Was its original MSRP $18 but CI had them on a $3.99 special? Lol.

Just messing around. That's usually how I see Gurkhas. I've not familiar with that one though.

Kip, what have you done to me? In the sixteen days since coming back from the relaxed, quiet, and beautiful mountains in the DR, I've only had one cigar (out of about 10-12) that wasn't, at least, a little disappointing. And most of these were cigars that I've had before and enjoyed. When I had a Fuente 8-5-8 Sungrown about a year ago in the forum's blind pass it was wholly awesome and enjoyable. Tonight that cigar was average at best. This is a totally NOT cool situation...

You are growing my son !

Your palate might be going through a renaisance, you may have just found out how much better humidified warm air makes smoking cigars, or you may just be crazy. I personally opt for the latter...

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace. - Raul Julia

Nah. They just taste better here. He's ruined unless he moves to the little latitudes. It happens all the time....I'm living proof.
