I think they’re brothers ole Rocky & Gurkha and most of their offerings taste like a rolled up news paper, a very one dimensional poorly constructed one at that. They’re not for me just not in my wheelhouse. If I had to have one or the other Rocky has had a few I enjoyed recently and in the past the ALR today was a very good cigar. The Decade is one I used to have occasionally. Smoke what you like, like what you smoke!
