First of all, I'm a big Gurkha fan as it is. I buy just about every time CI puts a special online. This is one of those times that I wish I had bought more than what I did. I ordered up 12 of these for about $3-4 a piece. They are now closer to $8 a piece I think.
They burn pretty even, the draw is pretty good even with a small cut. Very oily. The wrapper is a little spicy on the lips, even pre-light. It smokes a little spicy thu the whole gar, but sometimes you don't even notice it under the other flavors in this thing. There are a lot of nutty, coffe flavors in it. The aftertaste gives me a coffee with a lot of creamer type of taste. At times you can get even a chocolaty taste. I smoked another one down to the nubbin last night.
My only bitch about these, is that twice now, they have over-glued the bottom wrapper. This causes the wrapper to tear somewhat... which makes it get even worse once the cigar gets warm. I fooled with both of them so that they didn't get too bad, but still smoked fine.
