it is that flavor, a mix of dirt, and, well.....more dirt

Ok, I have to ask...Who's the guy that looks like he owns a cargo van, and is just itching for the opportunity to, "show you something..."?

No disrespect, but my word that's a creepy look on their face.

I dislike Gurkha cigars because they taste bad.

I despise Gurkha's business model of "style over substance" and I'm appalled that, in a world where there are few remaining locally-owned hardware stores because people prefer to shop in Home Depots, people are choosing Gurkhas over better cigars.

Smoke what you like, blah blah blah...but if it's a Gurkha, you're doing it wrong.

That's one of the nicest, most giving brothers I've come across with my cigar adventures. He's a blast to be around. Granted he looks a lot better with hair and without so much facial hair. That is a hilarious picture of Stew! He would certainly laugh at your comment - my thoughts are he was going for that look.



And...

My take on Gurkha. They seem to be really proud of something I can't figure out. Reminds me of a peacock with the showy varieties and proud pricing, but in the end, it's a useless bird not fit to eat. Hell, I don't even like the bands. Reminds me of Hitler too much.

Absolutely....made a friend for life within the first 5 minutes of the first time I met him, at MegaMoB I in Chicago.
