Review: La Perla Habana, Gurkha Regent, and La Galera Maduro.


The review of the classic La Perla Habana Belicoso.  Made out of Nicaragua filler and binder and an Indonesian wrapper.



Burn: 4/5  (Burned fairly evenly throughout)
Draw: 5/5  (smooth draw throughout the smoke)
Smoke: 4/5  (good smoke produced)
Relight:  5/5  (had no relights at all)
Taste: 8/10  (a mild but flavorful cigar. Pleasant on the palette)

Total Score: 26/30

Overall:  A complete surprise!  Was a great smoke that burned even and had nice taste to it.  At a significant lower price point this one would be great to always have on hand and share.


Gurkha Regent, a Honduran cigar with Honduran Habana 2000 wrapper.


Burn: 4/5  (Burned fairly evenly throughout)
Draw: 4/5  (tight draws at the beginning, but then smooth throughout)
Smoke: 4/5  (good smoke produced)
Relight:  5/5  (had no relights at all)
Taste: 9/10  (medium flavored cigar with great notes of spice.  Great on the palette)

Total Score: 26/30

Overall:  Great stick!  Amazing flavor on the palette and constructed very well.  The medium to just slightly bold taste is even throughout the smoke.


La Galera Maduro.  This beauty was a selection from the Cigar Dave's Officer Club.  Beautiful stick and even more beautiful label!  Couldn't wait to try this one!



Burn: 4/5  (Burned fairly evenly throughout)
Draw: 5/5  (Great draw from beginning to end)
Smoke: 5/5  (no problems here)
Relight:  5/5  (had no relights at all)
Taste: 9/10  (medium bodied cigar with rich and smooth tastes)

Total Score: 28/30

Overall:  Almost the perfect stick!  Completely great from start to finish.  Only a slightly unevenness on the burn.  Rich medium bodied flavor.  Would certainly look into buying this one!
