First off, just so you know the "Xtreme" of this cigar doesn't mean totally full flavored or harsh in any way. This 90 rated Gurkha is "Xtremely" flavorful! What I like about this perfectly made medium bodied stick is the great draw yielding a smooth array of a kind black licorice and cocoa taste. Tough to explain its uniqueness. If you're a Gurkha fan and haven't tried it, you really should. PS. The very cool space age box is a keeper! Origin - Nicaragua Filler - Nicaraguan Binder - Nicaraguan Wrapper Type - Nicaraguan
