I was on a quest for the best budget cigars for a while.
Realized you gotta pay to play. And not pay Gurkha msrp, but buy quality cigars.
Wasted a lot of money on them, only to be disappointed by every single one. Occasionally I'd get a good one in a sampler or something, but then I'd buy that one again, and it would be crap.
Of all the money I wasted on trying to find a good cheap cigar, Gurkha takes the cake for the most dollars spent. Their advertising worked on me for a while. Now I know better.
Likewise Gurkha for me as well.
Won a mazo of Gurkha "War? Something or other" here and they were just garbage, unsmokeable.
Never tried again, never will.
Managed to find a couple of decent yard gars here but all have been discontinued save one. That one is now going for 40+ for a mazo of 20 so, not likely to buy them again either unless the price goes back down to $19.
Mainly buying better quality gars now when I can get them on sale which is pretty often.
