Is the Gurkha Evil Cigar “Pure Evil?”

According to its creator, Kaizad Hansotia, it is! You won’t know what possessed you when you delve into a Gurkha Evil. The Evil blend is Gurkha’s latest addition to the already-prestigious lineup of all the other Gurkha lines. It is also their first full-bodied cigar and it definitely takes no prisoners.

Available in a Robusto size (5 x 50), the Toro (6 x 50), Torpedo (6 1/2 x 53T) and the XO (6 x 60) the Gurkha Evil has earned itself between an 86-rating and a 90-rating from Cigar Aficionado and rightfully so, as it is quite a powerhouse of a cigar!  K. Hansotia & Co. skillfully blend the Gurkha Evil with aged Nicaraguan long fillers, Dominican binders and wrap it all up with a leathery, oily, thick Brazilian wrapper. When you light it up you will taste a myriad of flavors ranging from roasted nuts and the lovely toasty character as it wraps up with a pleasant floral finish. A medium-to-full-bodied smoke the Gurkha Evil ranges of flavors always remain balanced and smooth from your first puff to the last inhale. As you smoke your way through the second half of the cigar you might note that the flavors and strength become more intense and fuller highlighting notes of pepper, wood and earthiness.

If you’re a full-bodied cigar lover you will fall in love with the Gurkha Evil, because it will put your palate to the test. Think you can you handle it?

A Review of the Gurkha Grand Reserve Louis XIII Cigar – The Height of Elegance and Luxury!

When you light up a Gurkha Grand Reserve Louis XIII cigar you are truly in for a treat. The Gurkha Cigar Company has been making, what I would call, the worlds most distinctive cigars for over 120 years.  Every Gurkha Grand Reserve cigar is infused in the legendary Louis XIII Cognac by Remy Martin. Just to give you an idea, a bottle of this elusive cognac typically sells for $1,200 or more. This process does not use dipping, spraying or injection, it is a secretive and truly unique process that results in elegant and extraordinary flavors. The Gurkha Grand Reserve cigars have been rated as the finest cigars in the world by 3 magazines (Opulence Magazine, Departures Magazine, the Magazine by American Express that reviews all things ultra-luxurious, including the seal of approval from the Robb Report), and when you taste the Grand Reserve, you will know why. The flavors of the Gurkha Grand Reserve are silky smooth and luxuriously creamy.

Each Gurkha Grand Reserve cigar is elegantly presented in a glass crystal tube which is hand-dipped in copper-colored wax for a one-of-a-kind presentation. (Please note that these cigars are shipped in bundles of 15, not in boxes, and the stands are not included.) The Gurkha “Grand Reserve” is the flagship brand of The Gurkha Cigar Company. It is handmade from the finest tobaccos: using premium, Cuban Piloto-seed Dominican fillers and binders and 5-year aged U.S. Connecticut shade wrappers (which are fermented an additional 7 months, which is longer than most Cuban cigars) which give the mild-to-medium-bodied Gurkha Grand Reserve Churchill a creamy, rich flavor with just a hint of spice and promises you a pleasantly light finish that you wish would linger on and on.

Some of the Gurkha lines are incredibly rare and limited. Just so you have an idea, they only release 10 boxes of 20 cigars each year of the His Majesty’s Reserve, which sell between $9,000 to $10,000, IF you are lucky enough to get your hands on a box of them! As I have mentioned to several of my customers in Colorado, if I had to only smoke one cigar for the rest of my life, the Gurkha Grand Reserve would be that cigar.
