Well, guess what? I dropped an email to the vendor of the Gurkhas, and they're taking them back. Said they have had many complaints on them. They were unsmokable - the paper-thin wrapper would come off and stick to you, the cigar would split as soon as you lit it and it would generally unwrap. My favorite right now is Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Petit Bellicoso Maduro. These are the ones that arrived a little over-humidified but are coming in nicely. I'll probably get some more of these with the refund. I guess I just need to break down and get a big humidor with active humidification and quit fighting the multiple small boxes.
