Cigar of the Month – November ‘09 – Gurkha’s Evil & Assassin

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

EVIL                          ASSASSIN

Fillers:                         Nicaraguan               Nicaraguan/Peruvian
Binder:                        Dominican                Dominican
Wrapper:                    Brazilian                    Brazilian

It may have been three months since the big cigar trade show but smokin’ hot new releases keep making their way into our humidors.  For November’s “Friday the 13TH”, we have brought back Gurkha Cigars for the release party of the “Evil & Assassin” blends.  Both the Evil & Assassin cigars employ a very rich and oily Brazilian wrapper.  Think of espresso on a latte diet.  Now, we add aged Dominican binder leaves to give shape to these decadent smokes.  Evil’s fillers are 100% Nicaraguan while, Assassin uses a Nicaraguan & Peruvian blend for its foundation.  A full-tilt explosion of coffee, molasses and hickory steep from the Evil’s blend.  Assassin steps away from its sibling, tapers intensity for complexity.  Assassin’s Dagger will strike at the heart of most pallets and leave one wanting more and more.
This “Friday the 13TH”, come join Gurkha Cigars with old & new friends at the “World Famous” Cigar Bar’s Gulfcoast location from 8-11pm.  For this events limited three hours we will have specials on Gurkha Cigars like never before.  For November we’ve paired the Grand Mariner family of liquors with your Gurkha smokes.  So, come on down and help us start off our third year at the Gulfcoast with friends, family, and fun.

As Always,
Happy Smokin’

Journalist from Ain’t It Cool News gifted Robert Downey Jr. a Gurkha Grand Reserve!

Friday, August 7th, 2009

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a really fun interview I conducted with Robert Downey Jr. and Rachel McAdams for SHERLOCK HOLMES at Comic-Con.

This was an odd one for me as it was a total surprise until right before it happened. I knew I was interviewing the SHERLOCK producers (coming soon), but it wasn’t until I went to check in for that interview that I knew I had Downey and McAdams as well.

Awesome, but that left me with little to prepare… but fuck it, right? I like to make these things conversational anyway (ie make it up as I go).

It was my first time talking with McAdams (and yes, she’s as lovely in real life as she is up on the silver screen), but not Downey. I got to chat with him for the first IRON MAN a couple of years ago and recently ran into him on a set visit. I knew he smoked cigars so I gifted him one from my stash, a Gurkha Grand Reserve. It’s a fun one to gift aficionados because it comes in a glass tube sealed with gold wax… nice presentation.

Anyway, I mention this only because we hit on that straight away… right after I introduced myself to McAdams who mistook me for Drew McWeeny. That’s not the first time and it won’t be the last, but that’s fine. I’m mistaken for two people constantly… Drew and Guillermo del Toro. Both are gentlemen of fine stock and persuasion, so I can only be flattered.

That’s where our chat begins right after her saying we met on the set of Sherlock Holmes and me saying that I am not Mr. McWeeny. Enjoy!
