Kaizad Hansotias Gurkha brand has always stood for quality cigars offered in spectacular packaging and often at spectacular prices. Now, a new series of Gurkhas is debuting at a store near you in glorious tins and at nicely accessible prices.
There are three new lines being offered, all in gorgeous, colorful tins of 20:
Gurkha Monogram, a mild-to-medium blend with a light Connecticut wrapper and Dominican binder and filler. The taste is said to be similar to the Gurkha Elegance.
Gurkha Havana Legend, a strong and heavy blend that is not for the novice. It has a Nicaraguan-grown wrapper, Cameroon binder and powerful Peruvian filler, with a taste reminiscent to the Special Edition Beast or Titan blend.
Gurkha Nautilus, a medium-to-full blend that is characterized as a wonderful smooth cigar and a great everyday smoke. It has a Nicaraguan Havana 2000 wrapper, double binder from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic and Honduran and Nicaraguan filler leaves.
All three blends will be offered in the same four shapes: Churchill (7 inches by 50 ring), Robusto (5 x 50), Toro (6 x 52) and Torpedo (6 1/2 x 53). Best of all is the price, a suggested retail of $5.00 per cigar, regardless of shape, in all three styles (not including state and local taxes, of course).
This is perhaps the most accessible Gurkha ever offered and are the first Gurkhas to be offered by regional distributors Phillips & King (west) and Harold Levinson Associates (east). But like all Gurkhas, the fight will be over who get to keep the embossed tins in which the cigars are packed!
