Gurkha Ghost Shadow Robusto Cigar – Single

The Gurkha Ghost Shadow Robusto Cigar features a Brazilian Arapiraca Maduro wrapper with a dark, oily finish and slightly textured surface. Its construction combines a Dominican Criollo 1998 binder with aged filler tobaccos from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. The blend earned a 93-point rating for its balanced intensity and combustion consistency.

This 5x52 Robusto format provides a 45-minute smoking duration. The draw maintains airflow consistency, while the burn line remains even without frequent corrections. Initial flavors present earthy tones with black pepper sharpness, transitioning to espresso bitterness and dried fruit sweetness in the second third. Retrohale emissions highlight leather and nutmeg spice elements.
