Gurkha His Majesty’s Reserve |
||
|
Where to purchase |
||
| Gurkha His Majesty’s Reserve (HMR) holds the title of “world’s most expensive cigar ever made.” If you are looking for the absolute best, this is it.
For years, Gurkha has been known as the “Rolls Royce” of the cigar industry. Its reputation stems from unique blends of rare tobaccos hand crafted by the world’s foremost rollers. “His Majesty’s Reserve” is no exception, made from the most expensive cognac and premium tobacco. HMR starts with a rare aged Dominican wrapper that covers a secret blend of filler tobaccos from all over the world. Once the cigars are rolled, they then undergo a unique infusion process that involves an entire bottle of Louis XIII Cognac. This infusion process is very unique in that it does not take away from the tobacco flavor of the aged leaves, but rather complements them in grand fashion. Fewer than 100 boxes of HMR are produced every year and the allocation of these rare gems is decided by Gurkha President Kaizad Hansotia. There is no finer cigar, blend, packaging, or tobacco in the world. There are few blends, if any, that could lay claim to being finer. |

Where to purchase |
||
| The Gurkha Beast is a rare limited production blend with only 1,000 boxes produced annually.
Just as its name indicates, the Beast is a massive 6.5 x 58, allowing for several hours of smoking time with a large ring gauge to ensure the cigar never burns too hot. Medium to full-bodied and full-flavored, the Beast draws much of its flavor from the aged Costa Rican Maduro wrapper that covers the cigar. This wrapper is accentuated by a tri-country filler from the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Columbia. The Beast is yet another successful blend from a company that makes some of the rarest and most unique cigars on the market. Their use of some of the world’s best aged tobacco puts them at the top of the industry and with limited production runs, each cigar is rolled with precision and detail, ensuring a strict level of quality control. This will not be a regular item from Gurkha and these will sell out fast. Don’t miss your chance to try this exquisite blend. |

Gurkha Black Dragon |
||
|
Where to purchase |
||
| A peaty and leathery cigar from Gurkha, the Black Dragon is an exclusive Honduran blend made from select fillers, which create a rich cigar with a medium body.
The Black Dragon story began in 2006 when it hit the market with the hefty price tag of $1,150.00 per cigar, the most expensive cigar ever made. Only 5 hand-carved camel bone boxes of 100 cigars were produced, making this stick very, very limited. The blend included extremely old and rare tobaccos collected from all corners of the world. To make the Black Dragon more accessible to cigar enthusiasts throughout the world, a new version was recently released in 2007. This new blend has a similar flavor and uses similar tobaccos, but does not cost nearly as much as its predecessor. Notes of earth and leather are strongly noticeable and combine nicely with a medium body that has some kick, but is not overwhelmingly powerful. Like all Gurkhas, the new Black Dragon comes packaged in extremely attractive boxes, making them look almost as good as they taste. The Black Dragon is another fine addition to the Gurkha portfolio and one that is also highly recommended. |

Gurkha Turk |
||
|
Where to purchase |
||
| Gurkha has outdone themselves again, this time using a rare strand of Turkish tobacco to round out a blend simply called the “Gurkha Turk.”
Widely known as the “Rolls Royce of Cigars,” Gurkha is notorious for developing higher end cigars, most of which were originally created for royalty. Regarding packaging, no expense is spared during the creation process making many of Gurkha’s boxes collector’s items. Owned by Kaizad Hansotia, Gurkha is the staple for all enthusiasts seeking exquisitely rare, premium cigars that utilize many different exotic tobaccos. Gurkha Turk starts with a seamless Ecuadorian grown Connecticut wrapper. This beautiful leaf conceals Cuban-seed long-filler from the Cibao Valley in the Dominican Republic blended with specially selected, exotic Turkish tobaccos making way for complex nuances of cedar, coffee, and sugarcane. Rich and creamy, Turk is much different from other Gurkha cigars where as the strength was drastically removed, allowing for an incredibly smooth, mild experience. Most comparable to the Symphony, Gurkha Turk is an excellent every day cigar, perfect in the morning, noon, or night. |

According to Kaizad Hansotia, Warlord is one of his greatest blends ever created. |
