Sherpa is a collaboration between the Carlos Torano and his cigar-making and blending talents, and K. Hansotia of Gurkha cigars. The meticulous construction and superior tobaccos that comprise the new Sherpa brand attest to its quality. Draped in dark, attractive Brazilian wrappers that are practicallly oozing with oils, covering a wonderful blend of select long-leaf Cuban-seed Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. Densely packed and slow burning, Sherpa is a smooth, toasty cigar offering a medley of subtle flavors of cedar and nuts, complementing its medium-bodied flavor and pleasant aroma.

Notes:

This cigar was constructed very full and lightly veined. It held a nice ash and burned fairly slow and even. This cigar is offered in a natural and a maduro wrap with a filler mix of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco. The natural was the one I selected to try. It has a nice aroma and taste on the toasty side with some spice and leather, but it leaves a burning of the throat as if it needs further aging or the tobacco was not completely aged properly. It had to be rested quite often. If you have time to store it maybe better in six months.
