Gurkha Ghost Angel Tubed Torpedo Cigar - 1 Single by simon

This cigar is medium in strength with woody and toasted nuts and a little bitter dark chocolate with plenty of smoke per puff. It held the ash well and the burn line was straight as they come. For me it was a 75 minute smoke time (Slow leisurely smoker). Last third close to the nub I picked up a strange flavour of cloves.

Gurkha 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Trienta Toro Cigar - Tin of 5 by simon

Started off very difficult to draw over the first third but last two thirds was ok. Pleasant smoke with a touch of spice all the way through. I bought a tin of five of these and this was the first one I have smoked so far. The others I will leave in the humidor for a few months and will try again.

Gurkha Royal Challenge Toro Tubed Cigar - 1 Single by simon

I am a leisurely smoker and this lovely cigar lasted me 1hr and 50 minutes. Smoothness 9/10, flavour 9/10, build quality 10/10 ash retention on this is 11/10 it holds the ash like crazy which tells me that the build quality is great. I smoked this with it being in my humidor for only a couple of weeks and will keep another for a few months and try it again. Both bands came away very very easily. The flavour I got was Smooth Tobacco, Wood, Leather and some expresso or very dark chocolate most of the way through. A new smoker would enjoy this if smoked slowly also would be suitable for the faster smoker who like a bit of added spice (nicotine). This is one to try for sure.

Gurkha Cellar Reserve 15 Year Old Solara Double Robusto Maduro Cigar - 1 Single by simon

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.

Gurkha Ghost Shadow - Robusto Cigar - 1 Single by Henry

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.
