here goes my second review
this is for the Gurkha aster Select Robusto #4, a 6x52 cigar with a dark oily wrapper and a nice firm feel.

I paired this last night with a Guinness Stout
Using a punch, this cigar lit nicely and had a nice draw. I prefer a draw not too loose and this one was perfect for me. The burn was immediately even and I had no burn issues what so ever.
The flavor was medium I would say, but I am still a rookie here, with a nice peppery tint. I found the flavor to be even throughout the entire burn with pepper being the prominent taste along with some earthy tones.
near the end, about an hour, I started to have a slight problem with some of the wrapper coming off where I was holding it. But I would have to say it was in my hand the entire time I was smoking it since we were out and I had no good place to rest it.
Over all I really enjoyed this cigar and will return to it in the future. I am enjoying trying new ones and working on picking out my "go to" cigar. This is up at the top of the list so far.

Sorry, Greg. According to CI, the 6x52 is called a Robusto #4.
Yeah. I know. To you, me, and the rest of the world, it's a toro. But this is Gurkha we're talking about.

Hmmmm, that is strange but like you said, it's Gurkha.
:-) I still refuse to call it a robusto.
