Gurkha Black Ops Maduro Toro

Cigar Intel

The Black Ops line from Gurkha Cigars  leans into darker profiles, and the Maduro Toro is the fullest expression of that approach. Wrapped in a deep, oily Maduro leaf and built around a Nicaraguan core, this Toro delivers a medium-to-full-bodied smoke with structure and balance.

In the 6 x 50 size, the blend has room to open up. You’ll get thick smoke output, a steady burn, and a draw that feels dialed in. It carries strength, but it’s controlled. Nothing sharp. Nothing chaotic. Just layered tobacco doing what it’s supposed to do.

This is a strong evening smoke. After dinner. With a pour. Or when you’re in the mood for something darker that still stays composed from first light to final inch.

Tasting Notes

Dark cocoa and roasted espresso show up early, backed by earth and charred wood. As it settles in, a natural sweetness balances the profile while black pepper builds gently in the background. The finish is warm, slightly smoky, and lingers without overwhelming your palate.
