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.

Gurkha Evil
This cigar was a gift, and a great gift. Thank you again Steve and Lea.
This has a Brazilian Wrapper, Dominican Binder, Nicaraguan Filler. This cigar is well constructed and has a nice oily wrapper.
This cigar has a good amount of spice. The spice is subtle, yet strong. There is a slight earthy flavor underneath which compliments the spicy flavor. It starts being more noticeable about half way through. Also you can get hints of creamy and sweet, but very little. The spice clouds it
The burn and draw on this cigar was great. Perfect puffs.
The aftertaste has spice and a little bit of nuttiness. The spice stays with you in a very mild fashion.
The downside is the earthy flavor. It would seems better if it was from the start. Though with change in flavor can add new experiences with each puff. So, the downside can be an upside too. But, I think it would have been better with a more constant flavor.
This smoke is around $10-$12 (I had the robusto). For the price this smoke is worth a shot. It is spicy and full flavor, so take it slow. This would be good on a cold day. Warm you right up.
It was a great gift. Thank you again Steve and Lea.
