So I bought five of these on some review hype and rested them for 4 years. Bought a ten pack off a certain page before I smoked the rested ones with some friends.

What a mistake. Nothing memorable at all.

Any of you guys (tony) have any experience with these? I have ten gurkha in my humi now that I'm not too excited about. Worth another try or let the troops sample them?

hide 'em in the elite box pass.

Lol

I'll trade them straight up for some dip2s

HA!

Tried one from the B&M and it bored the chit out of me. I don't need to revisit

.
I bought one at CI's Allentown superstore not long after they first came out, and I smoked it on the spot in their lounge. It was quite good, a unique and distinctive flavor mix I hadn't experienced before, good construction, good burn. Very nice.

I repeated this a couple months later. Same result. Really nice smoke, great flavor mix, well-behaved.

I was a fan!

Six months later, a pal and I visit the store, and on my recommendation we each bought one and smoked them together in the lounge.

They were both schitt. Crap flavors, schitt construction, crooked burn, many relights, wrappers unravelled. Both of them.

I've had this same experience with Gurkha several times. You never know what you're getting.

That's why I avoid the brand completely. Even their supposedly "good stuff" is a crapshoot, so why risk the money?

Troop cigars.

fixed it for ya!

Never smoked one Gummy. After a 4 year rest and you still don't like them, time to send them elsewhere. A common story for Gurkhas, start out as a great cigar getting good reviews run out of that blend, make more out of a new and inferior blend and sell them until no one will buy them anymore.
