Default island prince dark bumboocha Hawaiian cigar?

Ok. Most of you are saying. What the hell is that? Well I'm spending the week in kauai and I ran across this kauai cigar company. They have 2 cigars. 3 sizes each the bumboocha is a toro 6x52. 100% Hawaiian filler. The dark which I'm reviewing here is a nicaraguan Habano 2000 wrapper. Rolled in Nicaragua and by the quality I'd say by pepin.

Prelight draw fantastic. Construction flawless. Burn immaculate. Flavor very rich and smooth reminds me of an ashton VSG or many gurkhas. Nice surprise kinda expensive worth a try. Legend rating 3.6.

Who wouldn't. The blue steel. Grand age. Black dragon. Vintage shaggy. Dragonfire. Master select maduro. Gurkha makes many rich strong smooth cigars.

Lot a Gurkha haters.


More for me. Muwha HAHAHA

Each their own. I have 2 Gurkhas in my top 5. Now they do make some dogs. Few IMO. But some. Personally I think hansotia is very good at giving us stuff that is different and not the same old same old. Usually very flavorful and smooth. Which I like.

Thanks for this review. I was in Kauai also and picked-up one of these sticks, not sure of the size, all I know is that it came in its own wood coffin. I really did not trust it too much (being a local cigar and all), but I really want to try it now.
