    I know it's lower on the scale, and relatively new, but what did you guys think about the Turk? I have a friend who liked it and so I bought the 6 for $20 deal. I'd just like to know what to expect.

    Great! I'm holding off on higher end smokes for bit. I'm buying a couple higher end gurkhas to age, but it'll be a while until I smoke them.

    The only Ghurka's I have ever had was about 1 1/2 -2 years ago. They were in a gray tin had 5-6 smokes in there and were good-not great-but good. I can't remember what they were though I'm sure the B&M still has them.

    Maybe they should be the 'Rolls Royce' of marketing.

    I have a few Triple Ligeros. Never had the G3. From the pictures I have seen, the G3 has a much darker maduro wrapper than the Triple Ligero. Also, I believe the Triple Ligero has a Brazilian wrapper and the G3 has a Nicaraguan Wrapper.

    My Gurkha experience is about to expand a lot. Now, I've had a lot of different ones: Centurion, Platinum, Royal Salute, Grand Reserve, Grand Envoy, Corniche, Legend, Black Dragon, Master's Select, Regent, Nepalese Warrior, Royal Brigade, Sherpa, Triple Ligero, Turk, Shaggy Maduro and Natural, Ancient Warrior, Crest, Titan, Titan II, Beast, Beauty, Warlord and Grand Age from what I can remember off the top of my head. I just ordered a few 5 packs of Black Puro, Doble Maduro, Fuerte, Gold, Signature 101 Maduro and Symphony. I want to try the Signature 1887 soon too. I think I'll wait till next month to get a few of those. My cigar bill this month is over $810

    I think I have all of those minus the titan 2 and master's select and the legend. Other than that I've got several to try. I enjoyed the shaggy, the corniche, platinum, royal reserve, beast and beauty. So pretty much all I've liked to this point. You'll have to give a comment on that crest when you smoke it, I ordered 2 but it's going to be a while till I get too it.

    I smoked it already. I need to have another one, but I only have one left. It was strong but wasn't bad. The thing that made it less enjoyable was that I think I cut to much off the torpedo and the draw was way to easy. That was the worst part for me.

    I had a Genghis Khan presidente tonight, that was among the better Gurkhas I've had. A very tasty, very long smoke.

    A work associate I see a couple times a month is always ranting about the ghurka ancient warrior-claims he smokes only ghurka's now, reading the reviews they sound good but a good ad man could make you want the chits....to do or not to do.....
