Gurkha Cigars Shaggy
Ranked in our Best Cheap Cigars Under $5 GuideNamed for its rough-cut, unfinished shaggy foot that allows smokers to taste the binder and filler first, Gurkha Shaggy is handcrafted in the Dominican Republic. Sourced from all-Dominican tobaccos, this medium-bodied cigar delivers classic rustic balance, treating the palate to seasoned wood, rich earth, baking spices, floral perfume, and warm toast.

Gurkha Estate Select Vintage Shaggy XO
Cigar Aficionado · Dec 1, 2012
A bit soft to the touch, this cigar has an uncut foot with protruding filler tobacco. It's an earthy, nutty smoke with a woody finish.

Starting into the Gurkha Shaggy Vintage, I had somewhat high hopes. The cold draw ever so faintly had some characteristics of a Cuban Fonseca, which was surprising and a little intriguing. Moving on to the lit profile, the rich spice and pepper led what was a mostly interesting group of flavors, with the one nagging exception of the light sour note. Unfortunately, the tight draw, combined with the harsh and sour notes growing as I progressed through the cigar, really put a damper on my enjoyment, and in the end I doubt I will revisit this cigar again any time soon. I think the most frustrating part of the Shaggy is that underneath all that was a good profile that wanted to get out. The notes were there, but they just couldn’t work past the glaring problems. If you have fond memories of the original Shaggy release, which I never got to try, then I would say go ahead and pick up one of the new ones to try for yourself. Past that, it’s probably one of Gurkha’s blends that I would skip and move on to one of their other offerings.

Today I pulled out a cigar I haven’t had in about a year. Once I pulled this one out, I realized how much I missed this one. This one was the Gurkha Vintage Shaggy Maduro. With all of the focus around the new IPCPR 2010 releases, I think its good once in a while to […]
