Jan 14th 2012 - Gurkha Blue Steel

Today brings us the Gurkha Blue Steel Toro in a 6x50 vitola. The Blue Steel is a rare limited blend by Gurkha. Due to the quantity of the wrapper leaf tobacco used in the blend only 50,000 of these cigars were made. This made sound like a lot but in cigar terms it is limited. The Blue Steel features a Costa Rican Maduro wrapper with it's fillers coming from Nicaragua, the Honduras, and Columbia. Blue Steel has flavors of earth, spice, toast, wood and a classic maduro sweetness to round it all out. I chose this to be today's cigar to celebrate the 58th birthday of one of my favorite professional wrestlers growing up Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Thanks for all the great memories Hacksaw! HHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
