Are you blue yet, Pete? :-)

Apparently Legend doesn't care what color you turn. :-)

I don't hate Gs but I do hate the way CI praises these cigars like they're Jesus walkin on the water and I hate the inflated prices. I've seen em $20 at B&Ms. And then CI always has AMAZING deals on these things and they act like they are doing you such an amazing favor. I've tried 6 different ones and only liked the class regent, the others were just ok, or plain awful! For me, If I'm paying say, $8 a stick at a B&M, said stick better bring it!

Heck, the name Gurkha (which sounds dirty), Kaizer Sosze or whoever makes them, the silly man on the band, the hype...It's all ripe for comedy! But I'm sure some of them are good and if you like em then let yr freak flag fly. But for whatever reason, they are soooo much fun to make fun of.

Just one of the Huevos, Murphy, and I think it has a little itch too, can you oblige? Would you rather recommend a cream?

Legend probably has creams and stuff, but I don't know where hes been, and momma done tol' me...

I recommend immersing your huevos in ranchero sauce, Petie. :-)

:-)now that's some good advice right there.:-)

Huh.. Who'd a thunk......

Personal experience is the best teacher, Tom, but in this case, we may have to use the stated policy, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

alright, i've decided we should take a different approach and you all should smoke what i like.

yeah, there we go.
[Reply]

By me a couple Guinness and I'll tell, Pete. :-)

?????
[Reply]

ok, tom - now you're answering yourself? hmm...

take two shots of vodka and call me in the morning. :-)

i'm off to the grand opening of jack white's record store. :-)
[Reply]

Is Jack White going to be at the opening?

Gurkha... There OK for $2-$3 ... thats all
[Reply]

gurka blah. blah.... yard gar, "can i have a cigar" box...
[Reply]

you know, i've heard this statement alot. i believe that gurkhas are not worth their MSRP prices. i would pay in the 6-8 dollar range for them...

then again... most gurkhas can be had for 3 bucks a CBID
[Reply]

I think alot of the "hate" comes from the shameless marketing. I will say this though...my second love when I was introduced to cigars was the Gurkha Legend. I'm not sure if I would still like em...haven't smoked a Gurkha in over 2 years but at the time I really liked em.

evidently i just missed him by about a half hour. a friend was there later than me, jack walked up, chatted with the people and left. my friend snapped a few pics of jack talking with his kid. totally cool. i'll post it over here:

I find them inconsistant and lousy.
I have a bunch of Gurkhas and I'm putting a little time on them. That might help, but I doubt it. It's hard to fix something that's totally screwed up from the git-go.
I get the feeling from Gurkha that they're far and away more interested in selling a brand than a good cigar.
[Reply]

I can actually agree with that. If I had to choose between a Hansotia product and a Reyes product, I would go with a Gurkha. :-)

You know, I hadn't really stopped to consider this thread before today. I read through the first 2 pages, and decided I wasn't going to read any more.

BUT... I did manage to work up an opinion on the subject in what I read.

1) What's the point of the question?
2) While I enjoy reading reviews of cigars, not everything others love, will I love. Nor, by the same token, will others find all the things I love something they enjoy.

I love fishing, my wife hates it - but she loves to eat what I catch. A pretty good combination if you ask me.

So my opinion boils down to this. Smoke what you enjoy, and enjoy it! You can only please your palate, do it with whatever suits your tastes.
[Reply]

your opinion is one of 1000 similar opinions in every gurkha discussion thread.
