Gurkha Nicaragua Cask Collection Robusto Cigar (5 x 52)

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.

For Gurkha, this cigar reminds them of a reason they are in this business - to create something that would surprise the experienced smoker. The Gurkha Nicaragua Cask Collection features a blend made entirely of Nicaraguan tobaccos, but tucked inside is what will set it apart from other Nicaraguan puros. Some of the filler tobaccos are aged in bourbon barrels, adding a complex layer of oak, vanilla, and whiskey notes to the rich notes that already come with Nicaraguan tobacco.
