Gurkha Spec Ops

Anyone tried one of these yet? I really want that set, but Gurkha is so hit and miss for me I hate to chance the buy and hate the sticks.

Pheebs is a bit of a Gurkha guru, if anyone has tried them he probably has.

The 2 singles I tried made me not want a box. But if you get a box you get a cool knife.

Exactly, cool knife. And coin. And a damn Pelican case travel humidor. I doubt it is actually pelican, but a pelican case that size, along with that knife (assuming it is a good quality knife) would cost at least $150. I wonder if anyone would be interested in an unsual box split.....they get the cigars, I get the box and swag, lol.

I got the case, knife, sheath, coin, and cigars. I sold off 15 of the cigars and have 5 resting since I got them last year. Haven't had 1 yet but I will here soon and post a review on it. It is on my list for the month.

I honestly couldn't recommend that cigar. It was very unimpressive to me, but as far as that goes quite representative of Gurkha as a whole...that is to say, fancy packaging with not much substance; "a $5 cigar in a $50 box" as the guy who runs the B&M I go to refers to them.

Bip has this same package. The case is missing only one thing and that is the guarantee. I've seen his knife and it looks well constructed. He liked the smokes from what I recall. Maybe he'd be up for a split.

I've tried a few of the newer gurkha's and I haven't been impressed. I moved on from them for the most part. I do like a few blends, though I have stocked up on them pretty heavily over the years.
