Thanks laker. yeah, I really enjoyed it. I bought a bunch of Gurkhas thru the sampler here and i found I only liked about half. the other half were just a little too distinct in ways that aren't always good. this is now my favorite connecticut wrapper stick out there. better than the RP in my opinion. you could hand this out to any smoker and they would like it.

I like the Park Avenue and was surprised by it. I am a huge Gurkha fan anyways but with a cheap $2 stick you don't expect too much. For the price it could be an everyday cigar. Nice mini review.

I enjoyed the park Avenue for what it is. Being a very mild cigar, it has a place as a good morning cigar. I like the fact that it is just straightforward, none of the ridiculous marketing that comes with other Gurkha cigars, and the price is right, it's a no frills cigar for a no frills price.

I had my doubts about the Park Avenue when I first saw it. I didn't enjoy the Gurkha Sherpa, which was another budget Gurkha and I thought that the Park Avenue would follow in the same vein. I'm glad that I was proved wrong. The stick had superior construction and for a mild cigar had great flavor. And for the price, it's definitely a candidate as a "go-to" smoke.

Great review, spot on! I had the same results and it's one of a very few milds I really like!

The Park Avenue was a good value but a little tame for my tastes. Nicely made sticks.

I think I have had this cigar but can't remember, so either I didn't like it or it was too mild. Glad you liked it though, gurkha does have some good cigars.

yeah, I like the legend and the gold. the regent and grand envoy are just okay but this was like "wow, what a good connecticut". I 'm not a big connie fan so for me to like it is a big deal. you may want to try another that's rested a while.

I wasn't a fan of the regent and grand envoy either. I do like the legend. Have you had the Turk? It's a pretty good creamy smoke. I would say I like it more than the 5 vegas gold if you've had that.

I will say that for someone who hates Gurkha, I liked the Turk. The quote in my signature is what J0zer said about the Turk.

I just smoked one that was sent to me in a bomb thanks to jsnake and wow...what a surprise! I usually enjoy milds but I'm not a Gurkha fan. I've had so much bad luck with them and I'm happy to say that this stick really is an asset to the Gurkha line. Excellent cigar!

I would rather pay twice the MSRP for a Park Ave. than half price for most other Gurkhas

I had the Churchill yesterday and it was good smoke. A nice nutty flavor with tons of smoke, and a great draw. I think the name and label are silly, but the price is right. Good stick, I like this one.

It's an AJ Fernandez stick.
