I'm sitting here at my local B&M smoking a Gurkha Shaggy Salomon because it was smoke any Gurkha for half off and I haven't had a Gurkha in a year or so, I figured what the hell I'll try it since it's HALF OFF....

I remember why I don't smoke Gurkhas anymore! Anyone want the rest of this smoke?

I started smoking a lot of them early on, not so many now.

Smoking a Grand Age right now.

Intriguing cigar, not great, not bad and a tad milder than I like.

These threads have had me steering clear of Ghurka's. Are they really that bad of a cigar, or just not up to the pallets of some people? What are they comparable to? I almost bought a shaggy last weekend, but after reading thread after thread on here about them being bad...I shy away.

IMHO, Gurkhas are not what you would call "Dog Rockets". Some have decent flavor, however they are not nearly worth the price they are being sold for. ...Ever.

I've had a few, and while none to me were amazing, none were really terrible either. Even if you hear bad reviews, you should still maybe try one as everyone has different tastes. I'm sure some people really like them.

All hype, no cigar.
They make awesome boxes though.

Just don't pay retail. Like others have said, try a few.
They are had at the devil site for a few bucks a stick.

The legends are good and I still like the Master’s Select's too.

Buy it and try it! Nothing wrong with trying out new cigars, and hey if you like it, good for you. I started out smoking Gurkhas and after some time, I decided to try other smokes which I found to be much better.

Someone mentioned not to pay msrp for them, I agree with you. If you can find a good deal on them, why not give it a try if you never tried one before.

Oh and Darrell, you are too kind my friend! Haha... didn't you see my post about not being able to make it to the barn herf??
