Gurkha

[Usafvet509]

Now that I have finished the RyJ review set, I believe I will start a Gurkha set that I have assembled. This thread has me curious about them. My experience with them is limited. I know I have enjoyed 2, the Cellar Reserve and Master Select. Thanks to @samiam2007 , I have 5 from the dog rocket pass, including a Black Ops.

The Centurian was not a winner for me. I've smoked a couple of Black Ops and they're not bad. Other than that I've stayed away from the marca.

Class Regent Robusto and Shaggy Lancero are the two that were smokeable with at least three months rest. Six is better...

I enjoyed the WidowMaker, Beast and the Beauty. I don't think I would buy anymore but they were a solid smoke. The Beauty is the best representation of cinnamon flavor profile I have ever had in a cigar. It was crazy cinnamon flavor.

Cheers

I have had a couple of Beasts and thought they were very good.
I got one in a sampler and can't remember the name. It was in a cedar sleeve and it was terrible.

So I'm batting .500 with Gurkhas.

I do have a couple of Status maduros that I got on C-Bid on the way. We'll see how they are.

Adding: Oh I forgot, I did have a couple of Black Ops maduros. They weren't anything to write home about but were fine for yard gars or golf course smokes. Definitely not terrible.

The Doble Maduros I wouldn't look forward to trying again but I remember liking the Black Ops. Liked the Centurion too.

Gurkha Park Avenue CT and Maduro are great cheapies. I believe I had one called the Ghost a while back and enjoyed it. Other than that, not a fan. Have had several in samplers and whatnot, which failed to turn my handle.

Only have a Titan sitting in the humi waiting its turn but have never had any smoking experience with them yet. I've heard people say there is a couple of lines which PDR make for them and they are quite smokable. I doubt I'll ever smoke much of them for the simple fact that they like to make the vast majority of their sticks in *big* vitolas, which doesnt suit me much. Only true test is to smoke up, brother!

The status maduro, and European selection habano are good online ghurkas. I also enjoy the Ghosts only available in BM's. My main issue with ghurkas is construction. The wrappers practically fly off.

The Park Ave are fine.
