Tyler,
This was a review I did on C-Bid. I am a huge Gurkha fan but will only buy them at certain price points. Gurkha makes some remarkable cigars and at this special price, this is one of them. I just got 2 mazos delivered to me today of this special. Here's the review..................
Let me start by saying that I am a huge Gurkha fan. I have smoked the Grande Torpedo and the Churchill and I am very impressed with the flavor they produce. I think the "X-Fuerte" in the name may be a bit misleading since I did not consider these to be an overpowering cigar or for that matter, anywhere near full bodied. The persistent flavor throughout the whole smoke was a toasty/woody flavor and one that I enjoy very much. No spicy hints or leathery aftertastes. They do seem to burn more quickly than other Gurkhas in this size range. This may be due to a slightly looser roll...I'm not sure, but the volume of smoke is very satisfying. They burn more on the cool side also and keep a nice burn throughout although I have had to touch them up once in a while. To be brutally honest, I'm not sure I would be pleased if I had to pay $10 or more for them, but at the current price range, these are, IMHO, one of THE BEST BUYS around.
