Gurkha Empire Series VI: Review


Wrapper: Brazilian Maduro
Fillers: Dominican Piloto and Cubano; Nicaraguan ligero
Size: 5.5 x 52
On sale for $60.00 a box of 20
My Strength Rating: 6

This cigar is pretty consistent throughout.  It has nice medium roast coffee and dry soil earthy notes on the first third.  The mid-section carry notes of medium roast coffee, dark chocolate like notes and tasty soil earthy notes.  The hearty roasted notes build a bit toward the final third.  Mouthfeel is on the dry side and the roasted notes cover the palate. 

I enjoyed this stick with a cup of Biggby French Roast Coffee and this was an excellent pairing. 

It is what it is – a three dollar cigar and not a bad three dollar cigar at that.
