Cigar: Gurkha Black Dragon Gran Especial (8.5 x 52)

Cost: I am not sure. I bought a mystery sampler off of a cigar website.

Drink: Lemon-Lime Gatorade

Appearance: This has a beautiful marbleized wrapper on it. There is a cedar wrap on most of the cigar. There were no veins showing. The appearance gets a 10/10

Pre-Light: I picked up some sort of dark, bitter taste.

Construction: Held an average ash. The draw was good. This is a densely packed cigar. The cigar weighs a ton. The cigar required a some touchups.

Taste of the cigar: This cigar had a horrible taste to it. The only way I can describe it is bitter dirt.

Strength: This is a medium bodied cigar.

Summary: This cigar was horrible. I put it out because I just couldn't assault my taste buds anymore. I would never buy this cigar again. I still have not found a Gurkha I like. I think I will give up on this brand. I give it a 2/10.

Here is where I put it out:

I smoked one these the other week. I thought to myself, hmmm I'm having a bad day, might as well cap it off with something crappy.

I am smoking a Tat P2 right now with Diet Lipton Green Tea with Mixed Berry...I would almost call this a close second to Aberlour or Macallan!

Ok, third, after McDonalds Vanilla Iced Latte...

:D What a great review! The best thing about Gurks is the crap their ad men put out! On paper, they are amazing. In the mouth? Not so much....:D;)
