Unlike Duder2, I did not really enjoy my experience with the Gurkha Doble Maduro last night. This is the second Gurkha that burned very uneven. In fact, I had to touch it up twice due to one side not burning. The draw was extremely tight; my cheeks were tired by the time there were 2-3 inches left. I didn't pick up much flavor at all with this stick. Out of my Gurkha Sampler, that's 2 out of 3 that's been bad. I'm about to join the Gurkha Dissenters, but I will keep a fair and honest mind with the remaining 7.
