Gurkha Micro Batch Liga VH-7 Cigar Review Video

[kaelaria]

This 6.50 box pressed stick offered a very soft silky dark chocolate wrapper, with a near perfect burn and great draw, on the loose side. Burn time to just past the band was 1:15 with the ash holding on right to the 1/2 way point, about 3″. The first half offered a good bit of earthy complexity, showing creamy smooth leather, bread, deep earth and a touch of pepper on the short clean finish. The 2nd half switched to a slightly sweet cocoa, with the creamy leather coming back at points. The draw loosened up a bit and it produced a good amount of smoke all the way down, although not as rich as you would expect from the volume. Thank you to Shuckins for the trade!

Thanks for the review! but after the last Gurkha I had I get green just thinking about lighting another.

 

[kaelaria]

Yeah I hear ya - it's hit and miss for me too.

Nice review! Gurkha get's a lot of flack, but honestly I've never had a "bad" one. Not usually "great" either, though some are (Nepalease Warrior come to mind). The last ones I had were the Blue Steel which was a nice chocolaty maduro and the Triple Ligero which had a really nice flavor (though not a strong or spicy stick like the name would suggest).

I smoked my first Gurhka the other day. I believe it was a Liga C-10 (not sure though, will check the band tonight). I thought it was a great smoke. Very smooth and consistant throughout. I look forward to trying more Gurhkas.

Great review. I'll have to try this Gurhka, most Gurhkas I have tried have been a pretty boring, one sided smoke.

I'm not a big Gurka fan, but love ligera blends. Need to try one.

I'm not a big fan of Gurhka I can take them or leave them but I liked this one alot.

I'm not a big Gurka fan, but love ligera blends. Need to try one.

Try the Triple Ligero as well. Not strong, buy realy nice flavor. Not too much complexity, as I find true with most Gurkhas, but I don't mind that as ling as I like the flavor.
