Gurkha Grand Reserve Cognac Churchill
This has been my go to smoke for over 20 years. The last few boxes weren't what they used to be. I think that Gurkha might be cutting back on the expensive cognac that they use in these cigars. Previously you could smell the cognac on a unlit stick, you could taste it as soon as you put it to your lips and you would enjoy that taste it as you smoked it. Not so on the last several boxes that I'd smoked. This was a great cigar but, sad to say, not so any more. It's not worth the price, for an average cigar.
