Firstly, if you put your actual email address as your username on a forum, your inbox will get exactly what you deserve 😁 .

B. My very first win on cbid was for some gurkha's. I ended up sending them to Carson with ample warning about how awful they were. He smoked them, then shortly after got sick and quit smoking cigars. You've been warned.

Now, those Serie V are tasty....

While Gurkhas aren't on my Top 5 list .... or even my Top 10 - I can't say that I've ever had a bad experience with one (and I've had plenty over the years). The only thing about Gurkhas is that, for a brand with 57 varieties, there is very little variation in their flavors.

And I definitely agree about the Serie V. The Melanio Maduro is on my Top 5 list.

In no particular order.

La Gloria Cubana Wavell
Aging Room Quattro Nicaraguan Maestro
Drew Estate Herrera Esteli Habano Toro Especial
La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor Reserva Maximo
Montecristo Nicaragua Toro

All of these pair well with a Balvenie Doublewood Scotch or Glenmorangie Original 10 year old. JMO

Yeah I've noticed that as well with the few I've smoked over the years.

If I had to pick one single cigar to smoke for the rest of my life based on price, performance, consistency and availability it would be...

Padron 2000 Maduro, hands down.

If I had to pick one single cigar to smoke for the rest of my life based on price, performance, consistency and availability it would be the My Father Le Bijou 1922.
Or the Tatuaje Reserva Broadleaf.
Possibly the Padron 1926 Series 40th anniversary.
Or even the Diamond Crown Maximus.

Without a doubt…

If I had to smoke one cigar for the rest of my life it would have to be longer than franks third leg and burn really slow since I'm not planning on tapping out of life anytime soon.

That’s a good choice.
I’m down to my last two unopened boxes of those.......they got About 5 years on them now.
Used to be able to snag those at the other place for a GREAT price before MAP pricing.
I actually prefer the 3000 Maduro, but the 2000s were much easier to score for cheap.

I was most CERTAINLY warned about those Gurkha's from Stogie1020! To each their own, I suppose, but I'll never smoke another Gurkha as long as I live.

Good to see you too buddy! I swing by now and then. If I had thought about it, I would have jumped in on the V-herf on Saturday. I had my first cigar since October of 2020 as a birthday gift to myself. A beautiful OSOK Desmadroso that's been chilling in the tupperdor for a couple years.
