thinking of doing something Gurkha. Maybe Spec Ops or maybe Centurian not sure.
What you guys think?
What the F is a spec ops?
Gurkha released three new lines after the trade show in Louisiana. Ninja, Viper, and Spec Ops. Ninja and Viper are here, but Spec Ops is only 500 boxes worldwide.

Not sure i havent tried one yet. Only had these for about 2 weeks. letting them rest more.
Had a Tabak Especial Cafe Con Leche with the morning coffee. Bought it for the girlfriend, but wanted to try something different. It was.................different. Still not sure if I liked it or not. Really sweet.
Had the Gurkha Grand Envoy earlier. I think I like it. Kind of a hybrid between the Gurkha Centurian (which I love) and the Padilla Achilles (which I'm not so crazy about). I should probably get a few more before passing judgment on it though.

You may like the maduro, the flavor, as I recall, was richer. I'm not really an infused cigar guy, but I do enjoy the Tabak and Java maduros. Smoke one while drinking coffee with cream and sugar and it's a match made in heaven.
Alec Bradley SCR...3 weeks of rest on this cigar definitely made all the difference in the world. I actually think it would have been better with more time on it, but since I'm redeploying back home in 12 days, had to smoke this

Thanks Joe, I'll have to give em a try. I do love maduros. This was the first infused stick I've tried.

Good news! Where will you be heading back to?
San Antonio, TX...can't wait Also got a surprise package of cigars coming my way (something I didn't think CCom could get) which will be waiting for me! Pretty exciting...get to see the family and see all the cigars I've blown my money on while deployed LOL
Had a JdN Dark Corojo in the El Martillo size. Fantastic smoke. I need to try the Azarosa I have. Sometimes when I have one of these I need it to be a little shorter. I just didn't have enough time for the large toro last night.

Good to know. I've been contemplating a box. Have you tried the corona? I forget their little name for it.
Had a 5 Vegas Gold Maduro last night. It was my first - I let it take a nine week nap before I gave it a shot. Not bad at all. Within the first third I detected a bit of a cinnamon flavor that I swear turned to an almost sweet-peperminty kind of flavor for a couple of puffs before it disappeared. Never experienced that before - it was good.

Just finished up an Alec Bradley Family Blend for lunch. A buddy of mine brought it for me, and it was my first one. Really a good smoke. A well balanced flavorful cigar with a decent kick. I was impressed.
Tonight I'll be firing up a couple of Gurkha Masters Select with 3 or 4 extra yeas of age on them with my Father in Law. Wasn't intending on aging them, but I bought two boxes a while back and its taken me a while to get through them. Definitely interesting to see the flavors change over time, but I think this is about as long as you'd want to go on a medium bodied/medium flavored cigar.
