Gurkha Nepalese Warrior ~ Toro

Roger's Review
Edgeman's Blog Review

Smoke: Gurkha Nepalese Warrior ~ Toro
Drink: Yuengling Bock Beer
Tunes: None

Wrapper: African Cameroon
Binder: Honduran
Filler: Honduran
Draw: Medium
Burn: Good
Misc: 60-90 minute smoke

Pre-light: Box pressed medium brown. Small veiny wrapper and nice looking construction. Musky tobacco scent. No prelight taste.



Light: Easy. Medium draw

1st 3rd: Spicey, but not overpowering with leather and some oil. Has a sweet tobacco flavor too. Nutty flavors too, like a walnut.



Ash: Light gray. Stacked well with black splotches throughout. Holds on for about 1 ¼”



2nd 3rd: Medium to light body and medium flavor. Oil and nutty. Less leather and spice. Still the sweet tobacco taste. I’m not overly impressed, but not by any stretch of the imagination is it bad.



3rd 3rd: Similar to the previous thirds. Oily and nutty. Maybe a tad on the bitter end now. Some leather still remaining.



Overall impression: Not my favorite Gurkha, but not bad.

Thank you Roger for this oppourtunity!

Great review Will, is that the same ashtray as the one Roger was making in his review? Cause if it is, you may have opened an interstellar wormhole...

No, no. It's not the same one. His review has a complete tray. He just made me a stand (which hooks right into my Porter ashtray by accident!)

Oh good, we don't want any wormhole issues right now...

I have one of these sticks resting in my humi, and a Bock in my fridge - if I could get my hands on one of Rogers ashtrays I could pull of the trifecta!

Awesome review Will as usual.

Funny you say that! I had spoken with roger some time ago about my interest in his crafty skills. I'll need to touch base with Roger to finalize details once I return from my trip.

Good review Will. At the time I posted my blog review I hadn't smoked many Gurkha's.
I now prefer the legends over the Nepalese but I still like it a lot. Good stick.
I have been really diggin' the Legend 1887.
