Must have been paying for that hand-carved camel bone, because today the Black Dragon can be had (depending on vitola) for between $ 7.50 (robusto) to $ 17.50 (tubo).

But by creating 5 boxes that cost them a grand total of about $400, they got the entire cigar world to talk about them.

That's advertising you can't pay for.

I don't hate Ghurka, much like, for example Harley Davidson. Most of it lies in marketing strategies. Hype the name to sell an "OK" product to people that don't know any better.

Would I pay $15000+ for a HD? Hell no. Bigger, better, cheaper out there.
Would I pay $3000 for a HD? Sure.

Would I pay $15+ for a Ghurka? Hell no. Bigger, better, cheaper out there.
Would I pay $3 for a Ghurka? Sure.

I tried "Cask Strength" and "Crest", liked them. They were okay.

You ride what you like, you smoke what you like, you do what you like! DC sends love, stop arguing
