Personally, I think gurkhas are the best cigars in the world.
Oh no, I don't discount them because of the blowhard, ridiculous advertising, although it would be easy to do so. The stupid names don't bother me at all either. From CI: Few cigars can match the caliber of Gurkha handmade cigars. Considered to be some of the world’s finest and most prestigious super-premiums, the Gurkha brand represents a small-batch selection of ultra-elusive cigars that routinely receive top ratings in addition to ’Best of the Best’ honors from the Robb Report. Always pushing the envelope with exotic, high-end blends, Gurkha got another trick up its mighty sleeve, and it’s called the Black Dragon. Dressed in a dark and toothy, 5-year old Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper, the Black Dragon hails from Honduras and combines a vintage mixture of Dominican long-leaf tobaccos secured within a Cameroon binder. The smoke is thick and chewy, with a rich, leathery core and elegant hints of earth, complemented by an assortment of sweet spices on the finish. Medium in body and complex, yet buttery smooth, the Black Dragon is unlike any Gurkha you’ve tried before. Naturally, these cigars come magnificently packaged. {instert turd in a pretty box joke here}Inventory is extremely limited. I mean, come on, that dirt taste is ELEGANT, dang it, so dig in and enjoy. As I've already mentioned, I think these cigars are the best in the world. Needless to say, I only buy mine at my local B&M on nights of a full moon, to get that perfect melange of gestalt and gravity that ensures a primo cigar. And no, the earthy taste doesn't bother me. In fact, I don't even smoke these cigars. I make cigar tea out of them and use the tea to keep slugs off of my strawberries. I've tried the rest and none could remotely approach the slug repelling properties of a gurhka.
