Duder2:Ok, time to catch up on the last few days. The Gurkha doble maduro I smoked yesterday afternoon ended up growing on me, I nubbed it (perfect burn). I can't put my finger on exactly what was so intriguing about it, so I will go back to that one later for more investigation when I get the 2 more I just ordered in and they have had some rest. Later it was a Gurkha C-10. It was interesting, but in the end not really my cup of tea. I capped the night off with a Nepalese Warrior. That one threw me for a loop, the first third had a kinda buttery (like popcorn butter) thing going on, then got into a less buttery more spicy kinda note. I won't be going back for more on that one any time soon, a little odd for my tastes (so far anyway). Today started with a Gurkha triple ligero. It was pretty good, I'll re-investigate that one after some rest as well. Tonight started a bit frustrating with a Gurkha grand envoy. Flavor wise it wasn't bad, but was pretty tight on the draw and had some uneven burn issues. About half way through I gave up on that one and went for a random Perdomo out of the package that just came in today, it was a Lot 23. It was pretty good, but a night and day difference from the Grand Envoy, so it took a minute to acclimate to it. In the end, not a bad day. I'm taking a break from the Gurkha's for a while. I have been curious about them lately, found some I liked, some I didn't, ordered some more from the make your own 10 pack deal going on right now, and will give them some rest before further investigation. Sorry about the long rant, I don't get a chance to check in every day, so when I do it might be a few days worth.
