Heritage Maduro Robusto Cigar (5 x 55)

The term Gurkha stems from the Anglo-Nepalese war, when British soldiers began referring to Nepali fighters as Gurkhas. The military prowess of these soldiers impressed the British so much that the Gurkhas became an official military regiment within the British Indian Army, their skill in battle and steely resolve having become legend. In the late 19th century, British soldiers began rolling their own cigars from local tobacco and named these cigars after the legendary regiment, cigars whose production continued in various ways for over a century. In 1989, Kaizad Hansotia founded Gurkha cigars in its modern iteration, expanding its reach and focusing on offering super-premium cigars that would come to be associated with an upper-echelon experience and the utmost quality.

The Heritage Maduro cigar is referred to as the "double maduro" since it uses maduro tobacco in both the wrapper and binder. Combining a Mexican San Andres wrapper with a Brazilian Arapiraca binder and fillers from Brazil and Nicaragua, this cigar delivers notes of cocoa and espresso. Its flavor is earthy with a medium to full-bodied strength.
