I am a slow pleasure smoker and this took me 75 minutes before it was laid to rest. Consistent flavour all the way through of tobacco, wood and nuttiness with plenty of smoke.
Good even burn well after the band was removed just got a little wavy on the burn as it encroached the nub but not enough to need any help.
I have another one in the humidor and will try it again over the festive season to see if there is any difference.
Would I recommend this to a new smoker ? Yes if you take your time with it, but if you are a fast smoker who never puts it down then the spiciness (Nicotine) will get you.

Wow! For the price, this is amazing. Flavours of coffee, hay and a hint of chocolate. Smooth throughout, right up until the last draws when it had clearly had enough. I sipped an Amontillado sherry with this, which worked well. Nice even burn and pretty much a full hour. One of my favourites from C.Gars so far, and one I'll be smoking again.

Exquisite! A solid 50 minutes of pleasure from start to finish. Smooth, creamy, nutty. Even burn and a lovely smooth draw. Definitely one to buy again.

In almost 25 years of smoking cigars this is the first review I've left, because this cigar is something truly special. In general I only really love certain Cubans, but have been 'working' hard to get a good knowledge of new world cigars. I've been fortunate enough to smoke a very large number of very high end new world cigars at trade show, many impeccably built, blended and presented, but to my personal taste not even close to as enjoyable as a good Cuban. I've been buying and smoking a fair few new world cigars recently to expand my horizons a bit, including this one.
This is the first and so far only new world cigar I've absolutely loved. I've liked some, tolerated some, and hated more than a few. However this Gurkha stick is by far the best non-cuban I've ever smoked, and in fact one of the best cigars I've ever smoked.
This cigar was simply outstanding and (to me) way better than a whole lot of Cuban cigars. Totally balanced, Nicaraguan flavour comes through without the peppery, earthy harshness often present in Nicaraguan tobacco, a s

Very pleasant indeed! Very slight bitterness on the first couple of puffs but it very quickly settled into the smoothest of smokes. It lasted a full hour, the ash stacking right until the end. I was sorry to finish it. Creamy, leathery, with a hint of earthiness. Do yourself a favour and buy one.
