Not sure exactly what it was...but it was a Ghurka!

as you can pefectly see.

either way, for my first ghurka stick ever, i thoroughly enjoyed it. burn was a little off at first, but then regulated quickly. as for the actual smoke; the draw was fine, could have been a bit more loose for my taste, but what really stood out to me was the flavor.

to start, it wasn't very appealing, but after a few puffs down, it was very smooth. i can't place my finger on it, but the taste was very familiar, not spicey, a bit sweet, and it lingered in my mouth but in a good way.

i have another ghurka currently in my humi that's maybe a bit smaller, but with i'd say a 58 ring or so!



you can see it in this picture...5th from the right.

Nice review and a good looking collection. You might consider seperating your dark sticks from your mild sticks so there's no "mingling" of the sticks...could rub off a strange mix onto the wrappers. Just a thought.

Those are some pretty pictures!

I should have ate breakfast before visiting CS this morning LOL

I buy a lot of Ghurka's off the devil site. There are so many variations I have a very tough time keeping straight what I have / have not smoked...

erd:

i can tell the difference between a legend and a regent or whatever...but that's about it.

Gurkha connie maybe??? Hard to tell since they use this same band on a few of their lines.

Looks like an Expedition to me. That's a fine smoke!

Expeditions have a second band that say expedition on them.
