Gurkha Empire III
Robusto
Retail $6.00
Wrapper maduro
Pre Light
The aroma from the foot is clean tobacco and earth. The wrapper is chocolate brown and has a two tone discoloration and pretty veined. The cigar is a little to tight from head to toe. There is a knot about two inches in I hope does not affect the draw. The fake triple cap looks nice the booking is a little loose in the center with the edges being really tight it must just be the tip since the stick is so tight. Looks like it might have some burn issues. Despite the tight stick the pre-light draw is pretty good just a little tight. The cap has a nice clean tobacco taste on it.
1st turn
As the smoke starts there is a nice coffee taste coming out on the finish which is starting out short. This is defiantly a mild body smoke there is a little toast and earth in the flavors now. On the draw there is a good chocolate flavor coming thru. The burn is a little wavy and the ash is a little flakey but forming nice. The chocolate and coffee flavor is really picking up and tasting good there is also a nice sweetness in there.
2nd turn
The chocolate and coffee flavors are changing rolls threw out one is defining why the other is underneath then they will switch the earth is also coming out pretty strong now. The burn is wavy but I only had to get the lighter out once. I got threw the knot with no draw issues although the draw is a little tight for me but would most likely be perfect for anothers liking. The finish is starting to last a lot longer and is more of a medium finish now. The smoke is starting to warm up and a little pepper every now and then is coming out on the back of the palate the sweetness is holding slightly throughout the smoke.
3rd turn
The flavors are becoming a bit acrid and this smokes flavors is really starting to fall apart this is really disappointing since the smoke started out pretty good. I never had a smoke turn this bad this quick on me. I am about a hour in and I am laying this thing down with about a little over a inch and a half left.
note: I think I may have had a bad stick at the end here since it started out pretty good I will revisit this one to give it another shot its worth a try but I would not pay retail until I smoked a couple and make shore it will stay good the hole way through.
