    Gurkha Cigars

    The goal of K. Hansotia & Co., the crafters of Gurkha cigars, is to “produce the finest vintage cigars in the world using only the highest quality tobaccos.” The Gurkha cigar owes its origins to the height of British rule in India, when the local colonial soldiers began to make their own cigars from the local tobacco. Named after these soldiers, the Gurkha eventually lapsed into obscurity. In 1887, however, the Gurkha cigar line returned and has since been dubbed the “Rolls-Royce of Cigars” because of its distinction, unsurpassed quality and rarity. It features specially aged and fermented wrappers, as well as binder and filler tobaccos grown from Cuban piloto-seed. The secret to His Majesty Reserve, Gurkha’s finest cigar, is the infusion of Louis XIII Cognac into the wrapper tobacco. The process is so unique, time consuming and expensive that no other manufacturer will go to the trouble or expense of duplicating the process. The result is a masterful cigar worthy of a king.

    The Beast is a medium to full-bodied smoke featuring an aged Costa Rican wrapper, binder tobacco from Honduras and the Dominican Republic, and filler tobaccos hailing from Columbia. It is a strong and robust cigar with flavorful notes of cedar and spice.

    Gurkha Black Beauty Cigars

    Gurkha Centurian Cigars

    The Centurian may be Gurkha’s most prestigious cigar. It was originally commissioned by one of the world’s richest and most prestigious men, the Sultan of Brunei, as his personal cigar. Produced in extremely limited numbers, it is a medium-bodied smoke featuring a Connecticut wrapper and 8-year-old Dominican fillers.

    Gurkha G3 Cigars

    Gurkha Signature 1887

    Signature 1887 is a limited cigar by Gurkha available in either a natural or maduro wrapper.

    Gurkha cigars are well known for being full-flavored and full-bodied. In addition, each line is uniquely different due to the exotic tobaccos utilized during the blending process, creating an endless amount of delicious flavor profiles. Signature 1887 is no different. Like the other cigars in Gurkha’s prestigious portfolio, this line is well constructed, produces a great aroma, and is complex while still maintaining its own level of uniqueness.

    Gurkha Titan Cigars

    Gurkha Titan Cigars

    While not as large as the Beauty and the Beast, the Titan is a behemoth of flavor. It features an aged 1996 Costa Rican wrapper, a 5-year-aged Nicaraguan binder and vintage filler tobaccos hailing from Honduras, Colombia and the Dominican Republic.
