Newbie Review #12 Ghurka Expedition

[chefchris]

just suck it in to the back of your throat, just past your tongue, and just kinda push it up, like a backwards swallow. haha, it's hard to explain. i've known how to do it for years, but up until now it was only for cool points. once you start doing this, it really brings out the flavors and aromas. like i said, i've known how to, but it wasn't until cls515 explained to me that it helps in tasting did i start doing it with cigars. hope this helps. it will rekindle your love for smoking.

and no, i don't inhale.

I only inhaled once.

Hey Dru, I am gonna try that expedition you gave me, and I will post a review
BTW, I liked the Salazar. I've been hoarding again. I have a bunch of yard gars and for some reason I always grab one of those, and not a nicer one, maybe so I can still see the nice ones, alive and well in the humidor.
Anyway, tonight the expedition sees the flame

That's going to take practice, but I got it a couple of times. Yeah, you can pick up more flavors that way. But it does sting a bit.

Cool, Thanks!

Last night I finally smoked the Expedition. It was a nice smoke. Nice aroma. Kind of grassy to me, but in a good way. Mild body, medium flavor, it got tastier towards the end. Lots of smooth smoke. Perfect burn. I nubbed it.
Thanks again man.

allllright dru, at long last i'm smoking mine, its about 5x50ish not sure exactly

i'm typing as i smoke

ergh lighting didn't go well as my matches got damp from a lot of rain lately, but alls good now

about 1 inch into it and the ash is still holding strong, the draw is a bit tighter than my last few but nothing bad, it is very mild and i'm enjoying it a lot

i'm guessing the lack of smoke in yours was caused by the wind because i'm getting plenty, i had to turn the air purifier on haha

i'm about half way through and the smoke just got a bit creamier and easier on my nose while blowing out. this thing is definately the mildest i've smoked, but has pretty good flavor

getting to about the last inch and i'm getting a bit more flavor, a toastiness is how i like to describe it, i think its about time to let this guy die tho cause its a bit harsh

i really liked this cigar, it was nice and smooth with a lot of smoke and a perfect burn, i'm surei'll get a few more in the future

on a side note, this was my first review so pardon the noobiness

-boom

Hey, great review!

I'm going to have to smoke one on the deck where it's not so windy. But we're getting a ton of cold rain today. Also, my smoking has been moving more towards pipes than cigars lately. With a pipe I don't need to commit an hour or so to a smoke. But I have next week off* so I'll probably have a few then.

*Yeah, next week is off, but as a music teacher if my students don't come in then I don't get paid.
