“(Gurkha Centurian Double-X) This cigar is unbelievable and will simply take your breath away. This one out cubans the cubans.”
“For those of you that have not had the privilege of smoking one of these beauties(Gurkha Centurian Double-X), I would suggest doing so. Gorgeous cigar with tremendous flavor. Yes, they are a bit pricey but these guys at CI do run some great deals on them every now and again. CI I want to thank you for your speedy service and your unbeatable deals. -D”
“I agree with JT. These are GREAT (Gurka Centurian Double-X), and had they not sold out so fast, I would have ordered more. The best of the best.”
“Gurkha, the name alone grabs your attention. Right off the bat, you know you have one of the best quality cigars(Gurkha Centurian) in the world. That's enough for me.”
“I got these (Gurkha Centurian Double-X) from the CI special and wished I had bought a lot more at that price. These are at the top of my wish list. They were smoooth, with lots of smoke and pure enjoyment. I will be watching for the next deal on these guys.”
“I grabbed 3 of these in the 15 Fabulous Figurados sampler and I must say they don't disappoint. Like the staff review states, it's a little tight on the draw for the first 5 minutes, but once you get the foot burning it's as smooth as silk. The burn is spectacular, the ash tends not to fall off unless you force it to. For a darker wrapped smoke it's really not too strong. I'd recommend this perfecto to anyone who smokes cigars, whether your a seasoned smoker or a newbie looking to whet your palette. If I had to give it a # rating it's a solid 95!!!!”
“I usually like Gurkha, however these figurados had a problem with bursting in the middle. The two I smoked had the same problem. I like my other Gurhkas, especially the small batch blend.”
“I've been ordering some of your weekly and daily specials. This is by far the best you've offered (Gurkha Centurian Double-X).”
“Just another addition to my expanding "GURKHA" selection. The Centurian....if you happen across a better brand of cigar, please let me know. Good luck.”
“The best cigar (Gurkha Centurian Double - X) I've ever smoked, period. Flawless wrapper, smooth and creamy with a touch of spice. This is the smoke that all cigar makers strive for. Normally out of my price range, but thanks to the great CI 2-fer, I am able to enjoy cigar perfection! Thanks CI!”
“One of the best Cigars I've ever had. Smooth with no hint of sharpness, just a little slice of heaven all the way to the nub. I got some of these in a sampler pack deal and am always out on the lookout for more. You simply cannot go wrong picking this cigar.”
“This is one, complex, bodacious smoke! Should have ordered 4 of these instead of 1. Hopefully it will come back. never had a smoke that changed 3 times on me. Starts off mellow, picks up some nice strength, then mellows toward the end. Amazing!”
“This smoke (Gurkha Centurian Double-X) is outstanding in almost every respect. The flavor and body are perfectly balanced. There is a nice spiciness there that really kicks it up a notch. This is my all time favorite. Although the price is a little steep on my type of budget. Great with a McCallans 18 yr single malt.”
“Wow! A big, burly smoke (Gurkha Centurian Double-X). A complex blend of flavors that is simply exquisite! It's a shame they're so damn expensive (PLEASE run that special again!) - but this is one phenomenal cigar.”
“The Gurkha Centurian, there are no other cigars!”
“I had my first Centurian Double Perfecto a few years ago, before I knew anything about them. It was so good that I gave one to a friend to try and he was impressed with it as well. Fast forward to today and I don't give this cigar to anyone who isn't an experienced cigar smoker and a good friend! The Centurian Double Perfecto is the best non-Cuban cigar on the market. If you do your homework, you can get some outstanding deals on these cigars in some of CI's sampler packs.”
“I'm NOT going to like it when this cigar is no longer available; simple as that. Typically Gurkha (Centurian), the construction is excellent and the taste marvelous. The initial draw was a bit tight and the burn required a wee bit of attention, but this cigar rates very high on my personal list. The next-to-nothing price in the 'special' made it even more special.”
“I want to thank CI for putting the Gurkha Centurians on sale, These cigars are the absolute best cigar ever made. I just ordered 36 cigars today, Cant wait to get em. If you are a cigar nut like i am, You owe it to yourself to get your hands on these beauties. CI- Please keep these specials coming, I love you guys,and girls.”
“Wow. These cigars (Gurkha Centurian)are excellent. Lots of flavor off the start, a nice, mellow middle and just enough flavor at the end to leave a pleasant aftertaste. Even more impressive is that my order arrieved in roughly 9 days- and I am a soldier in Iraq! Kudos CI.”
“This cigar (Gurkha Centurian) is wonderful, a mild-medium with fantastic flavors including chocalate, nutty and a touch of spice. This is a great early morning cigar while the sun is coming up with a cup of java. Siply wonderful !!”
“Gurkha is the finest cigar outfit in the world! I just smoked a centurion that I had been aging for two years. It was the best, and most flavorful smoke I have ever had in my 10 years of cigar smoking. Cubans have nothing on these fine full-bodied smokes. Try any type to fit your preference and you'll be very pleased.”
“If you are looking for a cigar for special occasions that wont break your piggy bank then look no further (Gurkha Centurian). This is one of my favorite cigars to smoke when I am looking for something more than your average cigar but not looking to spend "too much". Great cigar that will easily last you hours. Dont light up if you only have 1 hour to smoke though or you will be late :-)”
“THANKS FOR SPOILING MY HUSBAND! HE IS IN LOVE WITH THE CENTURIAN!! I PICKED THEM UP ON A 1 DAY DEAL AND HE ABSOLUTELY ENJOYED EACH AND EVERY ONE. HE CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO GO ON SALE AGAIN!! (( PLEASE!!!))”
“my good friend gave me 1 for Christmas and i LOVED IT! usually i'm not a fan of perfectos or torpedos but the tobacco more than made up for it. almost needed a roach clip to finish it off. too bad i can't afford them but it was surely a welcomed gift.”
“My favorite puro (Gurkha Centurian). No contest. I can't find another cigar that compares to this gem. Each puff, from start to finish, delivers amazing amounts of exquisite flavor. Smoother than silk. Sleeker than satin. Please DON'T buy this puro, I want them all.”
“The (Gurkha Centurian) is by far the most exspensive non cuban cigar I have ever smoked. I can see why. It is a very well shaped, well rolled, and well smoked. Worth the money? That is all relative. If you can get a good deal on them then absolutely, but if you are buying them solo then you can probably get a cheaper high quality stick. The Centurian and the Gurkha Black Puro are my favorite of this brand so far. So far is the key word.”
“I rank this as the best cigar I've ever smoked. My father, my best friend, and a co-worker, all of whom are regular cigar smokers agreed with me that this is, indeed, the best cigar they've ever smoked. It's strong, sweet, and constructed exceptionally well (a Gurkha trademark). A real treat at any price, especially CI's.”
“Really great. What is nice about this perfecto (Gurkha Centurian) is how blatantly it changes in flavor as you smoke through the widening and narrowing girth. This cigar starts with a nice spice flavor, deepens into a rich complex medium, bordering on full bodied taste, and then mellows into a smooth satisfying finale. A unique and recognizable flavor as obvious and pleasing as some of the medium bodied Cubans. I was really surprised and delighted. A+…don’t hesitate! It is like a tasty satisfying snack.”
“Wow gave this to my friends and boy was it a hit. Mellow to start followed by some spice and flavor then mellow till it burned my fingers. One friend set the Centurian as his new bar 9.5/10.”
“Nice smooth smoke (Gurkha Centurian) with great flavor! Every puff brings me great joy and with CI's Absurd Ghurka Deal the price is good too.”
“I was expecting the world with this cigar but I was not fully satisfied. I love Gurkha cigars and this is a decent cigar from gurkha but not their best. First off, I had this in my humi for about three months. Idiot proof lighting but I had to relight it several times. Flavor was nice and earthy with a peppery profile. Med-Full body. Nice ash with even burn but not worth spending 13 bucks a stick. I would rather spend the money on Graycliff turbo or montecristo #2. Overall I would have to give it a 7.5 out of ten. Who knows maybe I got a bum stick. I have several more in my humi and with a little more aging they might be better.”
“This cigar bombards you (Gurkha Centurian) with flavor. Puff after puff you get something new. It is definatly something you should try if you like the Gurkha lineup or are just interested in trying out a new super premium cigar. It is smooth and very flavorfull. You won't be let down with this one, especially if you are into super premiums.”
“Awesome smoke (Gurkha Centurian). Smoked the darn thing til I almost burned my upper lip...and my fingers. Definitely wanna try other Gurkha varieties.”
“The Gurkha Centurian, Hum, lets just say the Bar has been raised if you are looking for great taste, amazing aroma, but please don't take this medium body cigar lightly it will leave you a little light headed!!”
“Hey gang!Scored a few 5-packs(Gurkha Centurian) with the Pad.Miami& Graycliff Turbo with each pack,C.I. you really value your customers!The Centurian is everything Steve-O and Brand-O say they are.Smoked one the other day and this cigar just took me to another place-a good place.No need to go over the details but I must say,the last 2 inches had the strongest caramel flavor I ever had from any cigar.Will put the rest away for a long nap.K. Hansotia is an amazing craftsman-as always Thanks C.I.”
“This is one of my all time favorite smokes.... something that I must stockpile!”
“One of my top ten. So earthy it's like smoking a handful of rich soil. The perfecto lives up to the name, I shave just a little off of the cap for the perfect draw, and the tapered foot lights up with minimal effort. Builds in flavor as it burns down past the largest section, finishes full-strength.”
“My favorite cigar. Big flavor, smooth draw, burns cool. Beautiful construction. Just about perfect.”
“just received a centurian 5 pack from the daily deal. couldnt wait to smoke one. The draw was very hard and i had to puff like a mad man to keep it lit. had to touch up the burn a bit. other that that i liked the cigar and everything was good. Im going to let them rest in my humi for a couple of months and see if it helps.”
“Absolutely exquisite! After 6-9 months rest in the humidor this stick is amazing. Perfectly constructed, traditional shape and flavor, and with CI pricing it is a great smoke. Strong but manageable and enjoyable.”
“A well made cigar that filled my mouth with smoke on every draw. However, I make no excuse for my likes and dislikes since were all not the same. This cigar came in a sampler pack that I purchased, and I was glad to have the chance to smoke one. That being said, while the cigar is a masterpiece in it's construction. It is not one I would purchase per pack, box, or only one. This is not a smooth smoke no matter what any one tells you, unless your definition of smooth is a strong robust cigar. The 12 pack of Gurkha Empires I purchased, are as strong as I like a cigar to be. The Centurian packs a much harder punch, but I smoke it all the way down just because I am not going to throw the money away that I spent on them. If you want a well made, full of smoke in each draw, full bodied cigar, then this one is for you. For those that stay on the moderate to the edge of robust, but the Oliva G instead.”
“I have to say, this was an impressive and flavorful smoke. Purchased these as part of the Flawess Figurados sampler and smoked one after a week in the 'dor. Was very disappointed that the first stick arrived with the wrapper completely unraveled - something I'd expect from a much cheaper stick. For the price I think this is inexcusable. The second stick was better constructed though the burn was uneven at times. Still, I'd have to rate this as one of the best cigars I've smoked.”
“I recently bought the Gurkha Gorge-Fest for the second time, which is a fantastic promotion and hope it stays around for a long time. I ordered the Centurion in the first batch, and it instantly became my number one favorite!! Just got in my second Gorge Fest order..bought three new cigars I had never tried before, but the first one to burn had to be the Centurion, and it certainly disappoint me. I plan for this to be my regular Saturday night and special occassion cigar.”
“Just got my centurion's in today. I must say I was a little disappointed when the wrapper came apart about 1/3 the way through. A very good cigar I'm hoping that the wrappers just dried out during shipping. Kicked the humidor up some to see if it softens the wrapper up a bit. Other than that, a mighty fine cigar that will be stocked if the wrappers don't keep falling apart.”
“I tried my first Centurian this evening while enjoying 3 fingers of Makers Mark and a beer. I have to say I was disapointed, It did not light very well at first I had to cut the cigar back a bit then I got a decent light and acually a decent smoke for about 30 minute then it started to burn poorly and got a bit harsh, I normally enjoy a milder cigar but this one was acually pretty good untill about half way through then it tanked. I have 5 more to try out so hopefully this was just fluke and the rest will change my opinion. ”
