Tasting notes

The Gurkha Cellar Reserve 15 Years Prisoner captivates you from the very first glance with its stunning presentation. Its dimensions of 177.8 mm (7") with a diameter of 21.4 mm (⅞") reveal a cigar with a shiny and almost oily texture. The wrapper, a rich dark brown, is meticulously crafted, promising a refined smoking experience.

Upon lighting, a first olfactory contact of indulgence asserts itself with aromas of oak and spices that invite tasting. Gradually, notes of damp earth and leather emerge, enriching the aromatic palette. The initial puffs unveil an interesting complexity, where the fragrance evolves into sweeter nuances of fruit, reminiscent of a juicy orange.

On the palate, the cigar unfolds harmoniously across its three thirds. The development begins with spices and herbal notes, transitioning to hints of cocoa and fruit. With each draw, the creamy texture of the smoke envelops the palate, subtly engaging the salivation. As the tasting progresses, you will experience a balance between the sweetness and the masculinity of the aromas, making each moment of smoke unique.

The finish is equally captivating, with a mouthfeel that combines a slight bitterness and a residual sweetness. The length is medium, allowing for a notable sense of balance between the strength and sweetness of the aromas. What makes this cigar particularly unique is its ability to maintain a constant complexity throughout the journey.

For an ideal moment, savor this cigar during a quiet evening, accompanied by a glass of rum or a whiskey with peaty notes, which will beautifully complement the rich aromas of the Gurkha Cellar Reserve 15 Years Prisoner.
