Looks evil, gives off and evil amount of smoke, but my word is it lovely. Possibly one of the best constructed cigars Ive smoked. Easy light, even burn and a lovely flavour that develops a little but never gets harsh. My first foray into Dominican and Ill be trying plenty more.
Back in the day, I had a friendly merchant in The USA who would ship to The UK & they would regularly send free samples, usually of Gurkhas. Of the dozen or so I tried, I didnt find a single one I wanted to smoke again! They all tasted dirty, for the want of a better word. Strong, dusty & rather…
Such a pretty cigar but that was about it, for me. First two thirds were a big disappointment: burnt, harsh flavours. Final third picked up a little bit, comprising some nice earthy and peppermint notes. Can only assume I had a bit of an off stick.
Rubbish. Seriously rubbish. Flavours are decent if you can get it to burn properly but the burn is the most uneven on a cigar Ive ever seen. The wrapper started unravelling halfway through and it stopped burning several times. Dont waste your money.
Just finished smoking this. Not a fan. Great construction. Great foot smoke. But lord it tastes of nothing. I donΒt know if I got a dud but it has no flavour. Not enjoyable so would not recommend.
Got this as part of a sampler. The draw is fine, the taste is fine with a lingering of pepper, and the build is fine. A very middle of the road cigar but at under £3 you shouldnt expect the world.
