Gurks have a rep for being beat upon. They have as any other line - some you will like and others you will not. It a boutique brand, like Tats, etc. Some are over priced and others priced ok. Personally I think a lot of Pepins and Tats are tremendously over priced for the smokes, but a lot like to chase them. Some love CAOs and Drew Estates cigars and neither will pass my lips, not that they are a "bad" cigar, just bad to me. Smoke everything you can and see what you think, biuld your own thoughts.

As the saying goes - smoke what ya like and like what ya smoke.

I may not agree with the cigars he doesn't appreciate - but he's exactly right. If all our tastes were the same, there wouldn't bee the need for all the different brands.

Enlighten me

I want to learn how to appreciate them even more.

At this point probably the best cigar I have tried is a Rocky Patel Vintage 1990
