Gurkha G5 Avenger and Status Cigars


Gurkha is famous for their strong cigars but their latest, the G5 avenger looks particularly powerful. The new cigar is a full-bodied Nicaraguan puro. it is available as a 6 x 50 Toro and 6 x 52 Torpedo which is sold in a rather villainous-looking box of 20 for $186 and $190 respectively. The company has also introduced the Gurhkha Status, a medium-bodied cigar that is a Dominican blend with a Connecticut shade wrapper. These cigars are available in a 7" x 50 Churchill and a 6.5" x 52 Torpedo and come in cool frosted glass tubes. They sell for $380 and $390.

Gurkha Black Dragon Cigars

The Black Dragon from Gurkha is even more expensive than the Cohiba Behike. The Black Dragon cigars hand-crafted by the Gurkha factory in Honduras,with African Cameroon, Dominican, and Connecticut tobaccos. They are extra-aged for 12-15 years. THe 7-1/2" x 52 dark maduro cigars have a strong and spicy flavor. They come in a box made in India from aged carved camel bone and solid brass. The box of Black Dragon Especial cigars sells for $115,000 for 100 cigars and there are only five boxes available.

Gurhka Beauty Cigars

The latest cigar in the Gurhka Legend series is the Beauty, a medium-bodied cigar which is a mate to last year's full-bodied Gurkha Beast. The Beauty boasts a golden Ecuadorean-grown Connecticut Shade wrapper and has a Dominican binder and a Nicaraguan filler. The 6-1/2 x 58 cigar has a wrapper that is aged a full seven years and the binder and filler are five years old. The Beauty comes in a box of 25 with engraved brass plaques inside and out and each cigar is encased in a frosted glass tube with an orange cap. The cigars are double-banded and sheathed in cedar from the Beauty band to the foot. A box sells for a hefty. $770 and there will only be 500 boxes created each year.

Gurkha Genghis Khan Cigars

As we have seen before Kaizad Hansotia's Beach Cigar Group makes flavorful, high quality cigars. The latest in the Gurkha group is the Gurkha Genghis Khan. One would expect a cigar named after the fearsome Mongol chief to be super strong but it is actually a medium-bodied cigar. The Genghis Khan is a 7 1/2" by 52 Churchill size with a Costa Rican maduro wrapper, Dominican binder and Dominican and Honduran filler. The cigars are sold in a dome chest that holds 30 cigars and has a lift-out tray that reveals a lower compartment for additional cigar or accessory storage. The chest sells for $249.95.
