I smoked the Beast last night and it was a great smoke. We had some friends in town so we cooked a couple of pork loins, sausage, and some ribs. Of course we had plenty of scotch, beer, and vodka tonics, along with wine for the ladies.
Anyway, my buddy had bought a Gurkha Beast, and then regretted it since he usually does not spend that much on a single stogie. So I thought I would trade three smaller smokes, so he wouldn't feel as bad--plus the Beast looked interesting.
Anyway, the Beast was great! It is huge--6.5x58--so I smoked on it for a long time while I was cooking for everyone. I am a fan of the Gurkha's and the Beast was no exception. It's flavor was very consistant throughout and it had a nice ceder taste. I don't know how many of these I will smoke, since they are $25 dollars a pop at the local B&M, but I enjoyed this stogie, and I might buy one for a similiar occasion so I can enjoy a long smoke while cooking and talking with friends. If I was going to buy another cigar in that price range for the overall taste, I might purchase a Partagas 160 or a Padron 26, but the Beast is a good solid smoke that lasts forever and is great for socializing.
Hope everyone else is having a great weekend,
Woogie :ss
