·      In May, The Metro-East Cigar Enthusiasts Meetup (Blind Taste Test) enlisted help from Amy at Gurkha Cigar Company. Amy suggested the Shaggy Cigar.  The Shaggy cigar is packed in loose tobacco and has an unfinished foot. We had about 30 Cigar Enthusiast sampling the cigar this month: Beautiful cigar, started good, stronger as it was smoked. Great construction, little pricy but overall smooth and good.   Very nice cigar!
