No matter, they're 10 for $7 on cbid or something along those lines. They, along with the Gurkhas and a bunch of 5 Vegas, Petrus Ettiquettes, Magellans, RP Cargos and Leoninos are now fertilizing a landfill somewhere.

This is about half of what was tossed:

The Ghost is the only good one besides the Cellar Reserve. The problem is just the ridiculous MSRP they slap on everything to make them "Premium Cigars"

I don't really care about this topic, just felt like reviving a dead thread ...

🤣 why not? Get some activity going.

Early on in cigars, I had maybe 3 Gurkhas in my humidor. Smoked one, didn't like it and gave the other 2 away at a 4th of July celebration. The recipients didn't die, so all is well.

Wait, did I just start the very first Gurkha Bashing thread on Cigar Bums?

The start of a long-overdue thread for sure.

Wise move Gurkhas are deserving of the "Smoking is bad" label.

I'm doing well,,,, Just have a lot on the plate. Moved three households , mowing about 15 acres of yards each week and keeping up with my own job of maintence at my BIL cabins. Working on a new house for my wife and and just plain going BALD . I haven't had a chance to light a pipe in two years .My tobacco has started talking to me and it aint good.I helped an old boy clear out his shop building , found his dad's pipes tucked in a jar. Three pipes , a KB&B , a Whitehall , and a no-name. Best pay I got for all the other work.
