Fresh, flavorable, good draw

I have always been a fan of Gurkha Cigars. They have a unique flavor, easy draw and an overall great smoke. That being said the Raptor Robusto is a great size and a slow burn. You get a lot of taste in a smaller size

Good burn and light tastes

Just the right size

Outer wrapper cracks and peels while smoking. Great flavor

They are to small for my taste

Good

The draw was good with a decent taste. This cigar had a good even burn.

They fall apart and don't burn well.

Good flavor, poor craftsmanship

I generally go through 5 or 6 before deciding on my opinions, only took 2 for the Raptor. It's a good cigar, has a unique quality to it though, in the smoke and flavor, kind of spicy and has an edge to it. I find it not so smooth to medium, but medium to strong, and sweet as it passes the mid point. To me, it's a strong and full flavored cigar that becomes more intense as it goes along. I did have an issue with tunneling but it wasn't the cigars fault as i tend to slow smoke which can cause tunneling but not always. I see smoking 2 or 3 a week but not daily and i would make a repeat purchase.

This Gurkha is okay. It won't win any awards but it is good for the price. Good roll draw burn flavor and smooth. Lots of cedar with some toasty spice and very little pepper. I like this cigar.

I did not care for the flavor

It was constructed well burned even

often

Great everyday or event cigar

Still waiting to receive the shipment

Great cigar for the current price 39 bucks.

Not a bad smoke for the price

Well constructed but the wrappers burst during smoking sometimes. The flavor is ok but misses the mark I expect from Gurka. However, at the price point it is a solid cigar and better than typical cheaper cigars.

A good smooth smoke.

Tunneling happens about 5 or 6 out of the bundle.

Smoke them when working outside in the yard or garage.

OK but not great.

I only got 3 or 4 good cigars in the whole bundle. Maybe I got a bad bundle. The cigars had tunneling and canoeing issues. Tunneling is when it burns a 'cave' down the middle. Canoeing is when it burns much faster down one side. It also gave a bitter taste halfway? through. I know this might seem odd but they cast off twice the smoke of any other cigar I smoked. Strange since their made by Gurkha

Not much flavor until the last 3rd. The first two 3rd had a burnt wax smell. Will try a few more to see if they change.

I wasn't quite ready for how harsh these actually are. The description says smooth/medium, but I would put them a bit further along than that. They are rolled well, but had a tendency to burn out quite a bit, and with each re-light the taste became harsher and more bitter and burnt. Even my wife said she could tell they were bad because the odor smelled terrible compared to my usual fair.

I usually save these for the weekend.

Only 2 downfalls I found..... Tends to get a little more charred tasting in the last 3rd of the stick than what i normally smoke. The band is quite large and the manufacturer sticks the band to the cigar rather than to itself. Thus pulling some leaves up when removing the wrapper if your not careful.

Smooth draw with suble spice hints with a slightly creamy background that makes for a medium to full bodied flavor. Definitely a great cigar. I give 4 stars because it has flavor but not the most complex of flavors like the higher end of the Gurkha lineup.

Very good everyday stick

These cigars are smooth and tasty! I order them all the time. The best cigar at a reasonable price!!!!!!!

rotating these with black dragons.... takes a bit to get used to these....

I love how Gurkha makes some blends that are not the price of a new car so I can fill my humidor with some good sticks. These are no different, well made easy light with a nice smooth draw. I'm normally a punch kind of kind but found cutting the caps these smokes were a lot better. Only issue I had is that someone got excited with the glue during adding the rings. About four of my sticks the glue got onto to the cigar and ended up pulling the loose or completely off. I normally take my ring off when just before the heat starts getting to it

bery good smoke, great quality, great price...

This stick is a solid burner. I bought a 20 pack to try out and will definately order these again. My only problem is I keep burning my fingers as these are so good, I smoke it to the very end to get all I can. Burns smooth, slow. This is a well packed solid smoke at a great price.

This cigar has a nice bold but smooth taste. I really enjoy smoking them

I truely enjoy these cigars.

Overall, a great deal, but that's considering I got them on sale, plus 10% discount, at about $1.70 each, for a bundle of 20. If I had to pay more, I'd probably try something else. They were definitely worth the money, though...happy with that purchase.

Good smoke nice draw wrapped nice and tight pretty good flavor. It's a nice bundle fill your humidor.

Goes great with CB Jackson

Will never use Thompson again for shipping this trash to me
