Gurkha: Ghost Connecticut Exorcist Cigars

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.

Gurkha's Ghost Connecticut cigar was introduced in 2023 as part of the Ghost line, when it joined the original and Gold blends. The Ghost Connecticut is a more mild to medium-boided cigar compared to the other Ghost blends, and it comprises an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, Mexican-grown binder, and fillers from Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and the United States. Complete with an approachable flavor profile presenting with creamy pepper and subtly sweet nuttiness, the Ghost Connecticut is an excellent cigar for smokers of any experience level.
