Gurkha Crest?

alienmisprint

I was looking at a deal on the other site, a Gurkha Crest, Gurkha Titan, and a 5er of choice. I was looking at possibly getting 4 of these deals, to give me an entire box of MBIII's. My question is, how is the Gurkha Crest? I do like the Titan quite a bit, haven't tried the Crest and I've read mixed reviews. What say you, BOTLs of the forum?

I like the crest. I cannot remember what exactly it tastes like but I do remember liking it. I have one left and I haven't touched it. I keep wanting to light it up but have used my will power. I too enjoy the Titan 1 and I would say go a head and give this a pull. I mean if you like the Titan I don't see why you wouldn't like the Crest. It's a nice cigar.

i have one buried in the bottom of my aging humidor. for some reason i cant bring myself to smoke it. i have about 18 months on it. ive been disappointed by many of the gurkhas i have had as of late and this is one i have not had before. its a huge cigar and i dont wanna not like it. maybe some day.

yeah... this was supposed to be another one of Gurkha's super high end ones that was originally $20 a stick.

lol, yeah, like any gurkha, it's not worth the "price". Though I might pay 20 for a beauty...

id pay 15 for a centurian but that is the most id pay for any gurkha at this point.

I thought the Crest was a new release, like within the last 6 months or so. I got 2 at Christmas in a sampler then picked up a 10 pack in the Warfare deal. Man I hope I like this thing!

nope... its been out for a while. i think 2009 was the year it came out. they, like most Gurkha cigars, were supposed to be super rare with only 250 boxes being made. i no longer think this is the case. im not sure if the less rare version (the one that you can find online for $35 a five pack) is the same blend as the newer version.

ok ... the Crest came out in April of 2008

i have got to be wrong about this.... the one in my humidor says its from march of 08... damn.

As I'm pretty new to the cigar scene I can't give any kind of in detail review of the Crest, but the one I smoked was ok, but seemed to have a really tight draw. I don't know if this was because of that one cigar, my cut or just how it smokes.

I haven't tried many gurkahs seems like they have an awful lot different kinds but of the ones I've tried the only ones I've liked were the empire series. I had one tasted so bad I threw it out the car window on the 3rd draw.

To me the crest was A big disappointment. Burn issues was the major problem but I felt the flavors were A bit overrated. Seemed to be overly simplistic and drab. Of Course this is only my opinion. Perhaps I received bad cigars. I hope others have A better experience than I did.
