Back in the day, I had a friendly merchant in The USA who would ship to The UK & they would regularly send free samples, usually of Gurkhas. Of the dozen or so I tried, I didnt find a single one I wanted to smoke again! They all tasted dirty, for the want of a better word. Strong, dusty & rather unpleasant. A decade later I decided to give this little one a try and even though I find pig tail caps really annoying (require both clipping AND punching!) this proved to be one of the most enjoyable sticks I have smoked! Nice white ash that stays together well, not too hot a smoke and a very mild flavour, which was surprising from a Maduro. Just ordered a box as a result.

Such a pretty cigar — but that was about it, for me. First two thirds were a big disappointment: burnt, harsh flavours. Final third picked up a little bit, comprising some nice earthy and peppermint notes. Can only assume I had a bit of an off stick.

Rubbish. Seriously rubbish. Flavours are decent if you can get it to burn properly but the burn is the most uneven on a cigar Ive ever seen. The wrapper started unravelling halfway through and it stopped burning several times. Dont waste your money.

Just finished smoking this. Not a fan. Great construction. Great foot smoke. But lord it tastes of nothing. I donÂ’t know if I got a dud but it has no flavour. Not enjoyable so would not recommend.

So I decided to try out one of my Gurhka Aged cigars. I have the 12, 15 and 18 tucked away in my hum. So I started with my 15 yr old Koi. I noticed that the wrapped was slightly split at the draw end, but wasnt enough to disappoint me. The first part of this amazing, lovely and sweet with a hint of spice. The sweetness continued through, but about midway I got more spice and a lovely leathery hit. And the smoke smell is just divine. But alas just after halfway the wrapper pretty much just sprang off and unraveled itself. Bit of a let down, but probably just a one off. I have another one in a hum, so we shall see if what happens next time. Greatly recommend. Four stars just because the wrapper came off.

Great for beginners. Rich and creamy, very sweet but a spicy/peppery finish. You must give this a try if your looking to try something new
