    I think I saw some posts where Madurofan was talking about the Tatuaje cigars.  But regaurdless of who it was, I would love to see a review of the Havana VI from either of you two when you get around to it.

    Hey Urbino, I don't remember where I was by wolfchase mall, but I picked up a couple Tatuaje Havana VI Angeles for around $5 a piece. You might want to head over there for a good stick without dropping more for an internet pickup. I wish I remembered the name, but it was off of Germantown Prkwy.

    Maduro was talking about the Tat. corojo 2003 and 2006, just so ya know you did have the right guy.

    Heh. Everything's off of Germantown Pkwy., van. There's a Tinder Box in that mall, and probably a couple smoke shops in the area. I know there's one on Dexter, just off GP, a coupla miles south of the mall. Sounds like you're talking about someplace closer, though.

    Come on over to the Newbies thread and say hi. You too, Puro.

  • Gurkha Centurian XX Review

     06-26-2008, 10:30 PM

    Cigar: Gurkha Centurian XX
    Size/Shape: Perfecto
    Time In My Humidor: 10 days
    Smoking Time: 1:15
    Overall Rating: 8.0

    This is a good cigar. I'd like to be able to give it higher praise, but I just can't. It is a good cigar, but, IMHO, not more than that.

    As much as I like the perfecto shape, and as much as I appreciate the skill and attention required to roll one that draws as well and consistently as this one does, all that fine construction goes a-beggin' if it isn't delivering flavor, and this cigar was just flat in that department.

    Pre-light and immediately post-light, there were some cedary notes. As the burn continued, the cedar became spiciness, but too slight. A chocolaty aftertaste also developed, but it, too, was too slight. In a cigar of this reputation and especially this price, one expects more flavor.

    All that said, the flavors that were present were nice and, if fuller, would make for a very nice, complex mix. As I mentioned, the cigar drew admirably well, especially for a perfecto. However, it didn't burn evenly. It had a decided hot streak down one side for most of its length, before finally evening out during the last third or so.

    I have a few more of these in my humi, and I'll enjoy smoking them. But I won't eagerly anticipate them.

    Well, my curiosity is piqued now. The price tag on the Centurian has seemed a bit high to me to try it as a one off, but since ccom is offering a deal on them I went ahead and snagged a six pack for $30 along with a handful of cigars I was ordering. I'll probably try one fresh and let the others rest for some time. I'm not going to get my hopes too high, but we'll see, I'm not super impressed with Gurkha thus far, but I'm hardly disgusted with them either, just feel they are a bit overpriced/over-hyped for being good-but-not-great cigars (this is in my experience of course).

    That's a pretty good summary of my feelings about this one, Joe. BTW, I got my Centurians via that same deal. If they normally sold at that price, they'd be a solid buy. Still not among my favorites, but a solid buy. But at their normal price? I just don't see it.

    The Warlord is a line I like as it is a good cigar without a hefty price tag... I bought a box a few months ago and the cigars averaged to about $6 a piece ( if you take the fan-dancy box out of the equation) which I feel is a good price for that particular cigar.

    And I'm really getting pumped over that Graycliff Legend, can't wait to try that one. And it better be good, or you're gonna have one disgruntled customer on your hands :). I'll see if I can't come up with a review of my own and compare it with your's.

    Hey Joe, everything Urbino says about that Purple ( urple ) is true.. You will want more.. I do not know how Graycliff can make that cigar and sell it at the price they do, when all their other stuff is going for super premium prices.. It's got this unique nutty taste that you will keep trying to identify, I have had many and never been let down..

    You will not find them in any shops ... They are available from another Company as their in house line. I think you can find them from an internet search using the proper key words..using the words.. Legends Series, Graycliff, and Cigars..That really should do it..If not I can PM you..check your inbox..

    Thank you VERY much! I'm going to have to check into trying these.  I keep hearing a lot of praise.

    Are you talking about the Purple ones? I don't see Legend series on this site...

    Do a Google search using the words I mentioned, and you should find them. Or in the upper right hand corner there is a box Inbox, click that because I sent you the info..
