Wonder if they have ever sold one at any of their companies.

I'm sure somebody buys this crap. Someone with more money than sense will buy just for bragging rights to say they smoked a $400 cigar.

I'm in for the challenge too. Gurkha does make some good cigars, but the bulk are mediocre and a few are just awful. I've probably smoked 40 or 50 different varieties and yet to have one explode. A lot of smokers just hate them.

I had never tried Gurkha and then i read that the 125th got a high score from CA mag.....so when i saw it pretty reasonably priced I bought one and said OK....not bad but........maybe I don't have a sophisticated enough palate......I've had no inspiration to try again.

Someone gave me a beast to try but I haven't got around to it because it is such a large honker, the opportunity to burn through something that big hasn't presented itself. Now that i have seen an LFD lunatic it doesnt look that big anymore....I'll have to fire it up.

I agree in general with Tony about Gurkha cigars. What I dislike is their marketing. No one else markets their cigars like this.

I could get a whole box of Coro for less... and have money for beer.

I see that nobody, even the noobs, have bitten on this one. People are either getting smarter or nobody is biting at the copywriting. Probably a POS anyway.

I've got a friend that smokes a lot of Gurkha's. Usually a I supply the smokes when we get together. Every now and then I'll smoke one of his to be polite. Afterwards, I curse myself for it. They all seem to have that "special" taste and IIRC the wrapper and sometimes the binder split on every one of them I smoked. In Gurkha's defense, he does store his smokes at 70%.

Yes....as do we all. It's to what degree that we differ, yours seems to be stuck in your adolescent stage. In all fairness, I adhere to the " smoke what you like and like what you smoke " mantra. 🍺
