Thanks everyone. Lit one up yesterday and it turned out OK. Definitely more mild then I remember them being almost two decades ago.

I've been aging Gurkha's I somehow came into possession of in hopes one day they will be good. They are going on 7-8 years now. Doubt I will be the one who smokes them, but I can give them to non cigar people and make it sound good. " Here you have a vintage 2010 Gurkha that has been aged for 8 years to enhance and bring out the flavors the maker crafted it to be" ha ha

That's basically the idea, although there is an accounting for personal preferences. You can know something is a good cigar, but it's not something in your wheelhouse, so you aren't going to smoke it, there should be no shame in gifting those. Knowingly and intentionally gifting crap though makes you a douche.

Your friend sounds like a real cool, salt of the earth guy. Wondering why he would be hanging out with you.... (j/k)

So you're saying that imported Erin-go-Bras are in your wheelhouse?
