Apr 15th 2012 - Gurkha Legend

Today brings us the Gurkha Legend in a 6x52 Torpedo vitola. Hands down one of my fav sticks by Gurkha. It comes from the Dominican Republic and features a 7 yr old Connecticut Broad Leaf Maduro wrapper with a Cameroon binder and Dominican fillers. This cigar has an earthy and leathery core that is complemented by spice and a nice maduro sweetness. I wanted to feature this as the Titanic Memorial cigar. On Apr 15th 1912 the RMS Titanic sank. More than 1500 people lost their lives. To give some perspective there was only 710 who survived. It's legend has been told far and wide and it's story transcends generations unlike almost any other...
