Another mystery Gurkha?

abramsjt

Gentlemen,

I recently enjoyed a fine Gurkha cigar of approximately 6 x 50 with a connecticut wrapper. It had the Gurkha legend label with a silver band just below. I enjoyed it so much I now want to buy a box but I cannot for the life of me figure out what kind it was. I am hopping one of you Gurkha experts can help me out… Anyhow, I have found a picture of one in the C.com 5 for 5 sampler and have seen a similar cigar elsewhere listed as the Gurkha Symphony. I can’t seem to find it listed on C.com and wanted to be sure what it was before I went elsewhere or called in to special order it from C.com.

Thank you in advance for you help.

I think that you are referring to the Gurkha Symphony. I had one, but it was too mild for me. Great flavors on the stick, just not my cup o tea.

Google image the Gurkha Symphony it has the Connecticut wrapper you mentioned as well as the silver signature band that says silver edition. I too believe that is what you smoked. I do like that milder smoke It's very much like another one of my favorites the AVO.

Yes, I am refering to the cigar pictured in the top of the "5 for 5 smooth and creamy sampler" photo. I have also seen a simiar cigar designated as a Gurkha Symphony pictured with out the Legends band like the one on the Gurkha site.

Im goint to call in to C.com and try to place a special order on Monday. Hopping this is the corect cigar...

The Gurkha band wasn't always on the Symphony. Newer releases of the cigar have that band added. Older releases just had the one silver band.

It's not a Legend-style band... it's a Gurkha-style band. That's the band for the brand. If you look closely, you'll see each one is slightly different (as an example, the Royal Brigade has red on it, and the Legend is more monotone).
