When you think of high quality, and hard-to-come-by tobaccos, one of the first brands that should come to mind is Gurkha and their Widow Maker is another great example of the flavors that can come from perfectly aged ingredients. This medium-to-full-bodied beauty is comprised of 7 year aged Dominican and Honduran long filler, a 7-year old Dominican Habano binder, and an exquisite 10-year aged Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. Don’t let the blonde wrapper fool you, this cigar is every bit as flavorful and full-bodied as some smokes on the market.
The back and silver band encases a flawless tan wrapper. As you bring this cigar up to enjoy, the first thing that will hit you is a coffee like aroma mixing with a natural sweetness from the tobacco. The first few relaxing puffs you take will reveal a creaminess that perfectly marries with a zesty spiciness. The more you sit back with this great cigar, more pepper notes will tingle your mouth and the finish is nothing short of an outstanding toastiness.
Gurkha Widow Maker is not for your everyday smoke or for someone who is used to the more mild nature of a Connecticut wrapper. The flavor and body this cigar exhumes is wonderful. Perfect for after a large meal, this cigar went great with a scotch on the deck as you watch the sunset on the day. For a slightly sweeter note, we would also recommend the Maduro version.
