Big & Stinky -- Gurkha 8 year Legend Churchill Review

[SIZE=4]Dont let the title fool you, i LOVE these things.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4][/SIZE]
[SIZE=4][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Vitals:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Brand: Gurkha[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Build: Legend
Size: Churchill
Cost: 7.00
Drink: Gin & Tonic
[/SIZE]



[SIZE=3]Backstory:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]I love Gurkhas. Ever since i smoked my first one a month ago. they are quality. Last night i had the chance to somke one and review it. I love these cigars, i just can't say it enough.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Checkin' in:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Firsties!!:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Th aroma is amazing, the taste is rich. The ash is as white as snow with an orange underglow, it's so intimate. I just love holding the cigar next to my face and feeling the heat while i breath in the aroma.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][/SIZE]





The Draw is amazing, the flavor is rich... not intense, just rich. Again, the aroma is tantelizing ad i really love just sitting there holding this rig. I notice the oily wrapper, it' so consistent. The burn did split and get out of control...






So the burn was a little off. But you know what... DIDNT MATTER.. This thing tastes beautiful, The cedary cinnamon aroma matched with the mouthfulls of rish white smoke will keep the smoker entertained. The cigar is rolled very well and as emphasized before, the draw is perfect!




The burn evened out, and the wrapper started t come undone. Dont know why, this is usually somehting that i have not found to happen to alot of gurkhas in my short time of chiefing them down. I really am not very concerned because i am anjoying it, and thats all that matters.


Ending:

The cigar really heats up, the draw is wide open and you really taste the flavor coming out with every large draw. The aroma is as consistent as it was when it was initially lit. I urge everyone to try one of these, they are truly a delight.






CLIFFS:
1. Burn was uneven
2. Aroma is amazing
3. ash as white as snow
4. Taste is robust



--- Go buy one!!!!

Re: Big & Stinky -- Gurkha 8 year Legend Churchill

I dislike almost all the gurkhas that I have tried but this was an exception. A great smoke with rich buttery smooth flavors. Thanks for the review!

Re: Big & Stinky -- Gurkha 8 year Legend Churchill

Nice review, not a huge Gurkha fan but might have to try one of these.

I liked the class regents I have and I have another gurkha aging right now. I'll have to pick one of these up as well.

I'll smoke the Legend, but I will not smoke any other blend. The Legend is 10x better than anything else Gurkha makes.

Re: Big & Stinky -- Gurkha 8 year Legend Churchill

I suppose I'm one of the rare few on this board that has enjoyed "most" of the Gurkhas I've sampled. The Triple Ligero, G3, Expeditions and Black Puros are some of my favorites.

I'll definitely have to give these a try.

Re: Big & Stinky -- Gurkha 8 year Legend Churchill

One of my favs! Didn't start off as one though. I tend to let mine rest for about three months before I spark one up.

Re: Big & Stinky -- Gurkha 8 year Legend Churchill

Some people really like these and some don't.
If I recall correctly Tom(icehog3) loves them. I am pretty sure he did a picture review of one also.

Ah yes, here it is...[SIZE="4"]icehog3's Gurkha review with pics![/SIZE]

I thought you may get a kick out of that. I don't think they are all that bad, just over-priced. Would be excellent 2 - 4 dollar sticks.
