I bought this one just the other day at the Grapevine Cigar shop just because I was in the area. I lit it up and smoked half of it right away. It was quite good, tasteful with a flavor that I really didn’t recognize, plenty of smoke and a good draw.
I picked up the cigar 2 days later, last night, re-lit and smoked the rest of it. The flavor was still 100% present, plenty of smoke, good draw and not dry at all.
This was a really good smoke, good quality, good wrapper and good taste. I want to get another one and see if I can distinguish a flavor this time.

Indian Tabac Super Fuerte cigars offer a rich, complex-tasting, box-pressed edition with a nutty flavor, extraordinary balance, and no bite.
I didn’t taste anything specific in this cigar. The flavor was good, but I couldn’t really place it. Perhaps it was nutty, I didn’t taste it all that well. But I do like the smoke alot, it was better than the Indian Tabac Buffalo that I smoked last and not as harsh as the Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Maduro that was my first smoke.
I bought a 5-pack of these and I will definitely look forward to smoking another one.

This was a fantastic smoke.
Crafted from aged Cuban-seed long-fillers from the Dominican Republic’s Cibao Valley and cloaked by a chewy, 5-year-old wrapper leaf. A solid, slow burning, medium to full-bodied cigar layered with bold but subdued flavors.
I tasted hints of chocolate and coffee with this cigar. The draw was perfect, but it didn’t have too much smoke. The taste was phenomenal. The cigar lasted for well over an hour. The wrapper was perfect, didn’t unravel and the consistency was perfect. I smoked this one all the way down to the nub to where it burned my fingers before it ever got hot to the taste. I will look forward to getting and smoking one of these again.

This is the 2nd Grand Envoy I have smoked. In this cigar I tasted a “nutty” flavor, perhaps almond or cashew. The cigar smoked very evenly and stayed lit all the way down to the nub. The ash was very white, much lighter than the Nepalese Warrior that I smoked previously.
I have a couple more Grand Envoy sticks in my box and will try and distinguish more flavors on the next one that I smoke.
This Vitola is masterfully blended with a vintage mixture of Dominican and Honduran long-leaf tobaccos, wrapped in a dark Connecticut-seed wrapper.

This post will be the first of a new style of writing. I read an article about becoming a better Cigar Taster and how to enhance my tasting ability. From now on I will be writing about what I taste in a cigar and how the quality of smoke and ash was while smoking it.
Gurkha’s Nepalese Class Regent is a combination of one of the finest cigar making families in the world and a man known for creating some of the most raved about blends on the market. Torano and K. Hansotia, two names that continue to enlighten our palates and further improve this luxurious slice of our life we call cigars.
Personally I was expecting more from this cigar after the last 2 that I smoked. The box-pressed Toro cigar was packed tight and very hard to squeeze. It lit well and burned well, but didn’t produce much smoke until about 1/3 of the way into the cigar. The tastes that I *think* I recognized were pepper and a hint of vanilla here and there.
I liked the cigar, but I think that I will stay with the Signature 101 or the Grand Envoy.
