Gurkha Fat Boy Robusto Gordo Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Friday 02 January, 2026 by Barry

1st Gurkha cigar, in all honesty I've avoided them, I find the branding a bit tacky and they don't have a great reputation; However, this was a pleasant surprise. Fairly light in the hand, with a guillotine cut it was really airy; however, smoke output was excellent, as was ash retention...around 2 inches. Construction was good with a razor sharp burn and no relights or corrections, wrapper did crack during second third; however, its paper thin, extremely delicate and its below freezing currently so I'll let it slide. Flavours are spicy pepper, dry wood and roasted nut with a touch of strong espresso and leather to finish with a surprisingly sweet overlay. Good enough to try other Gurkha cigars.

1st third was a great spice taste, slight after taste of aniseed. Plumes of white smoke throughout and ash held nicely into the 2nd 3rd.. bringing a nice transition into a deep rich coffee/ dark chocolate taste with the final 3rd mellowing out with just beautiful peppery finish.. i used a punch cut on this 60 guage beast, and tbh this is by far the strongest I've smoked for sure as it knocked me for six, and im still new to this world .. would I buy again, once the 2nd one is gone from my stash... damn straight... a good 50min smoke and that was me not taking it easy on it.. no relights, great burn..a solid cigar with superb draw from start to finish..Easy a good 1hr plus cigar if you took your time with it
