Tres Decadas Gordo Cigar (6.5 x 56)

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.

To mark three decades in the cigar business for VP of Sales Juan Lopez, Gurkha has released a new limited edition cigar, Tres Decadas. The blend features an Ecuadorian-Habano Oscuro wrapper, Nicaraguan binder from Jalapa, and Nicaraguan fillers of viso from Condega, ligero from Esteli and seco from Ometepe. This medium-bodied cigar features a deep body of earthiness, spice, and sweetness, reflecting his philosophy of "unwavering commitment to quality and a deep respect for the craft." Offered in three vitolas, shown here is the Gordo.
