Gurkha Masters Select |

|
Every cigar company has its master, the blend specialist behind the brand’s distinctive offerings. At Gurkha Cigars, the master is Carlos Torano. If you are a cigar lover who wonders what Torano considers the perfect smoke, then this contribution to the pursuit of perfection will be worth a try. The Gurkha Masters Select is a hand-rolled stogie that features wonderful tobaccos grown in the Cibao Valley of the Dominican Republic, which are blended with Dominican, Honduran, and Nicaraguan long fillers. The silky Dominican 2000 Habana wrapper holds the Masters Select Blend together, and gives the whole package a full-bodied, yet very smooth, taste. This limited edition cigar exudes luxury, beginning with its handsome packaging, wrapper, and label. The pleasure continues with each creamy puff. The cigar aficionado who is looking for a lavish smoke will appreciate the complex mix of spices which arise throughout the length of the stick. Never harsh or bitter, it is full-flavored, building a bit towards the final third of the cigar, and very aromatic. The burn may require a bit of attention, as it tends to be somewhat uneven. A small price to pay for a wonderful smoking experience. The Gurkha Masters Select comes in a variety of lengths, with the signature 6 X 60 heading the list, so there is one to please everyone’s style. Carlos Torana, one of the leading cigar blenders in the world, has these in his humidor. You may want to put a box of them in yours. A top-shelf cigar, the higher price is backed up by a world-class smoke. |
