All Cigar Discussion>Wow. Didn't Know Gurkhas Were Thought Of So Highly
Catfish 07:36 AM 04-15-2009
Man, these guys are really high on Gurkhas.

Cigar.com Daily Deal

Looking for the best? Gurkha Centurian is about as nice as they come. Originally commissioned by one of the richest men in the world for his daily cigar, Centurian is reserved for the most discerning aficionados.

Gurkha is the top manufacturer when it comes to the best tobacco and the most prestigious reputation. Simply put, they are the best of the best and are considered the "Rolls Royce" of the cigar industry. (O' RLY?!)

While Gurkha is one of the most prestigious cigar makers in the world, Centurian is their most prestigious cigar blend. Made in sparing numbers, this cigar was originally commissioned by the Sultan of Brunei, one of the world's richest and most powerful men, for his personal everyday cigar. Because no corners could be cut in constructing such a perfect cigar, it is made in a perfecto shape (tapers on both ends) making it a size only the most qualified rollers at the factory can produce. This requirement means you can expect flawless construction, appearance, and taste from this cigar. The 8-year-old Dominican fillers are finished with a Connecticut wrapper allowing for a medium-bodied cigar with a unique and enticing aroma.

Now put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Care Factor.....Zero!!!!! :-)

Personally I put K. Hansotia and Rocky Patel in the same category. Too many lines... how could anyone make a consistent quality smoke when they are producing line after line. Rocky would slap his name on a cameroon wrapped dog turd if it put a few bucks in his pocket. I feel K. Hansotia would do the same. Hence the celebrity pimping of his line above. Who cares!

OK rant over...bad day...The weather is great and I'm stuck in the office working 12hr shifts :-). Between you and me Id rather be outside smoking a Gurkha :-)

They have way too many lines to sift through. I did have a Legend perfecto and it was pretty good. I just do not know which lines are their "go to" lines.
