Ohhhh Gurkha

This makes perfect sense. Gurkha just realized the reason nobody buys their shit is because of the boxes.... It has nothing to do with the dog rockets they make.

Gurkha Royal Challenge Gets New Packaging

The next time you see the Gurkha Royal Challenge on a store shelf, it will likely be wearing new packaging, as the company has announced that it is giving

I always thought is was the fact that they had sat in the gas station for 2 years with every drunk hillbilly fondling it, wondering if they wanted to buy it along with the 12 pack of PBR?

I thought they were okay back around 2010, when picked up on CBid. Made for a good yardgar; at least the Napalease Warriors. But then it seemed like they kept rebranding the same cigar/blend as a whole new line for a different price. It could have just seemed that way to me, but I figured there were better companies to give my money to.

Around 2005, I really enjoyed the Shaggy’s & the Beast. After CBid got their hands on them I know the sizes changed & the blends were different. Here is a picture of the Gurkha humidor I won at the local B&M in a raffle.

Might I add this, because I'm tired of seeing it so much (not you guys.. this is more a PSA).. but Cigars for Warriors is NOT a dumping ground for your Gurkhas.

I'm part of an organization that does a twice a year collection for active service personnel and we get overwhelmed with them. Despite our pleas otherwise.

Friends don't let friends give Gurkhas to our fighting men and women.

And a HUGE thank you to everyone who donates some truly amazing cigars... we appreciate you!!

lol it’s funny you say that. At the RMCF in Denver the first thing I do when I get my grab bag is take out 20+ cigars for the warriors. They always get my Gurkhas also. But that’s only 1-2 of the 20. I suppose my thinking was if the guy who got it isn't a big time cigar smoker then it’ll be a good cigar to them. I appreciate you bringing this up, it’ll make me think about what I give

LMAO!!!! A buddy of mine was on the receiving end of donated cigars. I was about 25 when I was in Iraq and thought Ghurkas were ultra premium because their labels were so cool.

I smoked them back in the day before I had many others. Plus when you buy a box you get a cheap knife, backpack, travel humi, hat, torch lighter, cutter, oh and cigars!

Gurkha should change their mantra!

" Gurkha, the cigar you give your brother-in-law!"

That's actually pretty cool!

I could send you some of these stickers to cover the Gurkha logos and then you might be willing to put it on display?

Thanks, but actually it is really a good looking piece of furniture ( if only the cigar were any good). I think I might try to get to my home in Myrtle Beach this summer.

I will be happy to bring the stickers to MB?

It actually is pretty cool looking!

 

[streetrod]

Great. If you get down here I’m sure I will have some beverage to share with you along with some Gurkha’s
Yes, it is a good looking piece.

Is it functional?

 

[CigarStone]

Is it functional?

That's not a fair question! After all, it is made by Gurkha?

 

[streetrod]

Is it functional?

Yes, actually it works very well. Currently I have approximately 200 to 300 stix in it. At one point it held 600 premium cigars ( no Gurkhas). No problems with the humidification.
Currently I use a Humi Care humidifier in it.

Not made by Gurkha, made for Gurkha. I believe it was made by a furniture company in the Dominican Republic. Here is a better picture of the Humi.

All kidding about Gurkha aside, that is sweet!

I have been here long enough to know when you guys are breaking my balls. If no-one did it to me, I would feel left out.
Thanks for the ‘sweet’ compliment.
