Gurkha Titan

Guys,

My searching skills could be sketchy on Sunday mornings so I did not find an answer to this. But what do people think of the Gurkha Titan? There are crazy deals for these floating around right now. Are they overhyped or good? top25 seems to like them but the comments about body/flavor profile are all over the place.

Any thoughts from you guys?

Lu

Re: Gurkha Titan

I have heard from a few people that they were great smokes, but I have yet to smoke one myself. If they are a good deal, I say get some and give them a try.

Re: Gurkha Titan

Talk about timing. I just lit one up 5 minutes ago. It started off nicely, almost berry-like sweetness, strong floral notes and a hint of pepper. I'm thoroughly enjoying it right now.

Re: Gurkha Titan

Is that a challenge?

Hmmm, if I'm not going out to dinner Tuesday I may just do that...

Re: Gurkha Titan

I have moved on from Gurkha, but I did enjoy these. I think they are a good smoke.

Re: Gurkha Titan

It was very nice, big, but nice. Not as strong as it looks.

Re: Gurkha Titan

Done deal then. Just ordered a couple! I love the fact that these are discounted ~90%... maybe the MSRP is a tad too high to begin with!

[SIZE=3]Where did you order from?
90% discount sounds good I could get a few and try them.

Re: Gurkha Titan

I have a couple of Titans, and a couple of Beast sitting in the cooler since Feb. Haven't tried either yet. Getting bout that time though. I also have several of th Gurhka Extra Fuerte's sitting in there, had one the other day, very good no wrapper issues, very nice burn all the way through. I have enjoyed all the Gurhkas I've tried so far. But I only buy them at Cigar Bid because I can get them cheap.

The MSRP is a joke, as with most Gurks, but if you can find it for about 5 bucks its a great buy.

Re: Gurkha Titan

I had a CI order and they offered 10 for $49 during checkout. Apparently cigar.com is offering 5 for $30 at checkout too. I figured what the hella nd took the 10 for $49. On the devil site the same 10 are going for over $60 so I think I did ok. Exactly $5 a smoke so yeah, cant go wrong.

Re: Gurkha Titan

the Titan is the best Gurkha i've smoked. It's got a lot of sweet, chocolate, caramel notes with quite a bit of nutty flavor. If you like those flavors, this cigar has quite a bit of them.
