I'm sure they are similar. I do know that some if not a lot of gurkha's cigars share some of the same characteristics. I know the beauty and status are almost similar except the filler which is dominican instead of Nicaraguan. Though I haven't lit up any status's (might this sunday during poker) I'm sure that they will be similar though I'm sure have a different overall taste.
though looking at some of the prices, the status comes in bundles of 30 which are almost half of what the beauty is and the beauty comes in a box of 25. I wonder why this is? I also wonder why some of the gurkhas are sold in bundles when in the photos they have a stand with the cigars being propped up.
I had a status yesterday and this is what I thought; Very mild cigar, milder than the beauty. It burned well and had a woody/earthy taste. It was a good cigar though not one I'd buy a box of. I do think the Beauty is a litter better probably because the Status is such a mild cigar, too mild for my tastes but still a nice cigar.
I had one on sunday and it was mild in body, but it had a suprising amount of flavor. Some nice nutty notes and very smooth. I was very suprised at how good this smoke was. I got a couple of them in a sampler and I think I might be getting a box of them.
so while going through my inventory I seem to have almost all the gurkhas except the ancient warrior (and HMR). Anyone have one of these? The description sounds good but I'm thinking if it's worth ordering..

I actually have an Ancient Warrior, the old school one with the maroon band and the wide maroon at the foot. Haven't smoked it yet, its like eight inches, kinda intimidating.

The Ancient Warrior was what I had in the hot tub Saturday night . I was really shot from the work week and the A W was just what the doctor ordered. I was more interested in unwinding and relaxing with a couple of drinks and a good smoke than trying to keep up with flavors but I would definitly buy this again. It was very good, I also have a work associate who smokes the Ancient Warrior and swears its the best cigar he ever had although I think his experience is somewhat new and limited.....for what its worth I like them ...

I did a quick look and couldn't find it from any of the reputable shops I know off.
I have an Acient Warrior in the humi that I'm letting rest for a while before I give it a shot. I've had a few Gurkha smokes and I haven't had a bad one, just not really worth the price tag that so many of them carry.
