Gurkha

Class Regent Robusto and Shaggy Lancero are the two that were smokeable with at least three months rest. Six is better...

Oooh I remember the Shaggy. Really decent smoke...

I had the same experience as @bluenoser with the viper. Worst smoke ever.

Heck I heard you need to age Cubans for 5 years before they're ready to go. If you only have to age a Gurkha for 1+ years for it to hit it's prime that's another point for Gurkha baby!

DogRockets sent me a Black Ops. I suppose I'll find out soon. It sounds promising enough.

I don't care much for oddball brand names and have generally passed on those. Ghurka is one of those that sounds far away from a quality cigar. I prefer a name that reminds me to roll my R's.

*EDIT*

AlanS sent me the Black Ops, which I liked. I thought it seemed odd saying DogRockets had sent it and so I went and looked. Sure enough I misspoke. DogRockets did send me a Ghurka though, which is a moduro Titan.

And so it seems as though I like Ghurka so far.

So it sounds like going down the Gurkha path will have quite a few ok options, and almost as many bad sticks.

Should be interesting. I might just stick to picking a few up here and there to fill out cbid orders then.

That's basically what I do.
I was on C-Bid picking up a few 5ers the other day and saw the Status maduros. The time was almost up and I snagged a couple for $2 a stick. Hell for 2 bucks I'll give the a try.

Smoking a Ghurka Titan that DogRockets sent me to try. Though a bit for my small frame (I feel like his avatar!) it's a nice smoke. I'm certainly enjoying it!

*EDIT*

I used my larger punch from Montecristo on this one being a large ring cigar, and I must say this thing is pretty smoky.

For two bucks I'd try just about any cigar. I've blown more on worse decisions.

Cellar Reserve got me... I adore that stick... that and the Factum

If you want to see a smokey Gurkha, light up one of those Shaggy Foot lanceros. It's the only cigar I've ever seen produce smoke like a Liga #9. Every time I've smoked one, the damn fire department shows up because somebody called them thinking the back deck was on fire....
