I love the Micro Batch Liga TPB-1, I've recently burned through a 2nd box of them, and likewise haven't paid over 2$ a stick.
What's with the Gurkha hate?

LOL. :closedmou
I've had a few Gurkhas with the only one I cared for being the Triple Ligero. I too dislike their approach to high MSRP and their ridiculous packaging. I've walked into a few B&Ms where the Gurkha boxes take up an entire shelf! I guess they think all the eye candy will make people buy their cigars - I don't care for it. I'll take the crappy packaging with the good cigars any day.
There is a fundamental flaw with Gurkha, the owner, does not smoke cigars... I've had the misfortune of meeting this clown... he thinks his cigars are the best out there, talks bad about other things.... and does not even smoke.
They price a cigar at 15 bux (at the price, you can smoke... Fuente, Padron, Pepin, Pete Johnson, LFD and many other high quality cigars, instead of a piece of junk not worth 1/10th it's price...
But that's just me.
the only 2 Gurkha that are actually worth a shit, are the 2 that Abe (PDR) makes for them... and that's cause Abe will not put out a piece of shit just to make a buck.

I smoke Opus like candy!
They are mass produced, overpriced goat turds......for the most part. The Ninja line is decent ( at least the one I smoked). I guess what turns me off is that there is no exclusivity with them, and on every cigar site there are ten page listings of different Ghurka options. I'm partial to sticks that are more limited because by and large the quality is so much better across the board.
gurkha are a great $3-$6 dollar smokes if you can get them at that price great. Think all the hate comes from the outrageous MSRP.

I heard good things about the Gurkha Beuty (excluding the price) and CI had a special on a 5 pack of Beuty's for $30 so I grabbed a pack to try out, considering that's normally the price of one. We'll see how it goes.
While I like the Park Ave, its nothing fancy really. I also had another that I liked in the beginning, but I do not know what it was. G5 is okay too. Seems to be a love it or hate it brand.
I am surprised I don't see this mentioned, but I would think they make way too many cigars. While I see some other company's catching up these days, I would have to say that there is a wider variety of Gurkha's for sale than anything else. It makes it rather confusing for the consumer, and lowers their quality as a whole because out of all those cigars, many are rather bland.
Does anyone know of a cigar company with more brands than them?

I have to tread lightly here. There was a B & M in Sacramento that I frequented every week for a year while I had a project there. The owner, wise and knowing, told me that the Gurkhas that show up online aren't necessary the same ones that they send to the B & M's. I have no proof of this but this guy had a huge selection of Gurkhas and they were certainly much better than what I was buying online. Also more expensive. Again, no idea if it's true.
