Gurkha Rare Edition Estate Blend - Italian Cream Ventian

Gurkha Rare Edition Estate Blend - Italian Cream Ventian (coffee review)
This is my first coffee review so please bare with me.
You got it, the Rolls Royce of Cigars, Gurkha has mastered a perfect line of premium coffees.
The italian cream comes in a glossy bag contributed with Gurkhas warm colors, yellow and orange.The Gurkha unique coffee beans are said to be carefully selected from the most exotic regions of the world.

The fresh aroma that seaps through the bag of coffee is rich in a familiar smell of irish cream. Each cup of coffee delivers a fresh, rich taste of cream. It is a morning a treat and perfect start to any day. It has a pungeunt smell of italian cream. It kind of over powers the taste of the coffee beans but I was not disappointed.

Gurkha Symphony Limited Edition

Gurkha Symphony Limited Edition
These super-premium cigars are only available to a very limited number of connoisseurs worldwide. The finished cigars are aged two years in the company humidor, enhancing the refinement and harmonizing the tobaccos. The Gurkha Symphony are available in three shapes, the Robusto, Churchill and Torpedo. I have had the the Gurkha Symphony torpedo. It had a very elegant black and silver label. The wrapper is a Connecticut shade leaf, with Dominican binder and Nicaraguan filler. It has a mild to medium flavor. This is a limited edition cigar that was purchased from a Gurkha representative.The taste was very smooth, creamy and toasty with a hint of cocoa. It was right up there with my Gurkha Beauty. It reminds me of an AVO brand with its smooth and creamy flavor. This is a great cigar! Gurkha does it for this girl all the time!

Gurkha Master Select

Gurkha Master Select
As I stated before, I have never had a bad cigar by Gurkha. The quality is impeccable. This cigar is very smooth, medium to full bodied cigar. The flavor was dreamy and I couldn't help but wonder when I will take the time to have another one of these. Way to go, Gurkha.

Considered the Rolls Royce of Cigars, Gurkha has done it again. I am a big fan of the Gurkha collection. I was instantly impressed with the smoothness of this cigar. It had a hint of sweetness, a nice tight roll and an overall heavenly presentation. This was pure enjoyment .

I highly recommend Gurkha's collection of cigars. They are truly unique and luxurious. I have not experienced a bad smoke with any Gurkha cigar. This was truly an esquisite cigar. I tried the Churchill which was 7 x 48, a perfect length. This unique cigar has a signature frayed edge which is where the name Shaggy comes from. It was so smooth contributing to an intoxicating flavor and aroma. Very nice Here is a picture.

Gurkha BEAUTY

Gurkha BEAUTY
This is would be my favorite cigar. I lit up the very first time I saw the cigar. It has a frosty tube casing and a gold screw-on cap to compliment this Beauty. And if that wasn't enough, their is a long piece of wood to dress the cigar , a wide gold label and another label that is black and silver that says"BEAUTY" How hot is that? I love it. This cigar is running neck to neck with the Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 for me. It is so smooth and delicious. I am in love with the width. This is the widest cigar I have ever had. I think I am going nuts dreaming about this cigar. It's ring is a 58 opposed to other cigar widths that are about a 50 to a 55. The length is 6.5 inches. So this cigar is a keeper in my book. I have to warn you, they run kind of pricey and they can be limited in stock. It also has a nice creamy caramel color to it. It is very elegant and nice. This cigar is a follow up of Gurkha's BEAST. So I will be trying the BEAST next! Here is a picture of this wonderful dream.

I really enjoyed this cigar. I like the unique shape. It was shaped like a turpedo on both ends. It reminded me of an oversized blunt. Even though I do not smoke that stuff. But it was kind of cool because it made me feel like I was being a really bad girl. The cigar was mellow, had a nice flavor. I did not feel like I was choking on the smoke. This is one of the very few Gurkha cigars that did not come with a fancy label. So the entire experience felt raw and natural. Click here for the picture of the cigar

I think I want to try every cigar by Gurkha. The collection is esquisite. The Legend's wrapper and dressing is nice. I really enjoyed it. But this is the tightest rolled cigar I have smoked. This cigar was a struggle for me but it was worth the challenge. It lasts forever and its a bit strong but I would love to come back for more. I am interested in trying their Beauty sometime soon.

Gurkha Grand Reserve

Gurkha Grand Reserve
When I first heard the story of this cigar, I knew I had to try one. I held out on smoking this cigar because of its significance. The Gurkha Grand Reserve is infused with Remy Martin Louis XIII cognac. A single bottle of this cognac sells for about $1,200. That was enough to sell me. Where other cigar makers may dip the cigar or tobaccos in cognac, this is infused in cognac three times. The cigar wrapper is sweet and immediately at the first puff, you can taste the cognac! I was like, wow. Normally, I may punch my cigars but this cigar had to be cut to truly enjoy the remarkabilty. These cigars are individually placed in a glass tube case and sealed with a wax cap. Gurkha is considered the Rolls Royce of Cigars and it truly lives up to its name with its rarity, uniqueness, individuality and quality. I can not help to feel like it is a special occasion when I smoke one of Gurkha's collections. The Gurkha Grand Reserve has been given 4 hearts for uniqueness and esquisiteness. Although I was not truly sold with the flavor, everything else sold me from the process of making this cigar, to its case.
