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

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

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.

As always the service from C.gars was excellent..
After reading some amazing reviews, I decided to buy this cigar .
This was my 1st Gurkha cigar and I really wanted to like this Gurkha cigar, but it just didn’t deliver.
The burn was poor right from the start and needed constant touch-ups, which took away from the experience.
On top of that, there was virtually no flavour—just a flat, dull smoke with nothing memorable about it.
So I believe that there’s not bad cigars, just bad times to smoke them, so thinking it was me …. I tried a 2nd cigar …
And I can say… I don’t know were the positive reviews have come from?
.
Considering the price, it definitely doesn’t offer good value. Overall, not a cigar I’d try again

This has been sitting in my humidor for a few months. I really enjoyed this cigar, long smoke time, lots of spice flavours and very well constructed. Recommend this and I will most certainly be buying a few more

I was really looking forward to smoking this cigar but unfortunately I was bitterly disappointed. From the moment I straight cut it and lit it, it started to unravel from both ends. The cigar was dry as a bone despite being kept in my humidifier at 70%. Had to abandon it half way through as it became unsmokable.
Probably just unlucky as I purchased due to the other positive reviews
