I'm going through a Gurkha sampler that a friend of mine put together for me after I bitched about how there were just too many Gurkhas to be bothered trying to figure out which ones I liked. So far, my favorite is the Nepalese Warrior, which isn't on the poll.
Interesting, I hadn't had these but ordered 20 sticks recently; Good to know they are good.
Sorry not in poll, limited to 12 choices. Nepalese Warrior didnt seem as popular as others...
The one I smoked had really nice flavor. Creamy and smooth, with what seemed like a coffee-ish taste. The sample that I had was rolled too tightly, so the draw was harder than I would have liked. Not plugged in just one spot, the whole stick was rolled really tightly. However, it was smokable, and I don't know if that was just a problem with that one stick or whether that is a characteristic of them. Produced a nice, firm piece of ash, too! :bouncetau
Had a legend last night. Not bad, a little on the mild side for me but over all very good. Had a few burn problems in the center of cigar but nothing to bitch over. Based only on one cigar of the legend series I still like the regents more. But that is just IMHO

LOL No prob, it's on the way! :thumbsup:
I love many Gurkhas. I have a few favorites, because of the variety of blands... it's apples to oranges in comparison. The X-Fuerte has a soooo smooth 1996 Costa Rican Maduro wrapper. It is really smooth, but has some serious body. The Legend has an awesome Maduro wrapper and Cameroon binder with like 8 years aging, that is awesome too.. very unique! The 2 others that are among my fav's are the Centurian XX and the Gold Edition. I don't know anyone else who tried the Gold yet, but if you haven't tried the Gold Ed., it has a kind of sweet caramel-cedary-ish flavor, with maybe earthy-leathery taste. It's different from any cigar I have tasted, but damn good! I was told it has a Colorado wrapper? Not sure, but it's found a place in my top Gurkha's!
My absolute favorites are the Legend(toro) & the Grand Age(churchill). The Genghis Khan(toro) & the G3 in the evening are also great IMO. I also like the Symphony as a morning smoke. There are some other good ones as well, but we're only naming favorites here.
The poll needs to be updated to include their most recently released fronts.
I think the Black Dragon, the G5, and the Status are excellent smokes as well.

Tampahumidor has the robusto for $5 per stick and they ship singles for free.

I voted for the Master Select, but there are many that rock, Centurion XX, Grand Age and Legend to name a few. I also, had this masive pimp stick dos capos barbor pole that would have been to mild if it hadn't lasted over two hours. They have some great stuff!
