    Hello everyone! We had a great cigar thread on the other forum, so I thought we could start one here. :thumb: I know a few of my bros that came from VTCoA like a good cigar.... so, is there anyone else here that enjoys a smoke, now and again? If so, POST UP! We would love to hear of new brands and styles! Oh, and pics are always good too (to add substance to the review). :bigwink:

    So, SMOKE 'EM IF YA GOT 'EM!!! And tell us about it! :thumb:

    Copied from another thread:

    Eddie sent me a few samples and I smoked one...here is the review:

    OK...Gurkha's from Eddie...

    Very light is my initial comment. While I am not an expert at all, it seemed like the kind of cigar that if you wanted to puff away on a Sunday morning with a cup of coffee. Mild, mild, mild.

    Very nice taste, bold but not harsh (I expected harsh but not at all).

    Nice size, not too big but, he who carries it makes a statement, comfortable to hold, medium dark appearance and an exotic muted band.

    It smoked pretty quickly (may have had something to do with the 40 degree temp in my garage...)

    Burns strangely...seems to burn slower in the middle of the roll than on the outer edges, not so much as to be a problem, but when it is time to kick the ash to the floor, it does leave a red cone about a half inch long at the tip. As it began to wane, the outer wraps frayed a little when the burn approached the band...the ash was superficially light grey with a darker interior...

    All in all, a very pleasant experience. Nice little kick, pleasant lingering aroma, and a draw that was effortless.

    The smoke was so light that it was tempting to inhale...but as Tim always says...never ever inhale...

    The band says: K. Hansotia, Estate Selection.

    The shape...hmmm...tubular (about 7/8 inch), no taper, but with a ragged burn end. The external wrapper stops about 3/4 of an inch before the wrapped leaves end.

    I likeeee!

    Not too hard, I can make a "Sample Pack" out of them!


    Say 4 of each kind of Gurkha for $128 ? That's a $68 savings! ;)
