Tasting notes

The Gurkha Special Edition Warlord features a Nicaraguan wrapper, with a generous size of 171.5 mm (6¾") in length and a diameter of 23.8 mm (⅞"). In hand, the texture of the cigar is smooth and well-constructed, and its silky appearance invites ignition. The brown hues of the wrapper add to its visual elegance.

On the first olfactory contact, the complexity of the aromas unfolds. Pre-light, the dominant notes of cream and grass announce themselves, while upon lighting, a gentle woody tone emerges. After a few puffs, earthy nuances with slightly fruity accents enrich the experience, making this cigar fascinating from the very first inhalations.

On the palate, the aromatic progression is rich and nuanced. In the first third, the flavors of cream and fresh herbaceousness dominate, evoking memories of wood and hazelnut. As it progresses, the second third offers a development towards earthier and woodier notes, making the flavor even more intriguing. The strength, while remaining medium, evolves and prepares the palate for the final third, where cocoa and a slight bitterness harmonize everything without ever becoming too predominant.

The final sensation in the mouth is marked by a medium finish, where sweetness and creaminess coexist. The balance between strength and lightness is particularly well-executed, making this cigar an experience to recommend to cigar enthusiasts seeking complexity in their choices.

For an ideal moment, savor the Gurkha Special Edition Warlord at dusk, accompanied by a spiced rum or a well-roasted coffee. This way, you will further enhance the richness of its aromas while enjoying a moment of pure relaxation.
