Default Re: blind 10 spot review(s)

Well, Andy took me up on my offer. EEE, you have first shot at the other position since you graciously put on round one. If not, Mark or someone else that has followed this thread can step in.

I'm more interested in which cigars you enjoy more than picking the Gurkhas. My biggest issue with gurks is construction. Several have flavors I've enjoyed, but they have fell apart on me more than any other cigar manufacturer. I always believe that in a blind review without any hype, you are more prone to find what you like.

So, who else wants to play?

Is this a question for me? What do I like right now?

I'm into strong sticks. I like about anything Nicaraguan at this point. I mellow out with some Padrons and a few CCs that people gift me, but if I'm picking it out, I go for the power and strength. I haven't found much power in Gurkhas yet.

CIGAR #10


Robusto with an ugly blemished wrapper. Pre-light draw is grass and hay.

First few draws...



I would guess that this cigar IS a Rolando Reyes cigar.

I meant what you think of the ten blind sticks versus just "gurkha or not" as an answer, but this will help with a lineup.
