Ok, I have to ask...Who's the guy that looks like he owns a cargo van, and is just itching for the opportunity to, "show you something..."?

No disrespect, but my word that's a creepy look on their face.

I dislike Gurkha cigars because they taste bad.

I despise Gurkha's business model of "style over substance" and I'm appalled that, in a world where there are few remaining locally-owned hardware stores because people prefer to shop in Home Depots, people are choosing Gurkhas over better cigars.

Smoke what you like, blah blah blah...but if it's a Gurkha, you're doing it wrong.

Nope...believe that is a glass-top Cohibo.

That is Stewart (tech-ninja)...and he always looks at me with love in his eyes.

I've actually tried about 20 Ghurkas to try to be fair to the brand. 18 of them were just plain bad. 1 was pretty good, and the Black Dragon Robusto could hold its own with any boutique cigar IMHO. To further add to the annoyance factor, the have 75 different cigars at any point in time. Chances are, if you find one you like, it'll be gone before you know it.

Rocky Patel (lots of crap to work through) and Viaje (I don't have the energy to get one of the 3 boxes for each release) annoy me almost as much.

That's one of the nicest, most giving brothers I've come across with my cigar adventures. He's a blast to be around. Granted he looks a lot better with hair and without so much facial hair. That is a hilarious picture of Stew! He would certainly laugh at your comment - my thoughts are he was going for that look.



And...

My take on Gurkha. They seem to be really proud of something I can't figure out. Reminds me of a peacock with the showy varieties and proud pricing, but in the end, it's a useless bird not fit to eat. Hell, I don't even like the bands. Reminds me of Hitler too much.

Absolutely....made a friend for life within the first 5 minutes of the first time I met him, at MegaMoB I in Chicago.
