Gurkhas don't usually explode except for the fuerte and black puro. All the standard lines (Warrior, WArlord, Beauty, Beast, 1887s, Selects, Shaggies, etc.) don't ever explode. It is just the discount ones that do. And no, I don't think internet cigars are inferior to shpo cigars, so don't start........That said, I don't think I have ever had a bad Gurkha (besides Sherpa/Castle Hall/PArk Ave).
My biggest exploding brand these days is the Tatuaje, which is depressing because they are usually so good.
Yes, I am a Gurkha ho.......
