The Gurkha Vintage Shaggy Toro is an interesting looking cigar. It has a dark as night maduro wrapper with an open or "shaggy" foot at the end. Supposedly this is to make lighting and maintaining an even burn easier. I would have to agree with that. This was one of the easiest burning Gurkha's I have had.
The flavor starts out heavy with earth and coffee and mellows to a thick bready flavor. Burn was extremly easy with a decent draw. Medium bodied but I could have smoked this all day. Very smooth.
Besides the shaggy foot the most interesting thing about this was the band. Instead of the famous gold Gurkha band, there is a copper band. Very striking against the dark maduro wrapper. 8.5/10
