I was sitting in Rahul's shpo today when a guy, new to cigars, came in and was looking for some cigars.

He said that he had tried a Gurkha and liked it. I told him that he was in luck because Rahul carries about 1,000 cigars better than Gurkhas. He bought a couple more of them anyway but I did talk him into getting a JDN Antano 1970 since he wanted something strong.

While I agree with my fellow gents, I would also suggest looking at the Gurkha website. What they have listed is what is currently an actual Gurkha... Everything else is just a toy.. Err... Wait wrong product.
Everything else is likely a cigar which has nothing to do with the original blend and is licensed to a company to produce and sell as a "gurkha"

I've found that most gurkhas on this site are not "real" gurkhas. Lately, however, I've seen Seduction, cellar reserve, and 125th anny which are current lines.

I've also noticed that most of the current production gurkhas are found in most better known B&M's. The Ghost is one that comes to mind which can only be found in stores. I'll add that the ghost is a damn good smoke, as gurkhas go.

Only Gurkha I've ever had of any count was the Master Select, which, unfortunately, are being discontinued.

Gurkha makes some of the best cigars in the world and I love hearing people bad mouth them. I'm not telling which are the really good ones or where to get them as I'm afraid the prices will go up.
I've not experienced any more wrapper issues than with any other brand, and rather have noticed that Gurkhas actually hold an ash about as well as any other brand.

Gurkhas are great for MULCH around flowers. Other than that. They are Horrible.

Please explain this to me. If they are not 'actual' Gurkhas, what are they? What exactly are you implying here? Counterfeit cigars?

Wanna sell a decent Gurkha? Bring back the TPB - 1. Or tell me which AJ smoke is closest because that WAS an AJ smoke....NOT a Gurkha.

Never rocked a TPB - 1, but I did just snag a mazo of "Gurkha" San Miguels, which the internet rumour mill says are an AJF blend that got axed due some some copyright BS and were gathering dust. No mention or reference of Gurkha on the band or anything, just image and "San Miguel". I'll let you know if they are delicious. I sucker bought them on impulse since I was already going to be paying shipping on something. For under $2 a pop, though, I am willing to gamble on an AJ blend. There's always fishing, where I end up having to huck my cigar on a fairly regular basis. Catfish and gar certainly aren't fooling around or waiting for you to gently rest your smoke on a ledge. When they've taken a lil' humidor nap, I'll fire one up and keep you guys apprised.
