I smoked the Toro size, which is right around 6×56 in size. This smoke has a very dark Brazilian Arapirica maduro wrapper with a Dominican Criollo binder and Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. The Ghost is the newest line from Gurkha and was their giveaway cigar at this year’s Great Smoke. You’re probably saying to yourself “Bull! I don’t believe in ghosts.” Or “What does this have to do with cigars?” Well, I’ve never seen “Arnold” the friendly ghost but something does keep creeping people out in room 302 and this is a perfect segway into my next cigar review of the Gurkha Ghost. I work the graveyard shift at a hotel that happens to haunted by the former managers husband who lived in room 302. As always, Happy Smoking!ĭespite all the perks that come with being The Mayor of Cigars, it doesn’t pay the bills, so unfortunately I must have a day job, or should I say night job. This Full bodied smoke is definitely a required smoke for any Don Pepin or big cigar fan. The Draw remains perfectly effortless and the burn evens itself out nicely.
In the last third, the fruity/berry flavor dies out, but the spiciness is ever consistent. The draw on this monster is effortless and the burn through the second third is a little crooked but not bad. In the second third, the same spicy flavor was consistent but a hint of fruitiness was evident along the line of straw or raspberries.
In fact, in the first third, this smoke has the same spicy and full flavor that is common among the Don Pepin Garcia Blue Label cigars. Now let me preface this review with my humble opinion: To me, there are only three 60 ring gauge + cigars worth smoking and those are the Padron SI-15/#4, 601 La Bomba and the gigantic La Flor Dominicana Digger, but like everything else he does, Don Pepin’s first venture into massive girthtitude is a success!Īs stated before, this Don Pepin Original is 6×62, but isn’t light on flavor or “airy” like most 60+ ring gauge cigars.
