Gurkha Double Maduro ~ Toro

[badwhale]

Other’s Review (nobody yet)

Smoke: Gurkha Double Maduro ~ Toro (I think)
Drink(s): Yuengling Porter
Tunes: Nothing, just the hum of the exhaust fan

Wrapper: Costa Rica
Draw: Meduim thoughout
Burn: Uneventful
Misc: 90+ minutes Nose exhale exhibits mild to medium burn.

Pre-light: Very dark maduro wrapper (duh). Cedar sleve which imparts a cedar scent, mixed with a tobacco aroma. Not much on the prelight taste.



Light: Medium draw. Medium - strong nose exhale burn.

1st 3rd: Leathery. Good smoke volume. Oily. Slight hint of spice, not really pepper, and not overpowering. Some cedar flavor mixed in too. Pretty compicated flavors, but mixes all very nice, and is pretty smooth.



Ash: White / gray with tiny black specks. You can see where the veins have burned (black) Holds on for 1"



2nd 3rd: I think I'm going to move my "nose exhale" comment for the 2nd 3rd as it always seems more mellow at this point. Lots of the same flavors as described above, but have melded into a nice mellow conglomerate. There are hints of chocolate in there too. Very nice



3rd 3rd: Pretty much like the 2nd. Very cool burn. Very nice. Overall full flavor, and a medium body.



Overall impression: Very good. Score: high 80s
