I got some off of C-Bid awhile back. This was the first Gurkha I've had that I didn't like. I enjoy stronger cigars, but this seemed to be just plain harsh. A couple of guys I was smoking with that night had one also and they were of the same opinion. We all put them down before we were half way done. I will give them another try sometime.

hmm its hard to keep up with the amount of gurkha stuff that comes out, I havent had this but as said, it dose look intresting. Wish a local shop had one to try.

I think it’s just the costa Rican version of the G3/K Hansotia triple ligero, which use a Brazilian wrapper.

I've only had one, about three days ago. I threw in a single with my last cigarsintl. order, and I liked it. I didn't think it was harsh at all, strong, yes, but not harsh IMHO. I'll buy more in the future. If you want some, that is a good price, but the size it a bit bigger then what I like. I thought it was a nice cigar, but keep in mind I've only had one, and maybe I got a good one, but I liked it.

I have a few in the humi, but haven't smoked one. I know someone who has though, and he said they are weak.

I have, however, heard great things about the Gurkha Estate. I have a few in the humi as well....they are shaggy foots.

Many of the fuerte cigars lack flavor or complexity. Upmann makes one I like and, of course, IT SF Toro Mads.
