Gurkha Shaggy XO Cigars

Last night my fiancee and I along with a buddy of mine went with a couple of other friends of mine out to Macaroon's bar to see a see our friend's band Blind Vision play.

While we were there, I picked up two Gurkha Shaggy XO cigars which were damn good.

Strength: Medium
Wrapper: Dominican
Binder: Dominican
Filler: Dom, Nic
Origin: Honduras

I found various sites which described the cigar and one of them had said that it has ligero in it. I had never really paid THAT much attention to cigars before, I knew where I liked cigars from and the wrappers that I like (in general), but never to the actual blend itself.

It was great cigar (as usual), the burn was was GREAT especially considering that we were outside smoking them. I wish that we could have been indoors so that I could have enjoyed the aroma.

It's not a cigar that I can (okay SHOULD) buy all that often, but it's rapidly becoming one of my favorites. This cigar has some kick to it so I'd suggest having some dinner before having one.

It's amazing that I almost missed out on this fine cigar line because I had always just dismissed it as being generally "too peppery". My friend Bob had suggested that I try them after he had one earlier last year. I took his word since we both know the types of cigars that we like and I'm glad that I did. :)
