Just heard about the Gurkha Spec Ops cigar on their facebook page
Does anyone know anything about these?

Hey Jim! We just got in two cases. I must say, they are very nice and *gasp* a pretty good deal.
They come in a Otter Box/Cigar Caddy type case w/ purge valve that will hold 30 cigars (officially). Only 20 cigars come in it and only two 10 ct. foam trays are included. You would need to purchase a third to use it to it's full potential. It also comes with a commemorative coin and a really cool, high quality, fixed blade knife with sheath that straps around the leg.
By far the most intriguing Gurkha product, imo.

This looks like an excellent idea on Gurkha's part. Nicely done.

From what I heard a while back; Gurkha put out 3 new cigars at the same point in time about 6 months ago...
in this "run" the Special Ops, Ninja, and Viper were introduced. The special Ops box also comes with a D-2 knife. I have not had any of them. In the last year its been insanely tough to keep up with all their releases!

As much as I am not a fan of their cigars, you gotta give it up for their marketing team.

Big ...huge...massive understatement. Gurkha and Rocky Patel both need to chill the hell out. They need to pick a couple styles and do them well instead of a bunch of overpriced mediocre sticks.
The only Gurkhas I really like are the ORIGINAL RELEASE (4 years ago or so?) of the Titan, Beast & Black Beauty. The couple Centurians were pretty good, but not worth the cash. Rockys original 1990 was very good, but seriously. He has been making the same blend for years nd years now. How long can he cling the 20 year old tobacco story.

That one is a bit different than the ones I have. The cigars have a second band that says Special Ops and the knives in them are all black. The coin looks the same. Trust me when I say it's a really nice knife and case. Can't say much about the cigars.

I have yet to smoke a Gurkha or a Rocky Patel I did not like -- my problem with them is that I keep going back instead of expanding my pallet

Hey Chappy,
I agree 100% with you. Gurkha and RP are always a pleasure!
