Classic Havana Blend Robusto Cigar (5.5 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.

When you're looking for a classic cigar, the Havana Blend answers the call. The blend utilizes a proprietary binder and filler combination from Nicaragua that underwent twenty different adjustments of the blend to get it just right. With a San Andrés wrapper overtop, the result is a full-flavored, medium-bodied smoke that fits into your rotation at any time of day. Offered in two box-pressed vitolas, shown here is the Robusto.
