Gurkha Ninja Perfecto

jjmitchem · 06-26-2011, 12:47 PM

Gurkha Ninja Perfecto 6X60

wrapped in a maduro leaf from Brazil, Inside is Nicaraguan long leaves and a Dominican binder

This was my first ninja and I was looking forward to it. It has a nice oily wrapper with prominent veins. It looked really good from the start.

the prelight was earthy with a woody aftertaste, the draw was nice and smooth and the cut looked great - not too tight or to loose

My cigar lighter is acting up so i lit this with a match and it fired right up. Good draw with plenty of smoke and a hint of chocolate to go along with the prelight flavors. I paired this with a nice Guiness

The flavors stayed throughout the smoke with just a hint of pepper. I found it to be a mild to medium cigar for a Gurkha - which I like for their strong body cigars

this cigar finished nice and I am looking forward to my next one.

Nice review. Bob (S15driftking) told me how good this stick was the other day at the B&M so I picked one up. I'm not sure how much longer i can wait to light it up.

Thanks everyone

It is milder than a normal Gurkha in my opinion but very good

btw you will see more Gurkha reviews from me - I was selected to be part of a Gurkha Tasters group where they will send me sticks to review and post on different forums

I don't think that will ever change. Bob is Gurkha for life.
