Gurkha Black Beauty Gran Torpedo: Quick Review



Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf Extra-fermented

Binder: Dominican Cibao Valley
Fillers: 5 year old Nicaraguan
Size: 7 x 56

Taste Profile: a good medium bodied stick with toasted grains, medium roast coffee, smooth overall,


This cigar should go well with Heavy Seas Black Cannon.  This Black IPA (India Pale Ale) has some nice toasted flavors, roasted grains, pine in the mix, a little semi-sweet chocolate, and a little wool like on the texture with lingering roasted notes.

This is a nice medium bodied pairing.  The ale seems to bring out a little coffee acidity and bitterness in the cigar – it must be that pine note in the ale.  The toasted notes really complement each other.
