This is the Gurkha Spec Ops. This guys weighs in at 6 x 52 and it is HUGE! It was holding a damn 9 iron. Another great stick sent over from Cigars for Warriors. Pre-light: a velvety dark brown wrapper with tight seams. One big whiff and my nose is filled with a great barnyard (minus the cow shit) like aroma.
Cutting/Lighting: punch cut and lit up with no issues. First flavors are a smooth creamy chocolate flavor with a little spice. Draw is a little tight but it is a giant stick.
First 1/3: I get a lot of deep rich earthy chocolate and creamy tobacco. I might be crazy, never smoked a chocolate bar before. I think there is some spice on the long finish also.
Second 1/3: Weird...I taste like a black coffee flavor. Not bad at all. Draw is still a little tight but lots of smoke output. I would say the strength is a solid medium to medium full.
Final 1/3: Spice and chocolate is gone and a creamy coffee/tobacco flavor finished it off. Smoke time was an hour and thirty minutes.
Overall: I love Gurkhas. I think they have some of the best products out there and you can usually find them at good prices. This guy retails for about $10 but you can find them way cheaper. Try a sampler, and experience more. I have a bunch in my humi and I can't wait to light these bad mofos up.
