Gurkha Titan … WOW!

Best Smoke I have had … ever! Combined with a Heineken slowly sipped I smoked the Titan for just over an hour and 15 minuets. It lit well from a single match and burned and drew effortlessly and evenly for a good long while. I purchased it on Valentines Day from a shop on Hwy 70 in Havelock NC. My wife and I took the day and just headed in a different direction. Being a great gal my wife noticed the shop and suggested that I treat my self to a few high end stogies. This of course required no more coaxing on her part and I did just that and purchased a small variety of sticks that I had never tried before. All were excellent, however; the other day while warm and sunny I pulled the easy chair out and sat under Carolina blue skys. I watch the horses while sipping my brew and enjoying, well beyond my expectations, the Gurkha Titan. I don’t have the literary knack of description or gift of gab to say “it was leathery with hints of nuts and sassafras root” or such things I often read. What I can say is I just purchased a box of 15 more with a huge dent in my budget, and I’m happy about it, because it was just that good!

    Sounds good. I wasn't entirely impressed with the Titan, but I have two more that I'll sit on for a while and try later, maybe I'll like them more than I thought with some extra time on them.

    iduno... i havent had a titan in quite some time. since i have started to move to smaller cigars i have a feeling that i may think that this one will not have the roundness or complexity that i am looking for. i know i cant judge a cigar simply by its wrapper to filler ratio but its hard not to when you have a cigar of that magnitude...

    i do have one in the humi. maybe the first day its warm enough outside ill fire it up and report back in my catalog.

    I had one back in January. Not a bad smoke but not my favorite either. With that being said, if I needed a few I would probably buy them. Not bad enough to NOT want to smoke though.

    I like the titan, i usually include one of em or a beast in my bombs. Gotta have a lot of time to kill though.

    I think you sent me one of the two... =)

    I like the titan as well. Thanks to urbster I have a few more now. Have you tried the titan 2? Also does your shop have any beast boxes? or could you get one? I need a BEAST BOX... eh..

    There is a Gurkha event this friday at my B&M...I will be trying my first Gurkha there, they have been waiting patiently in my humi. I may have to pull out the Titan since y'all have peaked my interest.

    hey andy, can you see if there is any empty gurkha beast boxes there?

    yeah i can check but owners were talking about them already, a lot of people want them because they are so nice, the other half of the Gurkha company is apparently in the jewelry biz and thats where te boxes come from
