Wednesday Afternoon.
Thanks to Matthew ( chain_gang ) got to smoke this "new to me" cigar Once lit the first quarter to a third of an inch has a rather unusual taste, not bad ..but "odd'. That taste fades rather abruptly and I'm getting g
the expected good tobacco taste. The burn line is decently sharp and stays that way till the end, smoke production is light, not skimpy, but not a thick or heavy cloud. The taste shifts at a bout a third of the way in, and again as the cigar burns down to the last quarter. Can not pick up on any spice or pepper in the mouth or on the retrohale, just the lightness, so a Mild cigar for Me that doesn't quite make it to the Medium mark.
The ash is very solid and held on until I tapped it off after about three inches,then did not fall,am on its own accord until there was no more than an inch to go. I do not get the nuances that I'm sure many other Bums note when smoking. So interested in seeing what others think of this Eagle. Again a big thanks to Matthew for sending me this one try.

Bob, sorry to hear it was a dud. Do you think it's worth a revisit?

Let me clarify; Its been years since my last Gurkha; probably about 7-8.
As I recall, the last one left me feeling a bit... nauseous. It was with a sunrise golf round, on an empty stomach, and I wasn’t as, shall we say accustomed to cigars at the time. Went in to work with a bit of queasiness.

Yes it has been a rough month, but thankfully it looks like I'm at the end of this tunnel. And yes that was a great stick, an original release from 3 years ago. Unfortunately my taste buds were a bit shot, so training them again with a few milder sticks for now.
