Gurkha Widow Maker

Description

Few boutique brands carry the all-around gravitas as Gurkha. Actually, few brands even come close. Known for exceedingly flavorful, high quality handmades crafted from the world's rarest, oldest tobaccos, the Gurkha name represents prestige and luxury. Centurian, Beauty, Beast, Titan, Crest, Triad....Gurkha's list of fine achievements is long and distinguished. Add Widow Maker to the list, because this rare specimen is ready for the masses.

The medium to full-bodied Widow Maker is all substance. Available in two formats - Ecuador Connecticut and Connecticut Broadleaf - this ultra-premium is made entirely of extensively aged tobaccos. Rare, vintage tobaccos sorted countless times to obtain only the finest, highest quality leaves. Both varieties are bold and complex, offering soothing layers of robust, satisfying flavors delivered in a methodical, expertly balanced fashion only true vintage tobaccos can provide. Expectations will no doubt be high due to the price point....but a cigar of this caliber has the ability to meet, and also exceed, these expectations.

Smoking the natural as I write this and it's an incredibly satisfying experience. Though listed as a medium-full cigar, its draw is so deceptively smooth and creamy that it belies the fact this stick packs a bit of a wallop. Definitely not a stick to start the day off! But despite its strength, the taste and aroma of the smoke keep me coming back for more. It just draws me in... And hence the name. It draws you in and beguiles and seduces you to partake of its wonderful bounty. Then it knocks you on your ass! :) That said, it's not nearly as intense as other strong sticks I've had, and to be honest, the effect is rather pleasing. Other than that, this is incredibly well-constructed. It has heft when you hold it and very solid. The burn is slow and even. Give this stick about an hour and a half; plenty of time for a couple of glasses of wine or whisky(ey).

Unfortunately, each time I order the Gurkha Widow maker I am disappointed, and yet, I keep ordering them. I truly want to give it a good review because the smoke itself can be quite good. This is where the problem lies. It's quality control is horrendous. One cigar will smoke great, with a pleasant bite of pepper, but then the next four will be terrible. Either an extremely tight draw, inability to stay lit, or unraveling. Overall, it could be a good smoke, but Gurkha needs to address some issues before I'll buy it again.

Gurkha never seems to develope character. I keep giving them another try now and then over the years. Unremarkable stick. Always on sale, marked down from an outrageous MSRP.

A very good cigar for a restful sit with a good bourbon. Lots of smoke, consistent burn, ash holds tight and good flavors! One of Gurkha's top for sure. Normally a bit out of my price range, got them in a sampler's deal... well worth that!!!

Trying this one was a first for me but definitely one. I’m glad I did. Great taste, construction, and even burn. If you’re needing an opinion of a long time 14 year cigar smoker. It’s got my approval.

I gave it an 85. It has a great flavor profile. It is a little over stuffed, making for a very heavy draw, and somewhat inconsistent burn. I would not want a full box, but I would smoke it again.
