Gurkha Grand Age Perfecto

[Chris.]

I bought this sometime late last year. I neglected to write the date on the cello.

This cigar looked great. Nice, dark, oily wrapper. Both ends are left open.




It lit easily, but the draw was very tight until I burned through about .5". It then opened up a bit, allowing me to get some decent amounts of smoke.


I got some coffee flavors, some dark chocolate, some wood and leather. Every now and then I would get some sort of spice. Not overwhelming though. It was never a powerful cigar. I thought it would kick my butt with pepper and spice by looking at it, but it was surprisingly mild for a Gurkha. It burned very slowly. It took me 1.25 hours just to get halfway through it. I got some type of bitter spice in the last 1/3, but it was still not bad. I had to do several light touch ups on the burn, but it was acceptable. I probably smoked it about 1" past this point, because I had to go in and do some things. Didn't expect it to last so long!
