The Gurkha Revenant Maduro Toro is a box-pressed gem dressed in oily Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper, packing Nicaraguan and Dominican T-13 hybrid filler wrapped in Cameroon binder. This 6"x54 toro comes in boxes of 20 at $144, delivering medium-bodied smoke perfect for pairing with bourbon. Designed by Tabacalera El Artista's Ram Rodriguez, this "resurrected blend" offers daily luxury without breaking the bank.
Black pepper kicks through dark chocolate base, with espresso bitterness keeping sweetness in check. Smoke output feels medium-bodied despite the ominous dark wrapper, showing tight white ash that holds strong.
Caramelized nuts emerge through Cameroon's honeyed influence. Leather and cinnamon spice develop as the Nicaraguan filler takes charge. Burn stays even without corrections, though nicotine starts creeping up.
Mineral undertones surface beneath molasses sweetness. Smoke turns creamier but gains intensity - expect full nicotine satisfaction by this stage. Cut it short at 1.5" nub unless you're chasing that buzz.
The San Andrés wrapper brings signature bittersweet chocolate notes from Mexico's volcanic soil. Nicaraguan fillers from Estelí (pepper) and Jalapa (sweetness) combine with Dominican leaf for complexity. Cameroon's thin binder leaf adds honey nuances without compromising burn.
