Gurkha hatin

Remembered a few more

Legend

G3

G5

Regent

Nepalese warrior.

Warlord

Beast

Titan

Super fuerte

Anyway. Seems to me the venom comes from the price and advertising along with the not preferring the taste. Also mentioned was consistancy and construction.

Now the consistancy and construction I've not noticed and I've smoked a lot of gurkhas is actually one of the things I like. Only a few of the internet only ones were a little bit inconsistent. The super fuerte comes to mind. Probably my least favorite Gurkha. But I think I understand it more. Which was the point of the post. Not to argue. Thanks guys.

I think the core members of this forum have been smoking cigars for some time and as Klugs touched on the Gurkha's seem to be a part of "cigar evolution." They just are a part of the evolution most of us have already been through and likely will not return to. I used to smoke a lot of Gurkha's, especially during my days of heavy involvement with cbid. I remember liking the Expedition and the Titan. At the time I felt they were good smokes for what I was paying for them on cbid. Now, whatever inventory I have is usually used as giveaways. I don't hate the cigars or the brand, as with most NC's I just don't smoke them anymore.

Not for me...I could care less. I just don't like how they taste.

I have smoked a handfull of different Gurkha blends and they all seem to taste very similar...Bad.
