Gurkha Rare Breed

The smell of the tobacco is a little harsh, but it isn't as strong when I smoke it. I would compare the smell to a nonflavored chew. The tin is cool, and it's packaged well. It burns about average to other tobacco. The smell is a bit strong in the tin.

Was very surprised the first time I smoked a bowl full. Burned even and smooth with no tongue bite. I will add this to my daily smoke breaks.

I was very pleased with this blend. I was always a fan of Gurkha cigars so I figured I’d give the pipe tobaccos a go. I purchased all three of their blends. I’ve only tried the rare breed so far and it was beyond my expectations. It has a great flavor that drastically changes once it gets hot ( I tend to smoke to fast occasionally lol) but no real bite from it. It puts off quite a bit of smoke. Smoked great from the top to the bottom.

Excellent

Great amount of flavor when you smoke and of the Gurkha blends.

Taste like a pair of old leather shoes... just how I like it👌🏻

I like the blend

Great flavor ,smoked amazingly smooth. Its Gurkha !! Never disappointed.

The description of this blend is spot on with one exception. There is just the hint of peppery spice which keeps this blend from being boring. Definitely a great finish to the day and to watch the sunset. If you like some variety in your line up without harshness, I would definitely recommend this. Another winner from Gurka and a delight to know that a favorite cigar maker can also make a wonderful pipe blend.

Love it. Very smoothly blended. I usually run the Peterson’s emp, Elizabethan, and my mix 965 and SG squadron leader. This is sweet and very pleasant. A bit of spice but fantastic blend that smells and smokes very smooth. I love the Gurkha line of cigars and this was a stern reminder of how they have never failed

First Bowl was not very pleasant for me, primarily because i had e expectations of a powerhouse smoke, based on my experience with Gurkha cigars. Expectations set aside and 5 bowls later, I found this to be a wonderfully enjoyable, however mild smoke. I get more f the Burley from the smoke enhanced by the smokey flavors of the Turkish, the two melding into a lovely nutty Melange. I enjoy it as a start of the day Smoke. Great for those looking to cross over to English style Tobacco's.

AFTER A FEW BOWL I FIND THIS A MILD YET DECENT SMOKE!

As advertised - good evening tobacco.

I've had the pleasure to smoke several Latakia blends, and this one is hands-down the best I've ever smoked. Normally I shy away from blends that are really busy like this one because my palate isn't that sophisticated, but the Burley, Turkish, and Perique combine seamlessly with the Latakia to create a synergistic blend.

This is one of my go-to tobacco's. A light english blend.

Tasted good smooth start to finish with very little tounge bite

It is a nice smoke. I will definitely buy it again

Not what expected from description, it was a bit harsh and left a bad taste in my mouth, I threw it out. But I still like Gurkha Cigars.

What else is there to say. Gurkha is a great tobacco, get you some and try it. Rare breed is my favorite blend. If I had Parker cash id buy out the lot.
