A cigar I see quite often on this site is the "Gurkha Centurian", why the misspelling?
I figure it has to be intentional but, why? Is K.H. a moosilme and hesitant to glorify a Roman soldier? Seems weird to me especially when you consider that Gurkha tribesmen enlisted and fought in the British Army during colonial times.

I've never smoked a Gurkha and don't plan to anytime soon but, every time I see them on this site my curiosity is aroused. School me please. Yes, I did a search but, found nothing.
Thanks!

I got a five pack of the Gurka Centurian a couple of months ago and have smoked three. The first was awful in every way from burn to taste and I thought the second couldn't be that bad. It was. And the third....well let's just say I won't be smoking the other two. There was a week passed between each cigar smoked.
Smoking fine cigars for 50 years.
