Gurkha boer cigars

[mithril]

i've been trying to find info on these cigars and can't seem to find enough information on them. so far all i've been able to find is at cigarinternational.com. but i don't know if they only come in one size style. the cigar i have seems to be the one listed (at 6.5" with a ring gauge of 54) but i'm not sure and i would like feedback on if it is correct. thanks

some where on the board they were discussed a month or two ago. From what I remember they seemed to be a cigar made ONLY for CI and, consequently, C-bid.

ok, then that's probably the size i got too.

I beleive it was Ggiese and I that were commenting on Boers.

When I saw them on CBid I was interested since I am somewhat of a Cameroon fan although not as much as I used to be.

Both Ggiese and I got some from CBid / CInter.

I found the same info and by what I have seen it's obvious that this cigar is made only for CBid / CInter since that is the only place you can get them.

They taste fine. If you like a mild to medium body Cameroon you'll like them. Let them rest a while in the humi before smoking them as I have found that CBid / CInter ships wet (as do most others anyway).

I would recommend using CBid to pay the absolute lowest $$$ for any Gurkha product. Hansotia makes a good cigar.....er......Torano makes many of them......but they aren't worth full MSRP IMHO.

I second that statement about CI shipping wet. I smoked one of the RP Sun Growns i got from them without letting it sit for a week or two and the wrapper was bursting. Cigar was too damn good to waste it so I kept smoking but that was some extreme cracking right down the middle of the wrapper after I lit it. It was minor before lighting but afterwards it busted open like crazy.
