Price definitely attached me to purchase (5) of these. However, price ($4.52 at purchase) in this case does indicate quality. Poor draw, poor construction, with wrapper unravelling as I was smoking. One dimensional in taste. Meh! Perhaps the next time I light one up will prove differently.

Obvioudly the price is inviting and with it being a Gurkha, I had thought there would be a certain level of quality but was I ever wrong. As I am always in favor of a good brand having a cheaper cigar for a daily smoke through the week, I am shocked that Gurkha would ever offer this under their name.

I order 5 since I like to experiment with cheap cigars. This cigar was easy to draw, lots of smoke, burned well, no wrapper unravelling and I smoked it until the end. It was consistent. It is a mild to medium at best. Light bouquet of vanilla and coffee but not intense in flavor. I think it’s worth smoking another one and maybe more.

I understand that everyone has a different palate and personal preference but for me, this is a great cigar for the price. I have tried several other brands in the same price range and they don’t compare. I had no issue with the draw or wrapper coming undone, etc. It is a smooth/light smoke with a pleasant aftertaste of spicy vanilla. I paired with a coffee so not sure if that note came through.

Great cigar , I would say it’s mild not mild-medium but I wouldn’t complain at all , burns perfect , no cracks , wrapper stayed tight to the end . Remember people these are cigars! It could cost $3 or 30$ You may smoke one and love it and the next is falling apart and you hate it and can’t get a draw, that’s why I pick my cigars from the flavours when smoked.Each and every one has their own characteristics. Especially when they’re hand rolled! Light one up and enjoy!

Great for a mild/medium cigar (properly humidified) as most cigars regardless of price will not be good otherwise
