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:
