Freebie on a recent purchase from CI
Professed to be one of the greatest and full bodied
Gurkha. I can’t think of too many full
bodied Gurkhas that I have had.
Off the Light: smooth feel, delicate earth; as the burn
continues it seems to be a mild-medium bodied smoke, not much on the flavor
front, simple delicate earthy tone of rich soil, there is a big soft spot right
where I bite on the cigar
Mid-Point: entering the second-third the cigar is more
medium body at best; delicate soil continues with a dose of mild-medium roast
coffee the kind made with well water.
This stick has been disappointing so far. Thank goodness it was free.
The burn is starting to canoe and the wrapper is starting to
pop. There was a spot on the wrapper
were the Warlord band was. This is where
the wrapper is starting to crack.
The wrapper did not pop.
Just a little crack and the burn went on by without an issue. Must have been the glue on the band.
Down the Stretch: I can’t believe I made it this far for
this cigar is boring. The cigar has
needed several touch ups with the lighter to correct the uneven burn. The flavor is a dry earthy coffee and nothing
else. The aftertaste just feels dirty. I won’t be smoking this down to the nub. I want to go get a good cigar to finish the
day on a positive note.
To the Point: if you want to be bored to death this cigar is
for you. I wouldn't pay a dollar for
this stick. You don’t want your buddies
dipping into your humidor hand them this cigar … they well never ask for
another one.
