Thread: What cigar did you smoke today?

Will not be restocking this particular Gurkha.

I have only ever enjoyed one Gurkha ever. The Dagger I think it was... I don't know why?

From my sons birth. Rocky Patel Its a boy! US Connecticut I believe. Been blending in the large humidor in between some maduros for over a year now. Smooth smoke, I prefer maduro and Sumatra blends but its a good smoke, and its definitely the best its a boy around lol

Lol!! I could be smoking a bunch of fall leaves rolled up in a piece of newspaper and loving it if it was a "its a girl or it's a boy" cigar!!

CONGRATS!!!! WOOOOOT!!

Edit... Ok I read your post correctly lol. Sorry - great idea blending lol!

I've had a number of the Gurkha Cellar Reserve...I can say they are a fantastic stick, just need to shop a bit as some places charge an arm and a leg for them.

I'll have to keep an eye out for their 'Dagger'...!

Cheers!

Either way, they are a very good stick!

I enjoyed (!very much!) a Daruma Monstro (5 x 60) by Room 101 on the ride into work this morning!

My cigar monger brought me onto this particular stick and I was immediately blown away by the aroma, a very complex mild spice notes.

Despite a lousy light (my torch ran out...!) it managed to correct itself and gave a consistent even burn. The draw was easy even with a modest cut, yet the ash was quite tight...!

At no point was there any harshness to this stick...nothing but medium spice notes throughout, I was more than a little disappointed when I finally had to bin it.

Will be buying this again, many of them!

My first post on this thread as it's only the third cigar of my life. A Don Tomas Maduro. Think it's a robusto. I'm not sure if "delicious" is a word usually used of cigars but it tastes amazing. Woody, earthy, peppery, nutty, occasional hints of leather. Wish I'd done this years ago. I've got about two inches of ash on the end of it, which I'm told shows its quality.
