Gurkha Urban Legend

Latkia is not one of my favorites, and blends with it can be all over the map. This one is just right.

👍

A perfect blend . Sweet full bodied flavor, with a great aroma . Just as smooth a flavorful as their cigars

Am a new pipe smoker, but long time cigar smoker. Purchased the Gurkha pipe selections due to familiarity with their cigars. Completely satisfied and experiencing full enjoyment with Urban Legends blend with Latakia and Perique.

The latakia is not obvious and the taste is well balanced. Very smooth.

Excellent tobacco, special spicy Latakia with strong character. Great and fast delivery service by Pipes and Cigars

The Latakia really comes through in this blend. Nice job on a good smoke!

Good quality stuff! Just not my bag!!

good aroma and easy burning

Not a big fan after 3 bowls. I will finish the tin but will not reorder. Not horrible but nothing that makes me really enjoy it. Bland

It's a good robust smoke and I wanted to try a blend with Perique but I prefer more Cavendish.

I've been enjoying mild and smooth aromatics, but wanted to try something that might have a little more bite and pizazz. This fit the bill without being over powering.

This has become my new favorite. It's like nothing I've had before. You're not going to get a mouth full of smokey flavor like you would with a strong latakia blend and you're not going to get a blast of awesome aroma like you would with your favorite cavendish. Instead what you get is a smooth, subtle, and very complex blend with a natural sweetness that increases as it heats up. Unlit, it smells like prunes and campfire. Correct me if I'm wrong but the prune smell is from the Virginia leaves, right? And the smokey smell would be the latakia. When you first light it, you don't get much of an impression of anything. Pretty darn mild at first. But as it burns, it begins to change flavor. In fact, it keeps changing flavor as it gets hotter and hotter. So this tobacco takes patience. But it's worth the wait. After about 20 minutes, you're getting mouthfulls of smokey subtle sweetness - almost like a grape flavor - but not fake, chemically, or candy-ish like cavendish flavored blends. Again, I think this is from the Virginias. It's a natural sweetness that haters of cavendish could appreciate. This blend is almost as smooth as Commadore Flake but has a radically different flavor. Darn! Writing this has put me in the mood for more! I've read that it is imbued with mocha. If it is, I can't detect it. Instead, I get earthy, smokey, dark fruit. Pretty awesome stuff!

Great blend, the mocha flavor doesnt overpower the tobacco, nice mild smoke could be enjoy it with the morning coffee or chocolate.
