Love the Gurkhas

tpgoat

I just wanted to say that I have been smoking cigars for a little over a year now.  Last christmas I bought the super premium cigar sampler with the Gurkhas and Graycliffs.  I am now a die hard Gurkha fan.  I haven't smoked a Gurkha that I diden't enjoy.  There is just something about the full flavor and rich smoke that I haven't been able to match with a different brand yet.  If you haven't wanted to spend the money on a really good cigar, I suggest that you do for these.  Also it seems that there are good sampler deals here at Cigar.com all the time.

Hey tpgoat.. welcome to the forum.. Yeah I like alot of the Gurkha stuff from the two buck sherpas, to the higher end Titan, Beauties and Beast..I do take advantage of the sampler deals and you should join the cigar of the month club because the first month is a gurkha sampler that you can not miss..

but its not for an argument. its purely to find out if this is a theme throughout the cigar world. you know, like in the cigarette world it would be camel vs. marlboro. (both an abomination to tobacco but you know what im sayin)

Are the Gurkhas like RPs. I have had the acouple of the RPs but no Gurkhas. I just ordered Friday's special and the Gurkha special they had in the check-out. So I will be getting some Gurkha Titans and Turks when I get home in a few weeks. What am I in for here? If its anything like the RP Vin 92 or the Edge then I will be pleased.

they are alike in the same way that Bass Ale and Blue Moon are the same. Both good. both beer. Gurkha And Rocky Patel are both Good -and both cigars. you can tell that the blenders for each have a different way of looking at things. it just seems that those who like one tend to shy away from the other. Personally i like gurkha. other around here like Rocky Patel. a few like both. nobody likes neither.

The B&M I hang out at has a lot of old timers that hang out up there. They all like different stuff I guess. Of the few I've talked to extensively one, aside from ISOMs, smokes mostly Davidoffs. THe other is a Padron guy, nothing but Padron and occasionally a ISOM Montecristo. Both of these guys hate Gurkha and one said RP has one or two ok sticks, the other said Rocky was a salesman not a tobacco man.

So I probably won't like the Gurkhas. Are these better after resting/ageing for a longer time. If I don't like them someone my get a nice pass. Either way, smoke and learn, thats part of the smoking experiance.

I have only had a couple of the RP cigars, and I wasen't super impressed.  I had a 1992 vintage box pressed most recently, and found the flavor a lttle overwhelming.  Not bad, just to much for me at the time.  I hear lots of good things about them and am still willing to give them another try.  Any suggestions?

My wife was in Cinci last week, which means I have to endure her talking about Skyline for the next month. I went to Miami, and was one of the only people to have graduated from that scool without ever trying Skyline. I've had Cincy-style chili a couple times since college, and I just couldn't stand it. Although I don't believe I've ever had Skyline.

P.S. Northerners can't make chili! Just like you can't make BBQ, well actually no one outside of NC and Southern VA knows how to make real pork BBQ. Can I get an Amen!

I beg to differ my friend I make a killer mustard sauce and a vingar finishing sauce for pulled pork, also the brisket will simply melt in your mouth....I have to admit that my forte is BBQ low and slow and smoke most every weekend, should see the look on these Okies face when they try the mustard sauce and finishing sauce....simply finger licking good!!

LOL I'm just getting a little smack talking going. A mustard sauce actually sounds quite good. Have you ever been blessed with the oppurtunity to try N.C. Style BBQ?

i never said cincinnati chilli was the best. I never said I made good chilli. I just sayin cincinnati chilli is an aquired taste. most likely you gotta grow up there to like it.
