More from Cigar_Furs
Hey guys, it's the second one for the month. Hopefully you aren't drunk yet.
We cover the first Bourbon of the Month.
Gurkha Hartfield and Co Natural:
Wrapper: Connecticut
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Pre-light/Construction:
The display of the box stand was the same as the grand reserve. All standing up tall and in a row. Glass tubes with the wax seal. After opening I let it air out for a few minutes. The smell was very light, but vibrant in the aroma of the bourbon. Never had the chance to try Hartfield and Co Bourbon, but heard great praise. With the opening the traditional Gurkha Warior band was up top while the brand label of the distillery was at the bottom. The wrapper itself was a bit dry, but firm to the touch signifying the age that it went through. A bit soft too. The veins and seems were lightly present. Let's light it up.
The Burn Part 1:
The draw was great and vibrant. Alot of the bourbon notes came swarming in. Like the Cognac stick before, a little light pepper note came afterwords. Not white pepper, but black pepper. With the flow of the stick going through, a bit of more natural tobacco notes were present but keeping it's distance away from the bourbon. IT was a VERY VERY easy start to this week's pick. I decided to have a Jim Bean Double Oak with it. With that being done, I would say it's a great start still.
The Burn Part 2:
The pepper became a little more vibrant, but stable. The bourbon toned down a bit but still had a great taste and the aroma from the retro hale. The natural tobacco became a little more bolder. A bit of fluctuation between each note so far. Once the 2nd 3rd has come to it's end, the pepper just disappeared all of a sudden. The Body at this point has become medium.
The Burn Final:
It has become apparent at this point that tere is nothing harsh about this stick. Mainly easy going to the point of saying this is a stick for any day of the week at anytime. The bourbon notes were still vibrant, but was added with a bit of roasted nuts. It was like adding a bit of more charred barrel age to it. The pper came back a little bit, but was still a little weak from it's departure. The natural tobacco notes dwindled a bit down. With the last few puffs, I took another sip of my Jim Bean and buried it in the ashtray with a smile.
Verdict:
Anytime you want a whiskey or bourbon taste to your pallet in a cigar, this is the stick to wet that whistle. From a lighter side, it's mainly the same as a light conversation drink. I'd recommend this to anyone anywhere, even if you don't drink Bourbon.
Next Week: Gurkha Hartfield and Co Broadleaf
See you then...*hic!*

Dammit, its -22degC with the windchill, and snowing outside. I haven't had a cigar in months. And the water is too hard to swim. *dies an otterly death*
Thanks for sharing these cigar reviews and keeping me sane during my cigar free months. I don't have access to much of the product you review, but the reviews are very much appreciated.
And no, not drunk yet. My mate is down with a bad cold and gone to bed early. So I've got a roaring fire in the hearth, my kits are off to bed, the dog is snuggled up by the hearth and I've got three fingers of Raynal VSOP French Brandy in a goldfish bowl* sized sniffer. The storm off the lake is lashing the house, but the wind howls in a white noise sort of way. Its peaceful. Quiet time and FA with brandy by the fire. Life is good. I just wish I had that cigar.
* its an otter thing.
