Gurkha Micro Batch Series

[slyder]

Just saw these in the new CI catalog. Anybody tried em? like em? price seems good for a Gurkha.

[slyder]

nobody?

I have had my fill of Gurkha's.... Seems more marketing then good blends lately.

I have tried a ton, and my favorite is still the Nepalese Warriors. Lately the ones I have tried have done nothing for me at all. Pretty let down.

I got my catalog today and when I saw them I thought "oy, not another blend!" Now, I've always loved Gurkhas but this is getting ridiculous! What next? A peanut butter and meth blend?

[Coop D]

I would be all about the peanut butter Meth blend!!!

[slyder]

yeah it is getting kinda crazy huh! You would think they would run out of ways to blend a cigar. Cant be too many more combinations they can use. Ive never smoked a Gurkha......ever. Looked at a few, smelled a few...passed on em. Im poor! I gotta stay below that $75 mark for my "top shelf" gars and below $45 for my "go to" stuff. Thats why when i saw the price i got a little excited. But im not buying anything till i hear some stories or i can find some 5 packs.

They are probably CI exclusives like those Blue Steel ones I've been seeing at the devil site. With the quality control issues I've been experiencing, doubt either of these blends will ever see the inside of my humidor.

I saw these in the catalogue last night, and I have a secret jones for the lancero. It is calling for me.

I'm a relative noob to Gurkha, but I have to concur with what someone above said about quality control. I got a 12 pack of Gurkha Fuerte XO's and half of them burn like crap. The flavors are decent, but I'm just glad I got these for so cheap when CI was getting rid of extra Gurkha stock before SCHIP (at least thats what I assume due to the 40 dollar price tag rather than 150, lol)

[Jack Straw]

Yeah, the one gurkha I've had burned very unevenly, but it was so damn tasty I just put in a bid for 10 more.

[Zarathustra19]

Jack, I started that way too, lol. I got one Fuerte XO and loved the mix of flavors, but after 12 I've started to get tired as hell of the uneven burn and relights.

[Jack Straw]

Yeah for me it is the Class Regent Nepalese Warrior. Fantastic flavor. I'm hoping after letting them rest naked in the cooler they will even out a bit.
