The Gurkha Royal Challenge Cigars were first released at the 2011 IPCPR trade show as a brick and mortar only cigar. This medium bodied cigar boosts a golden silky Ecuadorian Connecticut shade grown wrapper. The blend is comprised of both Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers bounded together with an Honduran Habano wrapper. The result is an ultra smooth cigar with a nice complex flavor profile. Gurkha’s owner Kaizad Hansotia is known as the king of packaging, and he’s done it again with the Gurkha Royal Challenge brand, the cigars are packaged in 20 count leather style boxes with an elegant buckle clasp in 5 different sizes: 5 x 50 Robusto, 6 x 50 Toro, 6 ½ x 53 Torpedo, 7 x 52 Churchill and 6 x 60 XO Gordo. Those out there looking for a smooth medium bodied smoke that can be enjoyed anytime of the day then the Gurkha Royal Challenge cigar is a must try.
