Gurkha Turk

This may be a little biased, because I am a fan of the Gurkha line anyway, but I went and ordered the new Gurkha Turk offer for the mazo of 6 + 6 free, and I smoked my first one...well the flavor was excellent. It had a slight hint of coffee and a distinct sugar cane flavor on the finish of each puff, and although the smoke was very mild, it still was excellent. Although many mild cigars have a sweet flavor, the Turk is very distinct, and unlike many others I have smoked. Not a smoke to have after a steak with a glass of wine or a beer, but a perfect stick for the morning when you are having a coffee and reading the paper. This could be my new favorite mild-bodied smoke.

I have the Turk on my list of things to buy. Just waiting for a deal. I just ordered Gurkha Triple Ligero. Got a deal. 10 for $30. Looking forward to trying this cigar. I must say I really like the Gurkhas. Not as much as my Hemingways but close. Also ordered Rocky Patel Vintage '90 Toro 10-Pack for #35.

I just smoked the Turk today. I was very impressed. I did taste the sweetness too, I just couldn't put my finger on what it was. I am also a Gurkha fanatic. This is probably the best mild bodied smoke I've had also.

   In all seriousness, if there are those of you out there that like a morning cigar, pick up a mazo of 6 Gurkha Turks. They are on sale for $19.95 right now for 6. They are smooth, light, creamy and sweet. IMO Perfect to smoke with a cup of coffee.

I also picked up a Mazo of Turks and have to say I liked them quite a bit. I thought that they had a hint of the Ancient Warrior flavor to the blend, but not nearly as rich or complex in comparison. I'm not generally a fan of Mild smokes and the Turks are definitely mild, but in a very good and flavorful way. I'll be keeping some of these around as long a Gurka keeps them priced right.
