Gurkha Centurian Double Perfecto

These are easily my favorite cigar! Got 12 gars for 35 bones through MMAO. Thanks CI!

Twelve Gurkha Centurian Double Perfectos at $3 bucks a piece??? That's right...twelve Perfectos for $36 bucks! Probably my best "Make Me an Offer" deal to date.

Tasty cigar, but I've never had to work so hard at keeping one lit. To be honest I've had better smokes at half the price.

....I finally smoke it to the nub. The aroma has it's own like no other cigar. The burn was alright. The taste was fantastic. I really feel this cigar one of the best I've ever smoked.

Smoked my first Gurkha Centurian Dbl. Perfecto last night. I have to say that this is an excellent cigar! The spicy note was balanced perfectly, not over the top, but always there. It had a great lingering aftertaste as well, also well balanced. Will be moving this one up on my list.

This cigar is one of the best in the Gurkha line-up. The longer you puff, the better it tastes! The presentation lives up to the great tasting cigar. Centurian is a great cigar.

Amazing cigar. Beautiful wrapper and very pleasant aroma. Taste of wood and cream at the start, becoming strong about 1/3 of the way in. A little spice at the half way point. Plenty of smoke throughout. Somewhat uneven burn, but not enough to be an issue. Great taste all the way around. I can not describe the taste at the end. Unlike any other cigar I have smoked. Very pleased.

Don't have a sophisticated enough palate to detect all those exotic flavors like some guys can, just know it TASTES GOOD! Has a nice thin burn line on the wrapper which I understand means that it's very fine tobacco. And a perfect draw down to the tiniest of nubs, to just before my moustache would go up in flames! And lucky enough to purchase a Daily Deal 12 pack with great savings from the regular price.

Don't have a sophisticated-enough palate to detect all those exotic flavors like some guys can, just know it TASTES GOOD! Has the thinnest wrapper burn line I've ever seen, which I understand means it's the very finest tobacco. And since I was lucky enough to get them as a Daily Deal, only had to pay about 67 cents/in.($3.99/6) vs. $2.50/in.($15/6) at full price. Perfect draw down to the tiniest nub. just before my moustache would go up in flames!

In my opinion these should be dry boxed for a day before smoking, reason why? When I first received them from CI I smoked one right out the box and it had no none nada pulling problems it was perfect from the first light down to the nub. Can't believe the price I got them, I just got to looking at the website and their back to full price again, neways great cigar great price.

This is the best cigar I have had in a long time. The flavor and draw are incredible!!

Man O' Man these cigars are awesome smokes. I go gaga over them. Mind blowing to say the least. Could very well be the best cigar I have ever smoked hands down! I know you will love them too.

i have tried a pack of these centurians along with other gurkha stogies and i can this about all gurkhas i have smoked. they unravel and split easily, and have never had one that didn't burn evenly. any sampler pack that has a gurkha in it i ignore. don't say you weren't warned.

Tasty. Got these on a deal. Smooth and flavorful. Changes in intensity throughout. Never a dull moment.

I was wary of the hype, but I have to admit the Centurian lived up to its reputation. The creamy flavor was absolutely delicious - I couldn't put it down. I considered stopping when there was one inch left, but couldn't do it - I kept smoking until I couldn't hold it any longer, with my fingers burning and the draw so hot it singed my lips. Limited edition? I'm stocking up!

Just had the Gurkha Centurian Double Perfecto for the first time and I have to say it lived up to description and more. Once again I did not want to toss the little nub that was left at the end of the cigar. This is right up there with the best I have enjoyed from CI. "go get them people"

Ok, so the last Gurkha I had was a Gurkha Beauty. A very mild cigar that did not impress me in the least. I just tried the Centurian and I have to admit I really like the bitter chocolate and coffee flavors. The only problem I would say is the same thing one other person had written. The Cigar felt soft in the middle before lighting. It started tunneling right before the soft line down the middle (Which I anticipated). I was worried that it might ruin the burn and I would have to toss the cigar before the halfway point. I was wrong. I touched it up and the problem fixed itself. At that point the wrap started to undo itself as I smoked the cigar down but never unraveled to where it ruined the smoke or the flavor. I did not have to baby the wrap but it was still undoing itself as the ash moved on. Overall I give the cigar a 9/10 in flavor (Although I would have preferred a little sweetness). Construction I would say maybe a 6/10. For a high end cigar there is absolutely no excuse for this. In this case being that I have seen other reviews with the same problem I will prefer to just stay away from this cigar. I would not turn one down though if someone offered me one^^(I love coffee and chocolate flavors). I don't mind paying a high price for a well constructed good flavor cigar.

Wow! Wow! Wow! To say this is a fine cigar is an understatement. I have not smoked a finer cigar since the Habano Partagas Series D and that cigar is a blockbuster from Cuba. This cigar is a titanic and if you have smoked many cigars you will extremely impressed. Right out of the box this was special. I can't even imagine what a cedar nap will do for these bad boys. At 30.00 a cigar well it's still worth it for a special occasion but for the outstanding price of 15 for 50.00 it's like getting a Lamborghini for a Hyundai price tag. Hide these from the neighbors. You will smoke it until you burn your fingers and then shed a tear that there's not more.

The construction of these cigars was not impressive there were noticeable difference in the shapes when compared this however did not affect the smoke. The first draw on the light had flavors of leather, toast, and cream, the first third continued these flavors with a very mild body. then the flavor simplified to almost completely cream, which I dare say was almost boring. luckily after the halfway point these flavors of leather, toast, and cream rebalanced with the addition of a nutty hint. overall it was a good stick, but very mild.

I bought these in a special sale several months ago. One of the best cigars I have had. When I went back to order more at the regular price I nearly choked at the cost. After several more months they have come back on sale. When you can save a $100 bucks over the CI regular low price you know you are getting a good deal and a good smoke. I got three bundles of 15 and will regret not getting more.

Another internet Gurkha Double Perfecto special deal...You Guys are killing me! I Love these things. Im pretty sure there is enough room in the Humi right next to the San Cristabols. you guys are awesome! Thanks

My favorite. Discovered on deployment and have kept some my humidor always on hand for a favorable moment of complete relaxation and enjoyment. Quite the smoke. Only had one that disappointed and one that lost the staying lit battle in windy conditions. For a starter it was a good 'hook' kind of like getting that great golf shot on the last hole after a horrible round. A can't miss and best to buy in the discounted sampler packs. Don't pass up on this one!

One of Gurkha's best tasting cigars . However, the wrappers crack even when in a humidor for 4 weeks.

The sultan of Brunei must have more money then brains. A guy can find a better smoke at half the price all over this website.

Such a glorious cigar... It just smokes so smooth, draws perfectly, and tastes amazing. I look forward to smoking the rest of these bad boys.

This is one of my favorites! Smooth yet rich with excellent texture. I would recommend this to anyone, rich and consistent down till the last pull. i have to say the flavor increase near the end is exquisite.BUT First cigar had trouble lighting, after that the rest were fine.

This is a very nicely rolled cigar. No need for a cutter. Im not really a fan of perfectos because they take a while to get going and to get to the power band of the cigar. This particular cigar is mild and simple well constructed and uneventful A good golf,boating or activity smoke. Leave it at that!

The where a great smoke right out of the pack! I cant wait to get me some more..should have save a few...

Gurkha Centurian double perfecto is a mild to medium bodied smoke. Flavors are a one dimensional creamy light tobacco, leather, and hints of nutmeg here and there. Construction has been a hit or miss with times of plenty relights and touch ups. Finish is semi long. I rate it a 89 when it's flawless, and a 84 when it is problematic. Overall, I'd take the 125th Anniversary over the Centurian.

Simply put; at retail, not a chance, at CI's great discounts, you bet. Keep your eyes open for deals because you know these dudes will have them.

Great item. This is an order that I made because I bought the Gurkha Gorge-fest sampler and got six of these puppies. They were so so tasty that I had to go out and get more. So even before finishing the original six, I bought another twelve for safe keeping. Highly enjoyed, highly recommended.

This is one of the most fantastic cigars I have ever smoked. It has a smooth, full flavor to it and is delicious down to the last pull. I greatly enjoyed this smoke and plan to order more of these in the future. Maybe I will get a whole box next time.

Love these. Burns evenly and slow. Very nice draw and aroma.

Bought a few of these recently and had my first one today and WOW! This cigar is absolutely perfect from start to finish. I found myself having a hard time putting it down even though there was literally nothing left to smoke. Great cigar and even greater flavor. Glad I bought a few and will definitely be stocking up on these.

These cigars were my first double perfecto shaped smoke. Excellent draw, exquisite taste, and magnificent aroma. Completely worth trying these sticks out.

Found this cigar in my Gurkha sampler pack and WOW, it takes your breath away from start to finish! Remember..."Life is too short to smoke cheap cigars !"....

These are legitimately great! Probably the best Gurkha I've had. As pretty of a cigar as you'll find - perfecto shape and reddish wrapper. Excellent draw, good construction, and terrific and slightly sweet flavor. Really hope these end up being regular production instead of a limited release.

I'm not usually one to write reviews....but I bought this double perfecto as a part of a 5 star sampler pack and I have to say, out of the CAOs and Toranos and this being the first Gurkha that I've smoked of the batch of 15 that I bought, Centurian has done away with the competition. I'm in the midst of sampling and seeking a cigar that I can feel proud to buy in bulk and though I'm not done with my samplers, I have to say, this one sent me to my computer simply so that I could write this review.... I'm astounded to say the least. CI, I thank you from the bottom of my charred lungs... The smoke had some flavor to it of which I cannot describe, but the after taste is still lingering. The burn was strategically even and I was enjoying it so much. that I just so happened to smoke it TOO slow, causing me to have to relight twice, but I can't complain a bit. I've never chewed on the end of a cigar before, but prior to putting it down, I took a bite out of the end just to savor the flavor one last time... (that's not to mention that I could not keep myself from gnawing on it from time to time during the process...) I don't know how I'll afford it, but I'm definitely stocking my humidor with some of these delectable beauties (Gurkha Centurian Double Perfectos) sometime in my near future, even if I have to conjure the money up out of thin air... They're just that enjoyable... Not just good... ENJOYABLE...

Greatest cigar ever made. From the mild start to the ever flavorful center to the robust finish. What an experience.

These cigars are excellent, I've never smoked anything quite like it. It has tremendous depth in terms of its flavor profile, and as the cigar burns, the profile continues to evolve. My favorite Gurkha by a long shot. When these are on sale, don't be left holding the bag. Buy these and you won't regret it.

Was given one of these by a guy in my unit not knowing how it would be. When I smoked it I thought it was one of the best cigars I have smoked. We sat out after a long day of work and smoked. Didn't want to put it down.

It's not just a smoke, it's like a holiday. It blooms into a full smoke with the best of Gurkha flavors.

This has got to be the most inconsistent cigar I have smoked. I got two with the Gurkha Total Carnage No. 2 in mid-October and 6 more with the Gurkha Gorge-Fest XLVIII at teh begining of November. I've had seven and every time it's different and most of he time that hasn't been good. When the taste is good, the draw is too tight. When the draw is good, the cigar has been harsh. I had one where the wrapper cracked. Relights. uneven burns, the list goes on and on. I have one remaining and I'm not overly optimistic about that one. Unfortunately what is probably a good smoke has been everything but that for me. The Sultan can have them.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tastes great, especially at the nub. But I dare you to try and get one of these to burn evenly.

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 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!!!!

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.

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.

My favorite cigar. Big flavor, smooth draw, burns cool. Beautiful construction. Just about perfect.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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) 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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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 Gurkha Centurian, there are no other cigars!

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!!!))

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 !!

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.
