I have been smoking an "Ancient Warrior" for about 3 hours now....

...and it is only half over. Stays lit with a great ash. Surprisingly mild but with a lot of smoke. Easy draw and good flavor. This is a Gurkha, right..?

Want to put it down and get ready for bed but I am afraid it will suck out all the air in the universe...

    Least I could do, after all, I picked it up.

    But I am still surprised at how good a smoke it was, I mean, its a Gurkha and every Gurkha I have smoked has been a disappointment.

    My wife gave me a LFD DL 700. At 6.5 x 60, I'm expecting to not even attempt it until the weather gets a lot warmer. I tried to emphasize to her that I liked smaller stuff...oh well, she saw I didn't have any large smokes and wanted to get me one to try. Now, she can't complain when I take that long to smoke it. And I told her I liked the chisel or chiselito...

    Glad you enjoyed it. It's had rest for about 1 year and 3 months.

    1 year and 3 months is about how long it takes me to finish a bottle of Scotch, perfect timing.

    Been meaning to ask: That time you picked up the universe, where did you stand?

    It ended up being over 4 hours and it was a total pleasure all the way.

    I've actually always wanted to try one. What kind of wrapper is on them? I remember being interested in them, and I actually think the size is pretty cool.

    I'm glad it was good! That is one monster stick though.

    Plan a long afternoon in a quiet place and cool weather, when you are just relaxing and reflecting on good things. I kept putting it down for longer and longer periods and it never failed to stay lit. Since I am now forewarned I will plan, the next time, a long sit on the porch with my outside dogs and a really big ice tea. It will be one of life's better moments.

    I've smoked two and yeah they last some time. I thought it was a decent smoke, just too long for me (hehe). One thing I've found is that cigars over 1.5 hours are rough for me to smoke. Maybe I just need to hang around more cigar smokers or something.
