Gurka Evil

[W.B.]

I'm not sure how many will read this one based solely on the title, but if anyone has an interest here it is.

Gurka Evil Toro

Construction/Appearance-Medium brown and very uniform color. It's very firm and a strong looking and feeling cigar.

Burn/Draw- It has a very even burn and draw.

Flavor/Aroma-

Initial lighting-strong coffee with some off flavors bitter tart.

1/2- It has some licorice for a bit, then has some lighter coffee notes and a lot of sweetness, it's getting boring.

2/2- The flavors haven't changed apart from the sweetness transitions to a caramel flavor.

Burn time-1 hr. 10 min.

Overall-8.0/10 It didn't taste 'bad', but it had no bad qualities either.

good to see a gurkha review. I know a lot of people don't care for them. the ones i've had weren't bad just can never see me paying retail for them. may have to check this one out if i find it at a good price.

Nice review. I've never had one but will look into it. I'm with GoingPostal on the retail thing. Why pay more if it's not on your A list already. Hell, why pay retail if you can avoid it?:sadpace:

Thanks for the quick review. Not saying I would buy one but would smoke it if I got it given to me.

Great review!

These are written up as being real power-houses, yet every review I've read has said that they're actually closer to a regular old medium-to-full body, and that flavour-wise they leave much to be desired.

Huge band, too!

Thanks Brandon (and everyone) for the complement, your description is exactly the way I felt. But I do love trying cigars new to me.

I purchased a box of these not too long ago. The flavor all around was OK at best but nothing really to right home about. Not really an exciting smoke. I wish the flavors could be more pronounced throughout the smoke but I keep waiting for something to happen and nothing does.
