Gurkha Havana Legend Toro (2017)

This relaunched Gurkha Havana Legend might not be the most complex cigar you'll smoke, but it does offer a surprising amount of high points, particularly via the aroma and when the cigar picks up the all too fleeting moments of sweetness. While it's fairly linear on the flavor side, it does mix in a few zigs and zags to keep it from being monotonous, and at the end of the day, it checks almost all of the boxes I look for in a cigar. For $6, you could do a lot worse than the Gurkha Havana Legend, and even for a good bit more as well. If you're locked into the Gurkha stereotype, it might be hard to sell you on this blend's merits, but if you aren't stuck on that hangup, you should find yourself quite pleased by this blend.

Overall, it was an average experience and the burn was quite a bit of a turn off. I'm not sure I'd revisit this one even if the burn was better though the floral perfume note was a nice touch for the flavor profile.
