Gurkha Black Dragon Fury
When I bought a 10 pack of these Black Dragons I was really
looking forward to smoking them. Boy,
was I disappointed. I have smoked two or
three of them and all three tasted like plastic and burnt plastic at that.
I reviewed this stick back on October 16, 2011. I have saved these nasty tasting cigars just
for this – The Worst of The Worst Series.
Maybe time has helped this cigar; maybe it is just as crappy as
ever. I also have to say, “this is the
worst of the worst.”
Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro
Binder: 2 – Nicaraguan Habano and Cameroon
Fillers: Nicaraguan and Peruvian
I am not looking forward to reviewing this cigar because
from what I remember is that my taste buds were shot for the rest of the day –
just from a few puffs of that nasty factory floor plastic burn.
Well, it is time to light it up. Nice wood, soil, and toasted leafs make for a
solid earthy style. Before I know it the
burn is around that ¼ point where that plastic smell and taste starts to
develop. I have gotten to the ½ inch
point and no plastic but, the damn wrapper just popped. I just can’t win with this cigar.
As the burn approaches the mid-point the earthy style is
just alright. The plastic note never
showed up on this stick but, it does have a strange flavor swirling around that
I just can’t put my finger on. The best
that I can come up with, for that strange note, is that it tastes like a cheap
cherry pipe tobacco.
To the Point: this is just boring and just plain ol’ not
tasty. There are not many cigars that I’ll
pitch out halfway through but, I think I am ready to pitch this one.
