Cellar Reserve Platinum Edition 12 Year Hedonism Cigar (6 x 58)

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 Cellar series utilizes tobacco that has been aged for a number of years. The Platinum Edition 12 Year series features an Ecuadorian-Oscuro wrapper that encases binder and filler tobaccos from Condega, Estelí, and Jalapa. As the name implies, those internal tobaccos have been aged for up to 12 years, creating a rich and complex medium-bodied smoke. Available in two vitolas, shown here is the Hedonism, a Grand Robusto.
