Does anyone have any info on these Gurkha G3's that are JR's weekly special? I can't find info on them. I wonder if they are a custom made thing for a particular retailer? Gurkha's website doesn't seem to mention them. They are in a nifty looking case though.

Anyone know anything about them?
 
I don't know of any US retailer that has them but I have seen them advertised in Iceland or Finland, I forget which. They were about $140 a box.
 
got the CI weekly special today, centurions for a sweet price. :p
 
I'd like to know if they come in that nice leather box they have pictured or not.

*edit* Ok they do come in the box, but it looks like it can hold alot more than 20 cigars. ???

The maduros are sexy looking...

I'd pull the trigger but I refuse to spend 100 dollars on cigars I've never tasted before.
 
I just got my email about that JR special. I'm in!! I love Gurkhas!!! and Maduro is my favorite style of wrapper!! :thumbs:

I'd be willing to trade you for the extra 4 PT, I'd love to try them, but like I said I'm not willing to put out so much cash for something I've never heard of before.

PM me if your interested, remember I can get just about anything over here.
 
There's a single review for the G3 on top25cigar.com

The guy gave it a 9.33

But again...only one review.
I was going to place the order, but like Wurm says, I can't justify $100 to try out something that *might* be my style. Sure do like that box though....would go great in my empty box collection.
 
Sure thing Wurm,
PM sent. :)

So is anybody actually gonna buy some of these and sell me a fiver?
 
I ordered a box, I wouldn’t mind trading some off or handing out a few donations, i also have the CI deal's Gurkha Centurian XX Coming. I've honestly never had a bad Gurkha, so if anyone else wants to try let me know.
 
I'll take you up on that. LMK when they come in. Thanks! :thumbs:

I'm almost afraid to try them.. then I'd be stuck craving another really pricy cigar... :laugh:
 
Well I got my box in sat, paid extra for shipping. My initial thought of this cigar was it was a hidden Gurkha gem, something to rival that of the expeditions I had just purchased. To say the least, these did surprise me. To be honest with you all, these carry the Gurkha name but I don’t believe them to be a K.Hansotia cigar. It’s more reminiscent of what someone had mentioned earlier, a more European style smoke. The density of the smoke its self was very thin almost that of a cigarette, It had a good taste nice spice to start with, with other subtle flavors carrying through and its easily a finger burner if you can get over the initial shock of what it really is. It’s a premium none the less and with some ageing will be a gem and a half but I thought id inform everyone on what to expect and what not too. To me after finishing the whole stick I was very pleased with the price I had paid for these. I’ll leave the real critiquing to someone with more a seasoned taste.

Thanks for the heads up as well as sharing your experience with teh G3's with us. Now I'm really stumpted although I think will pass on this expedition.
