Default Gurkha Master Select Robusto #4

here goes my second review

this is for the Gurkha aster Select Robusto #4, a 6x52 cigar with a dark oily wrapper and a nice firm feel.




I paired this last night with a Guinness Stout

Using a punch, this cigar lit nicely and had a nice draw. I prefer a draw not too loose and this one was perfect for me. The burn was immediately even and I had no burn issues what so ever.

The flavor was medium I would say, but I am still a rookie here, with a nice peppery tint. I found the flavor to be even throughout the entire burn with pepper being the prominent taste along with some earthy tones.

near the end, about an hour, I started to have a slight problem with some of the wrapper coming off where I was holding it. But I would have to say it was in my hand the entire time I was smoking it since we were out and I had no good place to rest it.

Over all I really enjoyed this cigar and will return to it in the future. I am enjoying trying new ones and working on picking out my "go to" cigar. This is up at the top of the list so far.

Jim
