An attractive stick, though that is one of the few positive points I can make about Gurkha Doble Maduro.
Appearance : 
Very handsome cigar. Seemed like it would be so much better than it was.
Construction : 
Again, Gurkha Doble Maduro looked nice, but once you began to feel it you easily found the hollow spots and lumps. Well disguised though.
Flavor :
Started out really weak and a hard draw. The first third wasn’t impressive at all. It gained momentum on the second, but oddly enough there was still no flavor, more of a spicy stinginess. Strange. The final third was about the same. Bland with a little sting to it.
Value :
By far not worth the price.
Overall Rating :
I spent the whole time trying to stop runs and keep a steady burn. The work far outweighed the quality.

Didn’t really like it. The construction was awful, and the taste.. didn’t notice anything special, too spicy and acid.

I have smoked several of these Doble Maduros and have never had a problem with construction, burn or flavor. Sounds like maybe you had one that wasn’t aged well enough or humidified evenly. That happens sometimes with young cigars, especially ones right off the truck (recently shipped). Try another one after letting it rest a few weeks in the humi, you might be surprised.
I agree with Cindy. This is one of my favorite maduro cigars. I have smoked these cigars for the last 1 1/2 yrs or so and they always burn perfect start to finish. I find there is lots of smooth but complex flavors throughout also, never disappoints. They do get smoother with some extra time in the humi.
