San Miguel Petit Corona Cigar (4.25 x 42)

The term Gurkha stems from the Anglo-Nepalese war, when British soldiers began referring to Nepali fighters as Gurkhas. The military prowess of these soldiers impressed the British so much that the Gurkhas became an official military regiment within the British Indian Army, their skill in battle and steely resolve having become legend. In the late 19th century, British soldiers began rolling their own cigars from local tobacco and named these cigars after the legendary regiment, cigars whose production continued in various ways for over a century. In 1989, Kaizad Hansotia founded Gurkha cigars in its modern iteration, expanding its reach and focusing on offering super-premium cigars that would come to be associated with an upper-echelon experience and the utmost quality.

Produced at the Tabacos Valle de Jalapa S.A. (TABSA) factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, Gurkha's San Miguel cigar is a Nicaraguan puro composed of a shade-grown corjo wrapper, a double binder, and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. A medium-bodied smoke, the San Miguel cigar offers tasting notes of cream, pepper, earth, and cedar.
