First Third: This is my first Ghurka Cigar. Nice sweet tobacco flavor but it soes not seem to have any hints of flavor right off the git go. Nice taste and not harsh.

Nice white grey ash that holds up for an inch plus. The first ash fell off at 1/4 of an inch because I got a little rough with it.

Here you can see the I have started my ash tray by tacking the parts together with solder. Looks like it will be a nice one.

Second Third: Starting to develop a little black pepper flavor. (very nice) A little tingly on the tongue but still over all mild to medium body and taste. Not harsh.

Last Third: More of the same as the 2nd -third. Had to relight a few times due to my unattentiveness. Ash tray is looking good. I have to say that this was a nice stick for me. I am curious about trying other Ghurkha's and I would call this a good first experience with their cigars.

Total time to smoke 2 hours. Again because I was busy.

I rate this cigar at a 75 on my scale. Would like to smoke another one.

I am happy with how the ash tray turned out. I will be offering a trade on this one, so if you are interested keep your eyes open for an announcement in the "exchange" section of the forum. Thanks. Roger.

You better copyright 'Pepalese.' The Ghurka people will see that and steal it for their next "premium boutique" blend.

Cool ashtray btw.

Those are some great looking ashtrays! Very creative. Another Ghurkha you might like to try is the double maduro, it's one of my favorite Ghurkha cigars.

Hefty, thanks for pointing that out. I don't suppose there is a way to edit the title of my post? And you never know, I might just have to copyright that. LOL Roger.

Nice looking ashtray Roger! Thanks for the review too.

Nice review.

Pepalese......that should be the name of your ashtray.........

I'm envious of your skills Roger...Nice review and nice glass work.

Great review brother, may have to order a few Ghurkha's next go round! Very creative idea for the ash tray too :smiley20:

The Nepalese Warrior is a pretty good smoke. I keep a bunch in the coolers, as CI & CBID have these on special a lot and so you can get em for a great price. They are one of the only Gurkha's that I will smoke regularly.

Wanted to include this with my review. Special thanks goes to Trav. PSU for the stick. Thanks!
