Date Added: Sunday 07 February, 2021
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.

Amazingly presented this is a beautiful bottle that i like to keep behind the bar. The flavours of fresh apples and grapes compliment the vanilla background flavour. with a long and sweet finish.

This cigar the first Gurkha i have ever tried has brought back my faith that non Cuban cigars can be as good if not better than Cuban cigars, i have had some very poor experiences with non Cuban cigars But this Gurkha 18 year old Cellar Reserve is absolutely fabulous, the foot needs to be carefully lit at the very tip but once lit the draw after a couple of minutes is perfect, the cigar starts off mild to medium then in the second third it is deffinately medium and the final third quite strong, the burn is very good and the ash held until the half way point, the taste is very pleasent and enjoyable indeed, it lasted well over an hour i paired it with a Trappistes Rochefort 10 strong ale 11.3% a very enjoyable afternoon had and will most deffinately buy the cigar and the ale again

This is a special smoke that lives up to its name. Only ordered 10g sample and regretted not buying more almost instantly. Usually not a fan of Virginia-heavy blends, but the dark cured in this works for me. Can imagine some pipers being unimpressed with the slightly medicinal taste, but for me, it's subtle, interesting and invigorating. The room note has that "old books" thing going on which I found to be true of another honeyed tobacco. The strength is surprising since the taste is so smooth, so it behooves the piper to take time and sip this one. Big fan already after a single bowl. Rich, dark and slightly mysterious, just like this reviewer (except for the rich part).

I’ve heard good and bad things about this cigar but as usual I like to make my own mind up. I must say what a brilliant smoke . I had a gorgeous roast dinner made by the best chef I know ( my mum ) and afterwards smoked this cigar with a ten year old aged port . It was great , touched the burn up a couple of times but it tasted and smoked lovely would definitely recommend
