Gurkha: Grand Age II Maduro Toro 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.

A follow-up to Gurkha's esteemed Grand Age series, the Grand Age II consists of three cigars that are all offered in a 6 x 54 Toro vitola. Handmade at the Las Villas Cigars factory in Nicaragua, the Grand Age II is comprised of an undisclosed blend. However, each cigar in the series is defined by a different wrapper, with this offering showcasing a Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper.
