OK,

So I am looking for someone who can tell me which blends I have here. I tried searching the Gurkha Site but there are so many I'm not sure which these are. If anyone could help me out that would be great.


Thanks!

I haven't had many Gurkha's, but I assure you it would take 30x better if it was covered in "plume"...
 
Expedition in the first pic? No idea really. Second pic almost looks like legends.

Haha! Yeah, I actually haven't tried them yet, somewhat afraid to based on what I've read.

Greg, I was thinking they might be the Expeditions too but like I said its so hard to tell cause there are so many. Thanks for the help so far!

Second link looks like Regent and Legend.
 
For some reason I have a pretty good collection of Gurkhas, close to 50 different ones. I was keeping up with their releases for a while but it just became too much. That said I have at least a dozen that look like your second one but if it is fairly recent there is a good chance it is a Regent, Legends have a Gold band. The first one looks like a a Sultan but they usually have a band that says Sultan on them. Could be a Classic though.
 
Ok, this is very helpful so far, thanks guys!

Im thinking that it does look like the 2nd pic l-r is the Regent and Legend. Jury is still out on the 1st pic. I'm thinking Greg's fist guess- Expedition? The band doesn't say sultan.

Thanks again!
 
The expedition doesn't say expedition either. Here is a review of one with a second label.

I'm sensing a pattern. It seems that Gurkhas in general are hard to ID! It also would appear that each stick could be any number of possible blends. Guess that is thanks to K. Hansotia and his "thousands" of blends.

I guess there is no real way to tell. I'm thinking that the 1st picture is either the Master Select Churchill or the Expedition. The 2nd is almost definitely the Regent and Legend based on the band.

Thanks for the input!
 
To answer the question in the title, you have a shitty, overpriced cigar that's likely the same "blend" as a hundred other Gurkha releases, just with different labels. :)

Surprised no one answered that already! :D :D
