Any of your brothers ever tried one of these smokes. I was working in an area today about 2 hours from home and drove past this little B&M..so I stopped in for a few minutes..looked around and picked a nub habano and this Gurkha Assassin. Dont know much about it but it looked interesting enough for me to pick up..any thoughts?

    You just stumbled onto a great cigar, bro. Nub Habano's my fav nub. But Gurkha Assassin? Drool. I got a great mix of rich spice, cinnamon, and dark chocolate. I'm going to have to revisit it since it's been a long time. Thanks to Stephen for giving me another. Might have to make it a staple in my humi along with the Man O' Wars and the Gurkha Centurian.

    Yeah, I thought the Assassin was pretty d*mned good, too. Mighta been better in a toro vitola, though. At least it would have lasted a little longer.

  • Spice, cinnamon, some cocoa, it's really dry and woody too. Great smoke, personally I really like the churchill.

    Man..just had to wipe the keyboard and reading your post. If I would have known all that when I was there I would have bought a few more : ) I will have to let you know what I think once I smoke it..im gonna let it rest in humi..but really looking forward to this one.

    Love the NUB Habano too...haven't tried the Assassin but heard it's one of their better ones.

    I've had 2 of them and didn't like them. But everyone seems to like them.
