Meh. A not particularly good, but not utterly terrible, yardgar.

They landed in the CA top 25 a while back, and they're now inexpensive, so I thought I would try them. I figured there must have been something there at one point. How much would they let a blend slide? Enough.

Same w the Gurkha 125 year anni. I figured that because it is the only Gurkha to make the list, they would want to at least maintain the blend, use it to build on. Improve. Nope. The one I smoked was the worst Gurkha I have smoked. (If that tells you anything.)

I find it somewhat suspicious that EP Carrillo has been making regular appearances at the top of CA's list, and among the ones I've smoked, none seemed worthy...

when I'm looking to try a new cigar, besides getting a recommendation from botl here, I like to check a cigar's bonafides by seeing at least three recognized reviewers scoring it highly...

and even then, I will buy a 5er first, before going all in on a box
