Thanks for the engaging review. I too love the side stories. I have placed a link to this thread that was discussing the milder side of Ghurkas.

Having 4 of these left in the humi and wondering about them beyond the enginerring materpiece that they are... You have created a sense of anticipation for the correct moment when I have both the 2 hours and a place where I can share the spectacle that is the Gurkha Grand Master Dos Capas

Thank you for the very lucid and entertaining review.

I smoked several of these and for the first time, found a Gurkha that left me asking more questions about this cigar than getting fulfillment. It was not bad by any stretch of the imagination. I suppose after all the smoke has settled, I can say that it is a great looking cigar....amazing looking cigar, but this is one book that's cover is greater than its content.

I smoked one about 9-10 months ago. While I didn't think it was awlful then, I think I will appreciate it more now. My taste weren't as keen as they are now. I smoked it then, because I was going to a party where I knew most of my time was going to be spent outside with the other smokers, and it was a conversation piece to say the least.

Nice review. I almost felt like I was at the end of the bar watching you smoke.

I was gifted one of these last summer. I just have to wait for the weather to warm up more till I can sit outside long enough to enjoy it. Looks like Id have to devote a good 2 hours to it.
