Gurkha Heritage Collection Limited Edition Robusto Maduro Corto Cigar - 1 Single by Barry

Second Gurkha I've had after the Fat Boy...which is considerably better in my opinion. Feels light in the hand, single V cut produced a really open, airy draw but surprisingly makes massive amounts of thick, white smoke. Solid medium body and low/medium strength, lots of spicy pepper alongside a touch of coffee, dry leather and dusty, dry cedar, very dry and quite smokey in a cigarette type way....which wasn't great. Construction was decent enough, one minor correction needed but ash was super fragile and flaky. Probably wouldn't have again.

Gurkha Fat Boy Robusto Gordo Cigar - 1 Single 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.

Gurkha Warlord Cigar - SPECIAL EDITION - 1 Single by Adam

Bitter acrid flavour dominated this smoke compounded by uneven burn requiring attention to try and correct. Haven't found a "good" gurkha cigar yet. Perhaps its a case of good marketing of non luxury product. Wouldn't buy it again

Gurkha Royal Challenge Toro Tubed Cigar - 1 Single by Tomasz

Gurkha Royal Challenge Toro Tubed Cigar is a beautiful cigar. Construction was absolutely perfect burned even and had a very good draw. Quite complex and balanced flavours. Nuts and wood was felt through out the cigar. Very nice smooth and sweet smoke 9/10 just because I prefer darker flavours but if you're a fun of Connecticut like cigars it's a must

Gurkha Ghost Gold Exorcist Cigar - 1 Single by Adam

50 minutes of somewhat sour, bitter but not unpleasant smoke. Would pair with english tea with a splash of milk. Would not recommend this for a new smoker as it lacked any sweetness and may put them off trying anymore. The greatest flaw of this was it burned unevenly with 1cm wide and up to 2cm down tunnels various points throughout the smoke, there are much better cigars for under £10 like curivari, albeit smaller

Gurkha Royal Challenge Toro Tubed Cigar - 1 Single by Adam

This was not a "challenge". Very enjoyable mild smoke for me. Into the second half i noted some mild spicy nice tingling in my lips and front of tongue. Other than that very moorish nice tobacco flavour. It did burn unevenly by 2 cm from side to side but it did that from beginning to end consistently and though notable it would not put me off smoking one of these again. sadly no nuts, coffee or chocolate notes just nice tobacco.
