This is the first of six reviews from the Gurkha Empire Series and after round one I'm excited. A true medium bodied cigar with great balance. Composed of Nicaraguan and Peruvian ligeros wrapped in a Honduran Maduro wrapper. Slightly sweet on the finish accented with slight earthiness, more leathery, like an old boot. Great bready mouth feel. You can almost chew the flavors. I ashed this cigar only twice and smoked it for a solid hour and a half. Super balanced as you can only find nuances of the flavors rather than overbearing characteristics.
Aroma: 4.5/5
Flavor: 5/5
Draw: 5/5
Intensity: 4/5
Overall Balance: 4.5/5
Drink with: Canadian blended whiskey, aged Irish whisky, small batch Bourbons, middle weight Scotches (think Glenfiddich 15 or MacAllan 18)
