    Gurkha Symphony

    Scored it for $1 of Cigarbid.

    Very mild, and too mild for me to enjoy. Kinda weird for a Gurkha, but I also bought it blind without looking at the description.

    Very wonky burn on one of the quadrants. It persisted after touching up.

    The taste wasn't bad, but there wasn't really anything going on. No Gurkha qualities to it - and that may be a good thing. It was very smooth, I guess, but again it's very mild. Tasted like thin paper mostly, and I just didn't want to hang with it.

    The ash was snow-white, and very fragile. Probably the whitest ash, and most fragile I've ever seen.

    Tossed around 10 mins into it. About half of that time was trying to get it to burn correctly in that one quadrant and let it rest...and I didn't really want to smoke it.

    Trial By Smoke Judgement:

    Only recommended to the Bargain Bums who prefer their smokes very mild.

    With enough age they smoke well still very mild. Most bums on here don't give Gurkha the time of day.
