Gurkha G3 Toro

This one great looking cigar. The wrapper is almost oscuro like, and very smooth. G3 stands for triple ligero so smelling the foot I could sense the spices on this baby. Construction looked good with no soft spots.

Once I put to light the great construction was even more evident as it to light easily and burned sharp and not too hot. The ash held on very nicelly and was of white color. Flavor wise you get hit with spices right away from the first puff and about an inch into it you know this is a power smoke.

As the cigar progressed he smoke mellowed out a bit but was still strong with plenty of flavor

I smoked this one below the band till about an inch was left. The interesting part is that I was excpecting to fill quite a buzz based on the name and the strength I got in the flavor, but I never got that hard hit which was nice to be honest.

So for those who like a strong cigar with plenty of flavor but don't want the kick that LFD or Antano will produce I reccomend you try this one, I think you will like it.

great to know... i have one of those in my box i've been wanting to try.

Dan, thanks to your review, i was inspired to go out and smoke that G3 tonight; and i must say, it was everything you described it to be... great smoke.

Glad you liked it :smiley20:

Putting this one on my "to-buy" list.

Great question I haven't had the ones you mentioned so perhaps someone who did can comment on that

I did a google search and from what I got out of it, I think the gurkha G3 was a limited release for the states and the K. hansotia X3 was put out for the european market. I had an X3 last night and it was great. Based on my experience last night and your review, its possible that they could be the same.

Why didn't you drop one in my sampler... :smiley6:

I gotta try one of these smokes now.

Great review. :smiley20:
