Ghurka Master's Select

It's another Saturday and once again I'm on my couch doing my favorite thing: smoking a fine cigar with a nice cup of coffee. Seriously, is there anything better in life?

This morning I decided to break out the Ghurka Master's Select Robusto #4 that has been marinating in my humidor for the past month. When I first bought the cigar, I was somewhat taken a back by the strong floral smell. I was actually concerned that it was too perfumey (not sure that's an actual word). The last thing I wanted was to be smoking a flower.

After the first light, my fears were alleviated. Far from being too florarlly, the sweet scent transformed into a wonderful, lush aroma that lasted throughout the smoke. The draw was perfect and the ash burned fairly evenly. The dark Habana 2000 wrapper made it look as good as it tasted.

Not only is this a great cigar but also a great value. You can buy a pack of 10 for only $50.

Overall rating: 8.5 out of 10
