Gurkha Regent

Dark, full, tight but good. Long burner. Mellow buzz.




From Cigars International:

Gurkha Regent was a labor of love for K. Hansotia and the Torano family. This milky smooth Honduran handmade offers gorgeous, dark Honduran wrappers that have a redolent, silken feel. The smoke delivers a panoply of toasty, leathery, medium-bodied flavors. It’s been called one of the tastiest Gurkhas you can find. All at prices unmatched in the cigar industry.

Cigar Aficionado rated Gurkha Regent a stunning ’90’, equaling Fuente Opus X and outscoring many other top brands:"This rich brown cigar burns evenly, with a fine draw. It’s elegant and balanced, with black cherry flavors, notes of sweet spice and a long, leathery finish. Smooth."

In addition, Regent has been named one of the year’s Top 50 Cigars.

Gurkha Park Avenue (second 1/2)

Smoked the second 1/2 of the Gurkha that I started yesterday. Still nice even though it was a day old.




From Cigars International:

Superior quality and precision blending combine in this astounding value from Gurkha. Blended to perfection under the strictest standards by K. Hansotia of Gurkha Cigars. The “Rolls Royce of Cigars,” Park Avenue is a savory cigar appreciated by all palates. Handmade in Nicaragua, the blend consists of well-aged Cuban-seed long-fillers grown in the black soils of Nicaragua and lush tobaccos from the Cibao Valley of the Dominican Republic. On the outside, a flawless Connecticut-seed wrapper grown in Ecuador seals the deal, adding a pleasant, creamy component to an already complex bouquet. The smoke is leathery, with hints of nuts and baked bread, and remains smooth with a medium-bodied profile down to the nub.

Second cigar of the day. I think that this was the one that I smoked on the boat when we went out for an evening swim on our second to last night on Diamond Lake. I even tried to smoke the last few inches while swimming but my wife splashed me until it went out and I had to pitch it. I thought this was a great smoke, and another one that I wish I had taken better notes on.
