    Default Gurkha Cigars

    I recently won a couple of Gurkha's on Cbid. I'm now curious as to the other cigars that Gurkha makes, from looking online and through the CI catalog, it seams like they make a lot of different brands under the Gurkha label. From what I gather, Gurkha makes:
    Boer
    Centurian Double X
    Class Regent
    Doble Maduro
    Expedition Series
    Genghis Khan
    Grand Envoy
    Grand Master
    Legend
    Master's Select
    Platinum
    Grand Reserve
    Regent Nepalese Warrior
    Vintage Series

    Ok, am I missing any from Gurkha? I have decided to try to try them all. Also, has any one else had any of these and can offer their insights on them? (Strong, medium, mild, full flavored, over-priced dog rocket, etc.)

    I have been eyeballing these for quite sometime, but never seem to be lucky enough to win them. I am curious to hear the responses that will be posted....Thanks for asking the question...

    I've had the Master's select (nothing to write home about) and the legend. The legend was a torpedo which I enjoyed the flavor and strength but it had constant burn problems which took away from the enjoyment.

    I've smoked the Doble Maduro, and the Nepalese Warrior. I really enjoyed both of them.
    The Doble Maduro has a tendency towards a flaky wrapper, but it has not been to a degree that has detracted from the enjoyment at all. Full flavor, medium strength.
    The Nepalese Warrior is also full flavor, medium strength.
    Both of these have, as of late, found a recurring role in my rotation.

    I have had the Legend, Double Maduro, Regent, Master Select, and Anchient Warrior. I really enjoyed the Legend, Regent and Anchient Warrior. The Double maduro, while not a bad cigar did not really do it for me. I thought it was a bit dry so that may have been the problem. The Master Select was good but not something I look to get again.

    Also a not on the Ancient Warrior . . . the ones on CBid are completely different that the ones you would get from your local shop. I have heard the CBid are not that great whereas the other is very good.

    Let me know what you think of the Doble maduro. I've been wanting to give them a try. I really enjoyed the Sancho Panza double maduro, and I'm curious if it's any better. I would give the Legend another try, but not while I'm trying to read a book.

    I like the double maduro better than khansotia's triple ligero.

    I suggest not even bothering with boer,expedition,or the vintage series unless you like light cigars.The vintage tasted mega sour.

    I love the Legend,regent,ancient warrior,g3,dbl maduro,ghengis kahn,master select.....almost in that order.

    The 2 bourban infused ones....platinum and grand reserve was tastey if you like that and smokeable.

    The rest I never had.

    I have been gaining an appreciation for these cigars. When I first tried them I wasn't so impressed, but then again, I was only into stronger maduro's at that point. The one's I've had are on the milder side, but they are also very smooth and complex. I like the Expedition now. I did not like it at first. It's a mild cigar, but with complex subtle flavors. The Regent is great! A smooth, dark, medium bodied beauty! I remember the Legend was also good, though I don't remember the specifics of it. The thing I don't like about Gurkha's is the price tag. Full retail for these cigars is simply too high for my tastes. They aren't that good.

    Thanks guys for all your input. I hop to get my package from Cbid early next week, so hopefully I'll have one or two soon there after.
