Gurkha Legend

[Pwnstar590]

This was a cedar wrapped robusto. Gurkha's robusto is apparently a 6incher 50 ring. A whole inch longer than what I typically smoke.

It smelled sweet, and cedary, since it was cedar wrapped. For some reason the cedar wrap had the smell of cinnamon, however I didn't detect that in the smoke itself. I also remembered the prelight draw, which all I can describe as a sweet tobacco taste. the draw was very nice and followed suite with what I like.

the first taste was a bit odd, not bad, just strange. Then it turned to a nice smooth taste with a bit of spiciness at the end, which is also something I enjoy. Oddly enough I picked up the woody cedar taste well past what the wrap covered. I expected the cedar taste to appear right away, but it didn't appear until about half or 2/3rds of the way in. This was the first smoke i actuaklly detected a change of taste in throughout the smoke. I enjoyed this aspect very much.

It also kicked my ass. I don't know if it was suppsoed to or not, as I didn't have a whole lot for dinner tonight.

Would I buy it again? definately. It was pricey compared to what I usually buy at 7.50 a stick. If I could find them slightly cheaper I'd definately be more inclined to smoke it more often. Not that it wasn't worth the price.

Edit-I forgot to say this was a beautiful stick. I was jsut looking aorund for something new, heard good things, and as soon as I picked it up and held it in the Light I had to buy it. Construction was A+ as well.
