Gurkha Genghis Khan (Churchill)

*Only rested for about two weeks from Cigarbid in 62%. Didn't really care - needed a Gurkha.

Intial Puffs:

Pepper

Little sweetness

Medium to strong tobacco flavor. Not great, but not bad. The pepper and sweetness help it, and pricepoint-wise I've had worse.

Not bad, and pretty good for a Gurkha and $1 stick.

Afterwards:

Sweetness kinda drops off

Pepper doesn't drop off, but you can still notice it

It was a solid stick, taste-wise

The "Gurkha dropoff" (defined in another review) doesn't really apply with this one

I smoked it to about half-way, due to it's size, and the decrementing sense of enjoyment and overall interest as each puff passed.

Trial By Smoke Judgement:

It's another forgettable Gurkha, and another forgettable Cigarbid budget-bin stick. Not bad, nowhere near good, but right in the middle between alright and bad. Laughably, it's priced at $9 (CI MSRP). It's not the worst way to spend a dollar, but I'd rather other smokes I've found there for the same amount. Only recommended to the Budget Bums or Gurkha Bums, who are in search of easy, and possibly-worthy $1 "wins". I'm good with the Genghis Khan - I know the saying about trying more than one, but those dollars would be better spent on other unknowns or better $1 sticks.
