Gurkha Ninja

[bigw]

The Ninja I smoked was a rather large perfecto. The wrapper was dark and oily, smooth and no veins I could distinguish. it was firm to the touch. The prelight draw was smooth and easy, bu not too easy. I got hints of tobacco, chocolate with a slight vegtal aftertaste. Upon lighting I noticed it was a bit more medium bodied than I had expected and not too complex, which was ok at 8 AM. The ash was firm and medium grey with a black vein running through it. The overall characteristics were earthy and woody and did not change much. The ash held on to the halfway point were I flicked it in fear of waeing it. Overall It was a fine cigar for a quite morning to catch up on some reading and Iwould smoke again. Might have to get a 5 pack to put into rotation.
