Amber/Brown ash?

[strife]

A guy at work gives me a Gurkha to smoke on the way home today, it's a 20 minute ride so I light it up and it's not terrible so I decide to finish it at home after almost hitting a guard rail trying to blow smoke rings (another story, sorry). What kind of Gurkha is a mystery to me considering they produce a gajillion different kinds but I can tell you it was a toro, probably Connecticut wrapper with an orange colored band.

It was very sweet almost artificially so and when I examined the ash I noticed that the edge where the binder and wrapper burned appeared normal in color but the center had amber/brown patches. What gives with this? Any ideas?

From the Gurks I've tasted I assume that the the dog whose canine turd they stuffed into the filler had had some candy that morning to give it that sweet tatse!:barf:

I have no answer to the different color ash other then I really do not care what the ash looks like. If you like them buy more of them. Smoke what you like and like what you smoke.

Heres a pretty good article what the ash can tell about a cigar....

Actually didn't really care for it enough to warrant buying some. The Gurkha line is interesting in that for a "Boutique" brand they sure as hell mass market product! I can honestly say that I've only appreciated about 10% of what I've tried.
