Well, there are two types of Rolls Royces:

1.) Actual Gurkha's--prohibitively expensive for the quality you're actually getting. You could buy FAR better for FAR cheaper.

2.) "Gurkha's"--advertised as "Save 75% off MSRP!" AKA, if you're paying $40 for twenty Gurkha's...they're not *actual* Gurkha's.

As a rule, I would steer clear of them.

Gurkha are pure hype. I think I've only had one Gurkha I liked.

Well, to buy "actual" Gurkha's is more expensive than 90% of the Cuban cigars out there.

Buy what you want, but don't be surprised if your major score ends up a dog rocket. 👻

Small Batch TPB-1 excellent but impossible to find now

Original release of Ganghis Kahn and Blue Steele AWESOME.

Just to be slightly objective (yeah, around here....) what price point do you normally smoke? Lots of equally good or better 2-3 dollar cbid cigars, but if you find a Gurkha you like knowing what you get on CI or CBid isn't the way expensive stuff all the previous posters mention at 75% discount.

But you can get lots of solid smokes like MoW, 5V, etc for about as low a price if that's what you smoke, or much better smokes (CAO, AF, AB on and on).

But what do I know, I'm a cheap azz n00b that honestly likes Flor Del Doo Doos as much as most CI/Cbid Gurkhas I've smoked.

I agree and funny enough, they say Gurkha but those are made in a completely different factory as well as the cellar reserve

royal challenge, cellar reserve, and seduction are all good (the seduction especially after a six month rest, not so good without it)...

all 3 were here for a week or two but probably didn't get the dollar they were looking for and haven't seen them since...

I use to really like the evil... haven't had one in a while and probably not worth whatever ridiculous price they're going for here right now...
