The Gurkha cigar brand was founded in the 1980s by Kaizad Hansotia, who himself hails from India. The name ‘Gurkha’ derives from the Nepalese soldiers who fought for the British Empire on the Indian subcontinent. These warriors were famous for their curved daggers, which also feature on the Gurkha cigar logo.
As well as its impeccable cigars, Gurkha is also known for its elaborate and exclusive packaging. The cigars are manufactured at the Tamboril cigar factory in the Dominican Republic.
Gurkha Cigars offers a very diverse range of cigars. The Gurkha Royal Challenge line features mild to medium-strength cigars. For those who prefer something a little stronger, we can recommend the Gurkha Ghost or Gurkha Seduction.
The Gurkha 4-pack Robusto Sampler Set offers a lovely way to get to know the Gurkha Cigars collection. Thanks to its special presentation, it also makes an ideal gift.
