Is it Nicaraguan
Late last year, Kaizad Hansotia created a unique holiday gift for the ultra-rich: a $115,000 box of 100 Gurkha Black Dragon cigars of 8 1/2 inches long and 52 ring gauge, offered in a specially carved humidor made of camel bone in India. He made five boxes and says that three have been sold to buyers in the Middle East.
The interest in the blend an aged Connecticut maduro wrapper, Cameroon binder and Dominican-grown filler leaves was so great that Hansotia created a Black Dragon series for the commercial market thats finally now shipping.
Weve already had re-orders before the cigars even got to a store, he said, confirming that the three commercial sizes Robusto (4 1/4 inches by 52 ring), Grand Especial (8 1/2 x 52) and Imperial Presidente (7 x 56) have been shipped to stores nationwide.
The blend and presentation are different, but still exquisite. The new cigars are made with five-year-aged Cameroon wrapper, a Dominican-grown binder and Nicaraguan and Peruvian filler leaves for a rich taste that offers depth and subtlety. Like all Gurkha blends, it is made in Danli, Honduras by Torano Cigars.
Like the holiday edition of the Black Dragon, the presentation is exceptional. Each size is offered in leatherette-covered boxes and the cigars themselves are packed in trays of ten, carefully nestled in a textured red fabric.
The cost is accessible, however, with retail prices of $10 to $13 each, a lot better than the $1,150 per cigar of the holiday edition. Such a deal!
Hansotia also noted that the Gurkha Vintage Shaggy, a wild-looking cigar with an uncut foot thats packed in raw tobacco inside each box, is also shipping again after being sold out during the summer. All four sizes (Toro, Churchill, XO and Torpedo) are offered in boxes of 25 or 100, the latter for those who have lots of friends!
