Why are Gurkha's cigars so good

Ok...can anyone tell me why Gurkha cigars are so good. I have never tried one, but the reviews on them are always one of the best. What makes them so good, and where can i buy one for a relatively discount price? When i say Gurkha, of course i men His Majesty Reserve cigars or the Legend or even the Black Dragon...

A cigar that's created from choice tobacco, that has been well aged, and then rolled by experts, then allowed to age again are part of the reason Gurkha has such consistently high quality cigars.

The Gurkha cigar makers have a good website that tells you all about the history and what goes into making this brand and describes their various blendings.

This is their site:
http://www.gurkhacigars.com/gurkha_legend.cfm

One source, which is a well priced internet site and also a large store that sells Gurkha at very good pricing is Bonita Smoke Shop located in SW Florida. This is their page for Gurkha:
http://www.bonitasmokeshop.com/gurkha_cigars_flavored_with_loui.htm

Their Gurkha page has a large selection with most of their most popular cigars.

A commercial gimic supported and made by a giant cigar conglomerate. Some cigars just get lucky in the ratings and this one is all fake but no substance.

Made to order for a client this cigar is smoke and mirrors as are many of the giant commercial cigars. Buy cigars that are the most advertised and you will always get mediocre cigars for top price. Someone has to pay for the ads the sales people and the corporate headquarters. Enjoy cigars but do not be fooled. AND WITH THIS CIGAR DO NOT BE A FOOL...Ignore it.

have you ever had this cigar...and i have had a variety of cigars, and most of the time, the best ones are the ones that the ratings say are the best...however, their is one cigar that i can think of that is high on the ratings, but was not very good to me...and i cant tell you the name, but if i were to see it, i could tell you

 

at any rate, do you have any verifiably proof that the Gurkha is not good???
