I smoked this Shaggy which supposedly contained pre-embargo tobacco. The only thing I can positively say is that it lit easily. Other than that, from the rancid taste to the constant relighting, this was an awful waste of over an hour of my weekend.

I gave it the old college try in that I did not want to give up on it too quickly, however, my motto of 'life's too short for bad cigars' nudged me to allow this thing to die a natural death.

That said, I have never smoked a Gurkha that made me want to invest in even a 5er. Is it me or or their sticks over-hyped dog rockets?

I can't thank you enough for this review. I never had a Gurkha and was seriously considering getting a 5er. Better invest some where else I guess. :halfgrinw

Gurkha is up to close to 90 cigars in their family now, a couple aren't to bad, it's just finding the right one....and obviously the one you selected wasn't one, sorry my friend!

The worst line of cigars ever created... I would rather smoke a Don Armondo or a Watermelon White Owl than these POS
