Quick Smoke: Gurkha Legend Robusto

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

Sometimes creamy and often nutty, the Gurkha Legend Robusto (6 x 50) is a satisfying smoke with excellent physical properties. It employs a seven-year-old Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper, eight-year-old Dominican filler tobaccos, and a Cameroon binder to turn out a musty, woody profile. While enjoyable, it  doesn’t have the complexity to back up its price tag, which hovers around $9.

Verdict = Hold.
