Feb 18th 2012 - Gurkha Fuerte

Today brings us the Gurkha Fuerte in a 6x52 Torpedo vitola. Gurkha is known for their vast portfolio and one of the stronger ones in their line. The Fuerte has a Costa Rican Maduro wrapper with it's fillers coming from Nicaragua and the Honduras. You get a full bodied sweet, earthy, spicy, cedary and peppery flavor experience. I chose this as a Dale Earnhardt memorial. It was 11 years ago today that he passed away doing what he loved, racing. Love him or hate him Dale brought a lot of excitement to the sport and will forever be remembered and missed.
