Smoked: Gurkha Beauty

Smoked at: NW NJ

I posted several months ago about my new found respect for Gurkha cigars. I purchased a 12 cigar sampler and have been smoking them throughout the year. Each cigar in this sampler has been a winner. I started buying 5 and 10 packs of the ones I enjoyed after smoking them. This one is the Beauty (Black Beauty Claro). It weighs in at 6.5X58 with a Connecticut wrapper from Ecuador, binder from the Dominican Republic and filler from Nicaragua.. Mild to medium with notes of leather and some nuttiness. Creamy smoke texture and beautiful construction. This was a good choice to start my Monday with. Gurkha cigars are definately back in my wheel house.
