I wonder how many people have paid $1000-2000 for a single F'n Gurkha...

Clueless ****. Aside from price differentials just the list was ridiculous.

If they vibrated at least, I'm sure they would do well in the niche market of 'presidential cigars'

What kind of **** wrote this article?

I like most of the cigars on this list aside from the Gurkha and Stradivarius. Never tried a Denmark or Louixs.

The Stradivarius is a flaming hot dumpster fire. I'd rather use it as chewing tobacco.

Gurkha's whole pricing scheme is ridiculous and those specifically can be had in a bundle of 20 for about 100 bucks tops.

Who in the hell buys those Gurkhas?

I don't know anyone who smokes them let alone pays that for them. My favorite NC shop is selling Black Dragon bundles marked down from $320 to $79. Have been for a year. It would appear they can't get rid of the sh&t sticks. Yes I've tried a few different Ghurkas and they IMO all sucked. The Padrons on the other hand were quite tasty. Just goes to show expensive is not always best.

Would rather a PLMC over probably most of them all day long....I once was caught up in the Padron 80 years and family reserve. Now they have a lonely existence in a desk to somewhere, no room for them in my fridges..Behike ... just love them .Opus x A just insult some women if you want a smack in the face.

Very inaccurate list.

Love whenever some wanker journalist gets told, "Hey, write an article on cigars, it's what our wannabe-swanky readers should be into", and then the journalist goes, "WHA?!?!?!? I don't know anything about cigars, boss!!!! Oh well, WTF...", and does a horrible, uneducated article (and tries to write like one indeed knows, but also uses photos that don't match up, etc.)

So sad.

Opus X and Pardon are stupidly overrated. Their cigars are not even that great, there are tons of better sticks for half the price out there!

Gurkha doesn't even belong on this list, they just have the finance to back it.... Such terrible cigars...

the Dutch have 50 words for ****...........

all of them apply to this article............

I have seen the Stradivarius for sale at JR for 8.00 /stick.

Black Dragons fetch 6-7 dollars each.

King of Denmark.... 30 made per day? $75.00 each? What a potential gold mine,and a piss poor business model...........

The King of Denmark is actually a really good stick, it can be had cheaper though, around 35 bucks.

These seem to all be MSRP, but can be found for substantially less.

About a month into this hobby, I picked up a Stradivarius for around $10 because I'm a musician and I liked the name. Found out later that they try and demand such a high price. I haven't smoked it yet.

I love Fuentes and Padrons though. Again, they can be found for a lot cheaper than this article claims.

As far as Gurkha: not a bad cigar for $1-$2. For $1000+, one would be sorely disappointed.

These Gurkha Cigars everybody raves about must be an amazing smoke!

it caught my eye on a NC website front page

List price $1000

Sale price $79.95

92% discount they must be AMAZINGlmao.gif

I'll bet that site didn't even sell many at that 92% discount!

I wouldn't pay 1,000 pennies for any Gurkha...probably wouldn't even pay 10 pennies for one...

I haven't had a Gurkha I liked. They're almost as bad as those 1 dollar sticks you find at the local liquor store.

The Ghurka White Owl,

MSRP $1250 on sale at Liquor Barn $0.75 a stick.

Somebody must be buying Ghurkas, how else could they still be around?

Posted

Maybe someone is buying up the discounted Ghurkas and using them for counterfeit Cohibas!

Posted

I have had the Padron 80th and I much prefer the 40th maduro! Smoked A few Opus there OK but not worth the price! I have never had A Gurka I liked period!

the whole Padron 1926 series is overpriced but probably still worth the $$$. In my view every other NC stick on this list (including the Opus X) is just not worth the cash.
