    none, i have tried so many to find a decent one for my taste, and have yet to come accross one
    Titan/Beast/triple ligero/dragonfire/red-green dragon? These are some of my favorites. The beauty is nice too for a lighter smoke. The royal/platinum reserves are nice, as is the corniche and marquaza.

    I've only had a few Gurkhas so far but so far my favorite has been the Legend. I have a Titan, Titan II, Beast and Beauty all waiting in the Humi though. Really enjoying exploring the Gurkha lineup, as well as the CAO lineup.

    Park Avenue, TPB-1, Signature Maduro, and Triple Ligero, in that order.

    As weird as it sounds, I am going to have to go Titan II and also Cuban Legacy! Got both ends of the spectrum covered nicely with those two I think. LOL

    cuban legacy is pretty good for the price...i love Blue Steel, Red label(dont kow which one), Titan 2, Black Dragon Tubo, TBD-1, Park Avenue, and a lot of others cant remember

    Only have had 2, the Park Avenue and Empire Series VI. Both great, but really enjoyed the VI

    Gotta go with the Symphony and then the Micro-batch c-10.  Both mild smokes, but great tasting sticks on the lighter side of the spectrum.  Both are connies with buttery taste which I love

    Black Dragon Robusto & Legend Perfecto

    I Love the Triple Ligero as well as the Signature '101'. Currently smoking the Empire I and Empire VI's which I also love. Only Gurkha I've come across not to really like was the Park Avenue.

    Really??? I just had a Park Avenue and loved it!! For the price, I could see that becoming one of my go-to anytime don't-really-know-what-I'm-in-the-mood-for sticks.

    Really dug the MicroBatch C-10.. but my favorite Gurkha would be the Gurkha Legend Vulcan Perfecto, deeeelicious

    I wanna throw out a plug for the Gurkha evil. Only found it in b&m's though. Great smoke!

    I haven't had a Gurkha I didn't like, but the stand outs for me are the Centurian,
    and the Symphony. Amazing smoking experiences.

  • cabinetmakercabinetmaker Posts: 2,560 ✭✭
    Centurian, microbatch S-2, symphony.
  • wwhwangwwhwang Posts: 2,878 ✭✭✭
    For some reason, I've only smoked the Turk (I need to get more). I have the Sherpa Cafe, Park Avenue, Black Dragon, Beauty, Beast, Titan, Blue Steel, Doble Maduro, Black Puro, and several others, but I can't bring myself to smoke them. I'm too proud of having them in my collection lol. Maybe one day...one day. I still need to get Grand Reserves, Centurian, Legend, Regent, and Grand Age.

    The Centurian and Legend are definitely worth finding. Email Tim, he can hook you up on the Centurian I bet.

    Wayne my man, I sent you a Centurian when you won the "Movie Trivia Pass" a few weeks ago!! They are amazing!! Light it up, you wont regret it, as a matter of fact, it will probably persuade you in to buying more!! They are so good!!

    after smoking like 930 "blends" i can't even remember I would probably have to say centurian and beauty
  • Joeyjoe21_8Joeyjoe21_8 Posts: 2,048
    I wasnt as fond as the centurian as much as the others...titan 2 was bad ass.....smoking a gran reserve non tubo .....pretty good i must say...
  • wwhwangwwhwang Posts: 2,878 ✭✭✭
    Smoked a few more Gurkha blends since my last post here. I love the Centurian and the Black Dragon. The Turk is really good if you're a fan of mild cigars. Still trying to get some tubed Grand Reserves lol.

    +1 on this, the Evil and Assassin are my two favorites, with honorable mention going to the vintage Shaggy maduro.
  • ejenne87ejenne87 Posts: 1,925 ✭✭
    The Centurian I think is a pretty great stick, but only if you can get it for around $5... The Triple Ligero is pretty good too I guess. Other than that I can't really stand much they offer.

    +2 on the Evil... haven't found an Assassin yet hopefully when we have the SE herf at Tobacco World they have a good stock of some "harder ti find" Gurkha's

    I wasn't aware of a Gran Reserve without a tube existed.. I'm saving my tubed one for the SE herf I think can't think of any other special occasion coming up any time soon...(also Grammar Naz!'d your post Joey)

    Now that we're on the subject, is there a difference between the Gran reserve and the Grand reserve or is that just a misspelling? I've seen sales for both, but can't figure out if they're different or not.

    Maybe your thinking of Grand Envoy?

    I may have to pick up one of these next time I stop in at the B&M. I don't really care for many Gurkha's but with all the positives the Evil is getting on here I think I should give it a shot.
