Hey to all,
My first post. I've been enjoying various Churchill cigars over the last year or so. Overruns, clearance and specials.
My favorite so far has been the Gurkha overrun 7x50 habano. I just took a chance on the Gurkha black beauty's 6.5 x 56 for something different.
Two smoked of a mazo and I regret not going back to the habanos.
I hope they improve in the humi.
Great value not much satisfaction.
Thoughts from the forum?

Welcome aboard! My only thought is 'that's a Gurkha.' My other thought is you need to expand your horizons. If you like habano wrappers, the San Lotano Habano immediately comes to mind, as well as the Man o War Ruination and the Flor de las Antillas.Johnny O:Hey to all,

Welcome. Try the new PDR Small Batch Habano. Really good smoke and a good price point as well.

Most people on this forum aren't fans of Gurkhas. Including me. So you won't get any good reviews on them. Try other lines and see what you may like. I say go for Oliva. Try the different blends and see what works for you.

Hey folks,
Just an update. I may have been a little too quick on my first impression of these cigars.
With some time in the humidor and learning what they like. The first few I smoked I used a punch and the wrapper would crack in strange ways. Then I started using a cutter and licking the wrapper down. They have performed well. I don't know if it's kosher, but it has worked for me. They are better than I thought.

we all know my opinion on gurkhas...
so
my advice, if you want to try something different, is to get away from that brand. there are so many options out there and sticking with one brand will seriously limit your options. plus the inconsistency that is Gurkha leaves me wanting more. -
Quite a few of us don't like gurkhas. Since you like habanos you should try:
MoW Ruination
Cain F
Gran Habano

Hahaha gurhka ugh no your lucky they all didn't blow up! As in terms of bad taste yup gurhka lol in terms of aging them IMO taking up space for actually good smokes!! I know they went to pdr's factory but my thoughts on pdr is eh so to each their own
