Has anyone else smoked these? I snagged 10 of these on Cbid Jan27,2014 for $16. I then proceeded to store these in a cedar cigar box in a monster coolerdor, and forgot about them until a week ago. Am smoking the second one now.
The full sized Beasts that I've won for $2-3 each( 5 packs) pale in comparison to these in flavor and strength. I know that GURKHA is not a beloved marque to most on this forum, however, I hope someone knows where these can be found now. I can't find anyone who is selling these.

these r actually illusione rothschilds... someone was supposed to reband some ron mexicos with gurkha bands and they accidentally grabbed the illusiones instead...

I didn't even know they made that size. I enjoy the Beast line. Even if you find them anywhere else, the MSRP is probably absurdly ridiculous.

I really hope you are trolling. If not, what a score! Haven't had a bad illusione yet, and to get them at internet Gurkha pricing =p~

The first Illusone I ever smoked (some time ago) left a really foul taste in my mouth. I have smoked them from time-to-time and, except for that first one, I really liked them. A bit too rich for my taste on a regular basis however. Padrons and Illusiones are on my permanent "wish list." 🇨🇮

As one of the few here that like (some) Gurkha's, I have yet to smoke a beast of any size. It is interesting that different sizes and shapes of the same cigar are so different in taste. To be sure as to what the Rothchild Beast is, send one to Opelmanta. He doesn't smoke cigars, he just dissects them.
