Gurkha Ghost Connecticut Asura

Halfwheel · May 21, 2023 · March 2023

The first two thirds of the Gurkha Ghost Connecticut Asura are almost the quintessential mild, approachable, very smokable cigar. Flavor is quite tame on my palate, with little bits of light pepper providing a gentle tingle on my taste buds. The final third sees things pick up a bit, almost as if the cigar knows it has gone easy thus far and wants to deliver a bit more flavor and stimulation, and that the smoker’s palate might well be ready for it. It’s not always the cleanest transition and outcome, but it is noticeable and keeps the cigar from being too linear. Construction is very good on the whole, though the fragility of the wrapper leaf figures to be an issue, either through it cracking on its own or when it comes time to remove the band, as it caused damage to all three samples. The Gurkha Ghost Connecticut Asura isn’t going to wow the palate with complexity or unique flavors, but for a mild, approachable and easygoing cigar, it seems to fit the bill quite well.

Gurkha Ghost Connecticut Shadow

Developing Palates · Jun 12, 2023 · March 2023

The Gurkha Ghost Connecticut Shadow stood out from the pack in the first third with interesting flavor combinations. Through the second and last thirds, the profile was more in line with a standard Connecticut Shade offering. I think the Gurkha Ghost Connecticut Shadow offered an above average flavor profile for a Connecticut Shade blend, with a price point that's fairly attractive for the 2023 market.
