I've never had a good Gurkha, I've had some ok ones though. I've also never smoked a Ghost FWIW.
For a sub $12 cigar I'll smoke a Caldwell Long Live the King or a Blind Mans Bluff. Never been disappointed with a Caldwell. |

1% of the cost is making the cigar and 99% in marketing.

I wouldn't buy them. I'd smoke one if it was a gift, but I'd never pay for one. Got a sampler from CI a fewyears back and really didn't like any of them.
My favorites at the moment is Ramon Beuso "Genesis The Project". |

sure, you have money to spare, and choose to spend it on the finer things in life.
but you still sound like a jackass talking about which whiskeys and cigars you prefer. maybe someone should send some my way so I can compare. |

Not a big fan.
I'd recommend any padron (especially the 1964 line) or an EP Carrilo La Historia or Encore. If you want something light, try a Perdomo Champagne. |

Whether you approve or not, is up to you. I would offer this bit of advice: Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. |

I tend to stick to more boutique brands these days. Crowned Heads, Foundation Cigar co, Warped, etc...
Have a look at some of the samplers on smallbatchcigar.com |

I had two five packs. The first pack, 2 burned good, the other 3 were plugged. The second pack, 2 were plugged and 2 had pencil eracer size voids, and 1 burned well. Flavor was ok.

Inconsistent and overpriced. The ‘warrior’ line isn’t bad if you catch them cheap enough but the special edition stuff is a waste.

Gurkha has a few good labels that I like: Ghost, Rogue, Wicked Indie, Red Witch. Most of the rest of everything else I've tried hasn't been remarkable enough to make me want to smoke another.

There actually is quite a bit of difference in the flavor and strength of cigars. Sounds like you’ve only ever smoked a few cheap ones. The shitty taste in those can all run together. Quote HistoryQuoted:
