Date Added: Saturday 21 June, 2025 by Gary

First Gurkha I have tried to be honest but plenty of others in the humidor to go at. IÂ’ve got to agree with the other reviews. Good amount of smoke, slightly uneven burn and to be fair, a tight but consistent enough draw all the way through in my experience - no need for a perfecdraw however yes if I purchase another that might be worth a try. Not as full bodied as I thought it would be but overall a pleasant smoke overall.

As others have said I had to use perfecdraw burnt well bit uneven initially then about 1/3 through just became very bitter and made me nauseous despite eating before and had to stop disappointing as first third was nice

Cracking little stick. A definite hit of mint & dark chocolate. Burn a little bit un even but think that was due to it being a bit windy outside when i was smoking it. Very easy draw and lasted over an hour. Highly enjoyable and will definately get more.

IÂ’m a big fan of Gurkha. IÂ’ve many really good cigars from them and all have been great. This oneÂ… I know Gurkha have a rep got advertising over quality, which is each to their own, personally, I love them. IÂ’ve had two of these in the humidor and I decided to have one yesterday. Draw was awfully tight, no smoke and thatÂ’s that. I know I could say to Cgars and get a replacement, but I should have used the Perfecdraw and sorted the knots, but for some reason I forgot. Had another less than ten mins ago. Same issue, so I use the handy perfecdraw and pulled out a knot that looked longer than the actual cigar. Maybe five inch. The draw and burn and flavour from then was what I expected from a Gurkha. Sweet, bitter dark chocolate and hazel. A creamy white smoke and brilliant burn. IÂ’ve had a lot of GurkhaÂ’s and we all need to remember that these are natural products, so sometimes a knot happens. IÂ’d always advise to get a perfecdraw incase. Would I recommend? Yes. For the most part. IÂ’d say, this isnÂ’t a beginners cigar. Strong, but not too strong for a seasoned smoker. But I canÂ’t stress enough the Perfecdraw if youÂ’re getting a Gurkha. ItÂ’s worried me, but the tool itself is worth its weight in gold (And I see you can get a Cgars gold and silver draw enhancer which I have my eyes on) soÂ… Final thoughts? Maybe expect a draw issue, like any cigar but donÂ’t give up. Use your draw enhancer and you should get a fantastic smoke which will blow you away. A 4/5 just for the mild inconvenience. But not a bad cigar.

punchy, sweet, smokes well start to finish. If you like a darker cure these are well worth a try.
