Review Notes: First, I'm not sure if this was a Titan I or II. I ordered one of each and they look identical. This cigar looks great, but had wrapper issues. I ended up with several splits; however, the binder held and I didn't get any major burn issues from it. The flavors include a nice chocolate and develop some slight leather and tobacco halfway through. I packed a little punch also. Gurkhas aren't worth the retail for me, but if you can get them cheap go for it.

Review Notes: Great smoke that seem to last for hours. Sweet flavors of chocolate. The aroma was very nice.

Review Notes: This review is actually for the TITAN II. Top 5 most delicious cigars. When you think of the flavor on some of the world’s best cigars, this is what you envision. Awesome dark oily wrapper, classy Gurkha band. My problem is that I have never smoked a Gurkha, besides the micro batch, with an easy draw and perfect burn. Although this was only slightly off. I would never pay msrp, but I was lucky enough to get 2 in a sampler, and I will now age the second for at least a year.

Review Notes: As with 3:5 Gurka cigars I've smoked, the label was glued to the wrapper. After carefully removing the label to save as much damage as possible, it is apparent that this is a well rolled cigar. The wrapper itself is almost black in places. It is a strong, spicy smoke with little if any subtleties. It draws smoothly and provides ample smoke. Rich, hearty, and peppery. Evenly burning the entire length. Average flavored, nothing jaw dropping, but certainly not a dog. I'd not place this in a once a week cycle. For the retail price, I'd not purchase again. But with the consistent and constant Gurka deals, I might would pick up a 5 pack.

Review Notes: I have smoked many different Gurkha blends and have to say this was the fullest aside from the Royal Brigade. Not kick your teeth in full, but definitely full bodied. With that fullness comes very rich and dark earthy flavors with just enough of a sweetness to balance everything out. Construction wise it looked great, had a perfect draw, but burned off the duration. Fortunately it had my top-2 things going for it; great draw and great flavor. I wasn't irritated with the torch maintenance here and there because the delivery and taste were so wonderfully balanced and it had a great armoa to boot. I didn't really notice anyone else with burn issues so consider that because I only had the one. This cigar is what I anticipated when I smoked the X-Fuerte only to find mild-med. A great offering from K. Hansotia and Co.
