Gurkha Cigars
DESCRIPTION
Gurkha Ghost Spook, Shadow (Robusto) and Exorcist (XO) offer a rich Maduro experience with a modern, surprisingly accessible character. The Ghost range is renowned for its alluringly dark Brazilian Arapiraca Maduro wrapper and a complex flavour profile featuring sweet, earthy undertones alongside lingering notes of cocoa and cinnamon. That’s exactly why this range belongs in every humidor – whether you’re looking for a short, full-bodied format or prefer a long evening smoke.
Blend & Character of the Gurkha Ghost range
The blend features a dark Brazilian Arapiraca Maduro wrapper, combined with a matured Criollo 1998 binder and carefully selected filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. This combination delivers a rich, medium- to full-bodied smoke that remains pleasantly creamy. The flavour profile typically features cocoa, warm spices, earthiness and an elegant, dark sweetness – this is precisely what makes Gurkha Ghost so popular and (depending on the review) highly acclaimed.
Three sizes – three moments of enjoyment
Spook is the short ‘Gordo kick’: at 4" x 60, it delivers plenty of smoke volume straight away and a particularly creamy mouthfeel – ideal for a quick break. Shadow, in the classic Robusto size (5" x 52), is the all-rounder: well-balanced, rich in flavour and perfect for unwinding after work. Exorcist (XO) (6" x 60) is the marathon runner of the range – plenty of volume, a long burn time and a particularly velvety profile, in which cocoa, roasted notes and spices unfold wonderfully.
Serving suggestion
Gurkha Ghost pairs superbly with espresso, a slightly sweet rum or a full-bodied bourbon. For those who prefer non-alcoholic options, try black tea or cola-flavoured drinks (e.g. vanilla cola), which beautifully highlight the dark sweetness and cocoa notes. Tip: smoke it slowly – this keeps the smoke cooler, the burn more stable and the flavour profile noticeably rounder.

Sehr zufrieden
Die Zigarre ist schön anzusehen, verströmt einen dominanten Kaltgeruch und überzeugt auch beim Rauchvergnügen. Fantastischer Zug (gebohrt) und ein erhebliches Rauchvolumen. Macht richtig Freude und das mit dem besonders weissen Rauch stimmt ebenfalls. Die Aromen sind holzig, erdig und etwas Süsse kommt auch herum. Ein sehr natürliches Raucherlebnis. Keine Spur von Bitterkeit oder Schärfe. Ich empfand sie der Camacho Broadleaf ähnlich, welche es zu einem günstigeren Preis zu kaufen gibt. Aber ansonsten kann ich sie durchaus empfehlen.

A beast for the price
This is a beautiful smoke. Its not overpowering but still a great flavor. I smoked this all the way down to the nub with mere cm’s to spare and never got a hot inhale. For the asking price this is something you need to try. Buy it now!

Klasse Zigarre!
Cremiger und süsslicher Rauch, schokoladige Aromen, prima Abbrand, sehr hohes Rauchvolumen mit weissem Rauch, das Ding dampft wie eine Lokomotive, was ich persönlich jedoch sehr mag :) Werde ich definitiv wieder rauchen!

Gut
Klasse Abbrand und super Zug. Spannende Mischung aus schokoladiger Cremigkeit und angenehmer Würzigkeit.
