Probably 99% of Cigarbid Gurkhas are only recommended to the tight-budget-minded smokers - and I'm not criticizing anyone's budget. There have been a handful I wouldn't mind revisiting, but would have to scour the reviews to find which ones.

But, it's fun to find something new and win it for $1. Can't go wrong dropping a dollar on a tosser - you'll get your money's worth in education.

There's a stigma to Gurkha, and to me, I'd rather know why first-hand, especially on the cheap. Yes, a lot are shit-sticks that are MSRP'd to be on par with Davidoff. Yes, it is a brand you could be OK with in not visiting. Yes, Tony is secretly a Gurkha snob.

Supposedly, Gurkha is "under new management", and with the San Miguel, there is hope for the brand...but I'm not holding mt breath for it!
