Default Gurkha Crest
I bought a 10 pack of these pretty cheap about a month ago and I'm trying one right now for the first time.

I was a bit worried at first because I was getting some kind of cigarette butt flavor right off the bat. As the cigar has progressed, though, and more into the last two-thirds I'm getting some of the SAME flavors I got from the Opus X lost city. It tastes like smoking a chocolate-almond biscotti. I'm PLEASANTLY surprised!

Sorry, this isn't a full review but I just wanted to put it out there that I'm glad I made the purchase and I'm excited to see what these things do with some more aging.

Randy

It sounds lke a nice must try stick. Around here folk either love or hate them. I think they have a few good lines but then again I only know what I like... Thanks for the short review...

Read your review... "nuts and cocoa"... almonds and chocolate perhaps? I was worried I spent too much money on these... gurkhas get lambasted a lot. I REALLY enjoyed these! Glad I'm not the only one...

Like I said... it started out with some really bad cigarette butt flavor. I don't know where that came from but it faded very quickly and I was happy to find that I really liked these.

Sounds awesome. A wise hog once said : Smoke what you like and like what you smoke.

Never had the Crest though, if it tastes like an OpusX Lost City, maybe I'd like it.

Well... I'm telling ya... especially the second third of the Crest... it tasted JUST like an Opus X lost city to me. Maybe not quite as rich but the flavors were absolutely there. I just wish I could figure out where those nasty flavors came from at the beginning. The foot was a bit damaged/crushed so maybe that had something to do with it.

Gurkha does get bashed, glad you enjoyed it. I have only had one Gurkha (can't remember which) not very good but like Rico said, they have a ton of lines
