Gurkha Beauty

Two things are for certain when purchasing a Gurkha cigar. It is guaranteed to taste great, seeing as Gurkha sources tobacco from some of the richest and most fertile soils on earth and puts each leaf through a strenuous quality process, and it is guaranteed to be display-worthy the moment you pull it out of the box. Gurkha cigars are an industry standard when it comes to all aspects of what makes a cigar truly great: tobacco origin, blend taste and cigar appearance. Indeed, pulling a Gurkha out of your humidor announces that a premium experience above and beyond your wildest expectations is about to take place. With that said, the Gurkha Beauty stands out even amid the prestigious Gurkha profile. Featuring an almost seamless and veinless Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper that has been expertly aged for nearly a decade, binder from the Dominican Republic that was aged for five years and filler tobacco from Nicaragua, this cigar is meant to pair with another one of Gurkha’s large ring gauge releases known as The Beast. The 6.50x58 cigar is boxed in a modern black enclosure with beautiful glass tubes housing each and every stick. Delectable cold draws lead to a cigar that is unmistakably creamy from the first puff to the very last. This mellow-medium bodied cigar has a profile of milkiness, cashew, baking spice and a balancing note of cedar wood that bolsters the cigar’s maturity and adds to its thought-provoking nature. While this Gurkha—or any Gurkha, really—is going to be the star of the show, this smoke will also pair beautifully with a morning cup of coffee given both its strength and complementary flavor notes. Cognac from your spirit shelf will also do the trick along with higher-end craft pale ales. If you’re a wine buff, consider a crisp and buttery chardonnay, which will beautifully slice through the dessert-like profile of the Beauty and add its own fruity sweetness to the fold. Rarely do cigars on the larger end of the spectrum satisfy the smoker’s need for both consistent quality and ample smoke time. Then again, not every cigar is a Gurkha.
