Help me ID this one?
 

It's a Gurkha, toro I think, natural wrapper (received from someone on ASC)...red band with gold trim and an image of a guy checking out his khopesh knife (unless it's a Gurkha...hmmm)...great cedary beginning, lots of lavender and other floral tastes, plenty of smoke, excellent draw, even burn. Anyone know which Gurkha this is?

Picture is for the band, obviously not the vitola.

There were, kerist, four, five, six, seven? (I lost count after I gave up on the brand years ago) different cigars from Burpha that use or have used that band.

What was the wrapper on it?
Did it have a cedar sleeve?
What vitola was it (or at least what shape)?

Re: Help me ID this one?
 

The Expedition might be it--yes, it had a cedar sleeve.

And cello wrapped.

And seemed to be a toro.


Third edit: but it didn't have the "Expedition" band.

Re: Help me ID this one?
 

The Master Select's come with a cedar sleeve and the lone red band.

Re: Help me ID this one?
 

IIRC, Expeditions always had the brother P-touch label on the cedar that read "Expedition".

There used to be a number of their cigars that had the red/yellow band but lacked a cedar sleve. Some only came in one vitola (such as the Centurion - only available as a perfecto) others had a second band (such as the Boer).

I think NCRadioMan likely has your answer with the Master Select. I seem to recall that being the only cedar wrapped, red/yellow band Burpha that didn't have a second band with a name on it, but I also admit I really haven't been following Burpha that much in the last few years, so things might have changed.
