Just in from the Sister:

Gurkha's on a mission to take over the cigar industry. They certainly have a big enough army, with seemingly hundreds of different blends to choose. Admittedly you have to select carefully as there is the occasional clunker, but we've burned through a platoon of the limited edition Gurkha Special Ops line, and our intel confirms these are the real deal. Consisting of choice Nicaraguan and Dominican leaf concealed in dark Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrappers, the Special Ops are smooth but deceptively intense. Join the war against MSRP with this 75% off operative, 10 Gurkha Special Ops for only $29.99.

Just looking at the CI alphabet....didn't bother changing over the A offering, then there is this gem for E...

When you hear Dark Shark, I’m sure a slew of inappropriate jokes enter your childish dome. But I think of something much different. Dark Shark is a perennial monster on our top-seller charts, easily outselling those fancy national brands by 10 to 1.
I'd like to see the numbers behind that claim.
Doesn't even appear on CI's own best seller pages, while classics like C'est La Vie, Free Cuba and Dominican Cream do....

G'Morning, Fellas. Looks like some wintery weather may finally make an appearance this afternoon... folks already talking about leaving early and they don't even work in the IT department. =)
Heck, I would leave early from here to avoid Atlanta traffic.....I remember past years...half an inch and a total clusterfuk.

While that may be true, the DOT never invested in winter weather equipment or procedures. I think at one time, the entire state owned only a dozen plows, most of which were for N.Ga, not the Atl area. Now, after the Walking Dead scenario, they are finally buying more trucks and "pre-treating" areas with a saline type mixture.

And just remember, Atlanta is, and has been work relocation area for many folks. Some of the worst drivers out there are the carpet baggers that think they know what they are doing.  :P

Big-ass Gurkhas... yikes.
If I were forced to pick, i'd go for the Vintage Shaggy toros.  pretty much the best of the mess there imo.  legend used to be good, but they ran out of the original tobaccos and the replacements aren't like the original blend at all.

I am inclined to believe Flip would probably agree with those assessments.

Howdy, Sam. Happy Hump day
Hey Steve,  same back atcha!

Good morning boys! Happy Hump Day

Anybody ever try a Fratello cigar?
Had construction and burn issues with most I've had.  Nothing stood out in flavor department for me.  Others say they've liked them however.
Others like Gurkhas too. Andy actually bought one in Hamburg, maybe a 15th something or other...smoked an inch and tossed it
A buddy of his bought some cigars over at X-mas, he said he liked it but didn't know what it was, saved the band. When I saw it I told him it was a Gurkha, so he fell into the trap and bought one in Hamburg, different series though, can't find it yet
no, this is a 125th something, but the cigars that have some 15 year old tobacco are the Cellar Reserve.  I am a happy dude, just got me vintage shaggy's and Legend toro's over at the page for $2 a stick in mazo's of 10 free shipping.

it's by numbers of cigars sold.  somebody is buying a shitload of 69 cent cigars.  I am not saying they are getting a quality cigar... but they are getting something that they can light, and it it made mostly of tobacco.
