Gurkha Park Avenue... actually a really good smoke even tho lots of people like to dog on Gurkha.

If you found a good Gurkha, stick to it ?

The problems I have with Gurkha are

1. They have a LOT of cigars
2. With no indicator on quality and many to choose from, most of which are bad, so the experience is disappointing most of the time

Only good Gurkha I smoked was picked up for me by a tobacconist and I later learned it is a discontinued stick ?

So far all 3 Gurkha I have tried have been decent for me.

Park Avenue

Maybe their more full-flavored offerings are worse, I don’t know ?‍♂️

A 2003 Hoyo des Dieux - stick with a good sprinkling of plume.
With a A.E. Dor No. 8. Nice rancio on nose and palateView attachment 77997
An excellent smoke from an aged cabinet of 50, bought some years ago from Switzerland. White ash all the way, with an almost razor sharp burn line. When the Cubans get it right, it is a sublime experience. A pity they are so often hit-and miss..

Graycliff G2. This thing is actually really really good. Flavor profile to me tastes like a mix between Ashton and Fuente. Draw is like butter. They’re cheap, too.

Tried to smoke a cimarron yesterday and the thing was hopelessly plugged. Hoping the other 4 have a better draw.
