Gurkha Titan

kcowboy

Hi guys - These have been on order for some time, but I got my shipment (the misbanded ones) in about a week ago.  For this particular batch, has anyone noticed that these do not cut cleanly?  I've been through three of these and while cutting the cap, the wrapper would just fall away from the cigar.  I used two different cutters, so I don't think that's the issue.  Maybe just loosely wrapped?  Maybe it's just mine.  Either way, it was a decent smoke but not too happy about the wrapper as it get stuck to my mouth.

*just read some older reviews (eg Exploding Gurkha..), so maybe it is in the construction.  FWIW I maintain an even 70% in my humi.

Sorry to be misleading. Not really bashing.  I've smoked several of their cigars and they're all good sticks. Crest being my favorite. I'm just curious if anyone else is having the wrapper issues with this particular batch (recent misbanded Titans).

Thanks for the tip, King.  I shall try dryboxing regardless.

Here I am. Just read any reviews of any Gurkhas on any of the big review sites... They speak for themselves.

I enjoyed Titan 1. I have that problem with Gurkhas as well. Very frustrating and they puff poorly after that. Even with great prices, I have decided to avoid them. Not worth the frustration.

I had a Gurkha Titan out on the golf course one afternoon and thought it was a pretty good smoke. Of course, I played like sh*t, so I blamed that on the Gurkha, naturally.

i have recently recieved a few titans in samplers, how can you tell if they are the misbanded ones? are the bands different from a titan of past months/years?

I'm split on the gurkha's some I thought were real good while I've had some that tasted like goats ass. I just feel they have too many different varieties. But as for the wrapper problem are they single cap? Maybe your cutting off too much.
