About This Cigar
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.
Recognizing America's expansive history and the sacrifices of its soldiers, this collaboration between Gurkha and Volition America honors the defenders of the red, white, and blue. Each cigar within the collection is crafted in Nicaragua and is offered in a 6" x 54 Toro, allowing ample time to enjoy the variety of flavors. Presented in a white band, this particular cigar displays a Habano wrapper, providing the smoker with a balanced, medium-bodied profile.
