Micro TPB-1 - box pressed lance w/corojo wrapper....v good....if you find some, lmk....smoked last one about two years ago
Titan - OR (any that I purchased after 2009 were mediocre)....deep, sweet flavors, burns well, lasts a couple hours
Ancient Warrior - Get one from 2008 or earlier (purple; not yellow) --- recently re-released versions are way beyond horrible....I can't think of another cigar that was so completely fd up between OR and re-release...great to unfnsmokeable
There was another skinny box press from days gone by...I can't recall the name....believe it was a cameroon wrapper...decent enough for the coin
I have not had one single Gurkha sold since 2011 that was worth one half what I paid for it...there may be some out there, but I refuse to believe that it might be worth the risk of going through some absolutely **** cigars that may well explode on you I think this subject matter, (OR vs re-issue), has been addressed in another thread, but I just had to add my $.02
The OR Black Pearl Morado (purple band) was an excellent cigar.
The re-issue truly SUCKED !
As far as OR Gurkhas go . . . In addition to the Ancient Warrior mentioned above, I liked the Centurian XX, Royal Brigade, Nepalese Warrior, Class Regent, and probably a few others that I can't think of at the moment.
Have not had ONE "new" Gurkha that even came close to my liking.
