I was repeating what Gurkha claims. They say the Evil is "pure strength". I think they both are very bland.

Kaizad was in the premium watch business.

You can grow tomacco.... One of the funniest Simpsons episodes.

I am pretty new to smoking cigars so take this for what it is worth but I had a few Gurkhas in some samplers. I always here terrible things about them. I usually tend to want to like something that every one piles on. I did try a one that just said 1887. It was actually a really tasty cigar. I then decided to try another. I picked the Gurkha Legend. I threw it out after smoking about 1 inch. First and only cigar I could not smoke. I really wanted to like it but it literally tasted like dirt. I thought people meant it tasted bad like "dirt". It really tastes like dirt tastes.

As always... You may love it. Different strokes...

Just checked the Gurkha site... It was the Red 1887 that I really enjoyed.

I may catch flak for this, but I don't care:
While there are many Gurkhas I've not had (they make, what? 3,200 different cigars now?), I've really enjoyed several of the ones I've smoked, including Regent (Toro, Torpedo), Legend (Toro, Churchill), Doble Maduro (Toro), Fuerte (Toro, XO), & Beast (Toro). On the other hand, I've never spent more than $2.20 (with shipping) for any Gurkha I've had. At that price point, they're worth it. I'd never consider them at regular retail prices.
Not had the Assassin or thousands of others Gurkha makes, but the point of this is that they make so many, the odds are there are some you will enjoy.

Don't let the masses here dissuade you. YOU like them or you don't.
