I had read the other reviews for the Gurkha Ghost Shadow and was intrigued enough to add one to my last order.
This cigar was well packed with a good draw and even burn throughout, although I did find I needed to relight a couple of times.
There is an unmistakable dark, earthy taste to the Gurkha which makes it distinctive, and certainly you get clouds of smoke from this beast. I didn’t get the sweeter notes that some describe. As ever though, you can’t completely judge a cigar on a single smoke. It does have nice peppery notes that make the earthier flavours more complex and interesting. Not sure I’d order again, but worth trying if you like the darker, earthy flavours.

Had one of these in the lounge at Liverpool this morning, recommended by David who was very helpful
. Delightful smoke, good draw and even burn. Chocolate and spice with a hint of fruit was perfect with a strong latte.
As soon as I had finished my smoke, went back to the humidor to buy a handful to take home with me and having another on the sunbed on the patio at home right now....this is how all Saturdays afternoons should be.

Baggy loose draw. Interesting, complex flavours but let down by the dodgy build quality. Baggy draw reached the stage about half way when the thing unravelled. Shame as this could have been great.

Super tight draw, minimal smoke. I know they are cheap but theyre not even worth the asking price. Really bad burn as well, far too many construction issues. Will not be purchasing after receiving in a sampler.

Another hit from the Inka Red selection. Great construction, look & smell. I cut rather than punched & it lit & drew nicely. Initial tastes of sandalwood & leather, nice mellow flavours - not at all overpowering. I thought it was quite a pleasant cigar, not a patch on the robusto do not quite a 5* rating but hey it’s a good smoke for the price & certainly better than some more expensive caronas. I got 5 so I’ll enjoy the next 4.

Absolute beaut of a cigar, always kicks off with a good bit of pepperines to start with and is full of flavour throughout. The draw is always perfect as is the burn. I can honestly say I have smoked plenty of these over the last couple of years and never had a bad one. It also passes my Friday night test and pairs perfectly with a Guinness to ease the stresses of the working week.
