The Gurkha 125th Anniversary Rothschild measures 6x54 with a smooth, slightly oily, Brazilian Cubra Habano wrapper. The cigar features filler from Brazil, Dominican Republic, and Nicagragua, and an Ecuadorian Habano binder. It has a average pack with a few veins visible. Let's start reviewing.
When you get the cigar lit up, you get a sweet, earthy, basic tobacco flavor with a earthy/spice on the long finish. A lot of flavor as you head through the 1/3 of the cigar. With this stick you also get an even burn, a great draw, and a lot of smoke output. So far so good.
The 2/3's point adds a little more flavor. You start to get hints of nut mixing in with the sweet, earth, and tobacco flavors. The finish is still the same with the earthy/spice finish, but the finish is starting to shorten up. The stick still has a nice even burn, nice snug draw, and good smoke output.
3/3's to the end brings out the nutty flavor, and the sweetness dies out. The earthy/tobacco flavors are still there, but mellowing out. On the finish, the spice went away, and you get a nice rich earth flavor. Overall, a good smoke offering a good blend, even burn, nice draw, and good smoke output. Medium-bodied.
Stogie Rite score: 89
