Bought a Gurkha Ghost Angel en Tubos yesterday at the B&M. Smells strong as hell. Haven't got around to trying it yet.

Was wondering what anyone else thought of em.

BTW- it will the be first gurkha I've smoked in about 2 years.

heh heh............

I remember when you loved the fact that everyone bashed Gurkhas here, cause then you could pick them up "cheap"..............

I still like the original Titan (when it burns properly) and the Centurian is a decent morning smoke when it has some time on it.....like a year or so.......

but, have not bought a Gurkha in a loooong time

Those were the days... but it seems like almost a year to the day that I started smoking cigars I began to realize that every gurkha I got from here tasted just like the last gurkha i got from here and didn't enjoy...

but my dad-in-law says he's never met a Gurkha he didn't like, so I still buy them for him on occasion... so stay away noobs... or at least don't bid more than $1 for them...

when I was very young and very naive I took everbody at their word and believed nearly everything I was told, and in so doing missed out on what may have been some great learning experiences...

when I got a little older and thought I was a lot wiser I wanted to figure everything out for myself, and in so doing I brought on myself unneccesary suffering...

part of the great challenge of life is deciding which things you should take other peoples word on and which things you should figure out for yourself...

I guess what I'm trying to say is don't buy Gurkha's on cbid...

I love hummus, Lefty!! 🤤

But not dem Gurkhas.. (at least the ones I've tried) :-&

YOU PAY FULL RETAIL FOR GURKHAS?????????

what da???????

I thought it was your duty to "know the brand" - which means......smoke one of each Gurkha made.

slacker.........

I know I know. So many cigars so little time![frypan]

You're payed to smoke cigars.... What more could they ask of you? Gotta do it for the clientele

Well dang, if Abe Flores blended it, I'm going to have to bite the bullet and (gasp) try one.

I tried a Ghost after having a friend recommend it. Since then, I have smoked about a half-dozen of these as I really enjoy them. The only 3 sizes I have tried are the Shadow (5x52), Asura (6x52) and the Exorcist (6x60). Normally, I enjoy the larger ring sizes but I found the Asura was the better of the smokes. With the exception of one Exorcist, the construction is spot on, the draw is darn near perfect, and the flavors are great. I especially enjoy the fullness/heaviness in the last 3rd of the cigar. It has a long finish and a heck of a nic punch. Oddly enough, I found it more noticeable on the Asura than the Exorcist. Gurkha has a hit with this one...which is why we will never find it on-line. I did a full review on my personal blog....
