Gurkha Black Dragon

This is it. The Black Dragon.

This cigar is wonderfully made with a nice, soft, oily Maduro wrapper. Made with a Connecticut Maduro Wrapper, Cameroon Binder, Dominican Filler, this cigar sounded like it would be a great smoke.

The first puff gave me a nice earthy flavor. Behind this is a nice hint of spice. Almost like peppermint. Has a very subtle sweetness to it. The aftertaste is very coffee like. Rich with a mild spice. Starts with a mild nuttiness and ends with the spice. Coffee in the middle is just a bonus.

The draw and burn on this smoke are wonderful. Easy draw and an even burn. This produces and nice white ash.

The price is $25, plus tax. The price is steep, but it does not hurt this smoke much. If you are a Maduro smoker, and are celebrating something, this is an A+ cigar. For the average smoker, it goes down, but not much.

Final Grade: A
