Hi,
    These are some innovative reviews about the cigar. These reviews are very interesting facts.



Joe

I really like this one, as well. The first one I had was, I think, an enormous churchill and it was great. Now I smoke the Edmundo size. Just don't have time for those churchills.

Monte's are sluts. The whole school knows it.

Hey G, I guess it depends on what else you are doing at the same time.

But your honor , I swear these burn marks are a sign of enjoyment NOT abuse

Just had my Gurkha Status with my morning/afternoon coffee and some breakfast cookies. I need to premise this one by saying the Status does not come in celophane, but in a big glass tube. My advice: either store it in the glass tube or find some celo to put it in. I made the mistake of storing it naked and the wrapper is extremely delicate and brittle. Long story short, after lots of moves, this cigar was just short of falling apart before I even lit it up. Sucks.

Burn issues aside, for the $14 that I paid, I could name mild cigars that are much cheaper and just as good or better without the almost 2 hour burn time. The Status is a huge cigar and just not interesting enough to justify its size. Very mild and creamy, but too consistent throughout. If you're looking to try this one, do yourself a favor and buy a 5 pack of 5 Vegas Gold. You'll get 5 cigars for 5 mornings with your coffee, and they'll last just enough time to finish coffee and breakfast, not coffee, breakfast and then into lunch. Again, I'd also recommend just about anything from the Ashton classic line or the Perdomo Champagne - both of which will cost more than the 5 Vegas Golds, but both fantastic mild cigars.

In the end, while I didn't hate this cigar, it's obvious that I didn't love it and for the price point, I just can't recommend it.

I'd say I'd agree with that. The status is a beautiful cigar but I did enjoy the vegas gold much more as well as the gurkha turk. The beauty is much better too.

Hey Rob,, I've said it before. Don't use price as a basis for how good a cigar will be. Many of the best cigars I've had fall in the 7 dollar or less range.

I agree on the turk and vegas and I'm hoping the beauty is better - I just ordered 2 of them. And I agree with you Kas, but I bought this cigar about a year ago when I was easily suckered into the fancy packaging and hype (ok, sometimes I still am). 5 Vegas is the best example of that. La Aroma de Cuba is another great cigar that's very reasonably priced. On the other hand, I also love some of La Aurora's more pricey sticks, as well as the $25 Gurkha Royal Salute.

hey fancy stuff is cool! hehe.. well I knew the status was going to be mild, it is even stated on the description.. something like one of gurkha's mildist cigars. The beauty is woody, creamy, and nutty. It too is mild but much better than the status. I have on left and am torn on getting a box. I'm going to smoke my other one and see. It's a spendy cigar and if you take price in consideration is it worth it? well that depends on how much you can get it for. Though I do think that price is usually not going to bring with it the best. though you don't know unless you try.

Quick review before bed. Today I lit up one of my Padilla Achilles Salomons. It was mild, but nice. It would be a great cigar for a morning or early afternoon smoke. Creamy, toasty flavors with some sweet undertones. No spice on this one. Draw was perfect, burn was a bit wavy and needed one correction. Overall, I enjoyed it.

i havent had much lick with padilla....
but those are the flavors i seem to enjoy quite a bit. i should check it out.
