[dphouse]

A friend of mine and I recently purchased a Gurkha sampler from CI and I finally got a chance to give them a try. The first Gurkha had a silver band (don't remember the name) and wouldn't stay lit for the life of me. The cigar wasn't very good to begin with and ultimately ended up in the trash after much frustration. Today I took out a Gurkha Regent and hoped for the best. The draw was good, but it felt as if the cigar was not tightly rolled. After about 1/2 of the way down, this cigar became very spicy and hot. I wasn't impressed whatsoever. For the time being, I am not very happy with our purchase. If anyone would like to trade for some of my Gurkha's, please feel free to PM me.

I am going to stick with the premium smokes; i.e. Padron '64...
