gurkha ghost, and ONLY because i told abe flores i would at the event week and a half back. it is apparently made by PDR. band looks like the tacky stickers you get out of quarter machines, but it burns like a beast, throws off billows of chewy smoke, and offers a lot of flavor for something that set me back $5ish. win!

I think this is a sleeper of a cigar for the BOTL crowd because it says Gurkha on the label. Abe did a good job with this one and you are right, it throws off smoke like a LP#9 when it is resting in the ashtray. Very similar components in this cigar as the 2010 BOTL Small Batch.

How did it smoke? They are still a little young (haven't hit a year) but I haven't tested one in a while.

Monte #2 and H. Upmann Half Corona with a good friend. Those half coronas are crazy good.

REALLY? neat! actually, between the smoke production and the way the oils bubbled/ oozed from the burn line, i was thinking LP9, but that is not a comparison i am going to drop on the first stick. but i AM going back and trying all the sizes. o)

Really good actually. It definitely may benefit from a little more downtime, but I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks again, brother.

I'm burning an Oliva Connecticut Robo paired with a Brazilian/Colombian/Mexican blend cappuccino on this fine Sunday morning.

First Headley Grange with thanks to Zepp69. Very Creamy and enjoyable. Smoking a turkey too!

Yesterday I tried my first La Reloba Seleccion Oscuro, thanks ATL. Lots of sweet spice.
