Gurkha Cellar Reserve


Kaizad Hansotia has created a true gem this time - The Gurkha Cellar Reserve cigars are a truly wonderful cigar full of taste and body. The Gurkha Cellar Reserve cigars can easily be described as one of the most complex Gurkha cigars ever. The 15 on the wrapper is describing the aged 15 year old vintage tobacco used in the filler. The Gurkha Cellar Reserve Cigars are perfectly packaged in a natural wood grain wooden box complimenting the cigar.
The Gurkha Cellar Reserve cigars are a fantastic smoke and no expense was spared. The cigar starts off medium-bodied but the closer you get to the band strength escalates into a complex, full bodied experience. This cigar has quickly become one of my favorites!

Gurkha Seduction

The Gurkha Seduction Cigars were first released at the 2011 IPCPR trade show as a brick and mortar only cigar. 2011 marked three new releases for Gukha, the Cellar Reserve, the Royal Challenge and the final release the Seduction, All of which we stock. This medium bodied smoke is made using a Habano seed Ecuadorian wrapper which lends this cigar a nice spice and hint of sweetness. The filler is comprised of 100% Columbian Corojo tobacco which gives this cigar its unique flavor profile and rich body, the filler is held together with an aged Dominican Olor binder. The result is an flavorful cigars that is jammed packed with flavor, complex and well balanced. The cigars are packed in sleek modern boxes of 20 cigars, available in 4 different sizes: 5 x 55 Robusto, 6 x 55 Toro, 7 x 55 Churchill and a 6 x 60 XO Gordo.

Arturo Fuente Magnum R

The Arturo Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum R line is a new blend from the masters of the Dominican. Unlike previous Rosado releases, this line is made with wrapper leaves lower down on the plant making this a milder Rosado cigar. The Arturo Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum R is made with an Ecuadorian Sungrown Sumatra wrapper and the rest of the construction is Dominican. A mild to medium bodied line, these cigars will smoke smooth, sweet, and have a very long finish.

EP Carrillo maduro

Ernesto Perez-Carrillo has been slowly increasing the breadth of his product line, but there was one thing was missing—a maduro. until just this past summer he unveiled his version of a maduro cigar!
"A lot of people were asking for a maduro," Carrillo told Cigar Aficionado . "I had looked at Mexican maduro, Brazilian—but this one shined."

This one is Connecticut broadleaf, a hearty, dark and rugged leaf that Perez-Carrillo first used in the 1970s in Miami, when he was making La Gloria Cubanas. Perez-Carrillo is using broadleaf grown in the Connecticut River Valley in 2008/09, which he claimed was superb, with superior yield and great flavor.

He's used the leaf to create the E.P. Carrillo Maduro, an eight-size line that's identical in dimension and suggested retail price to the lineup of the E.P. Carrillo "core" line. The cigars come in Encantos (4 7/8 by 50, $6.45); Regalias Real (5 5/8 by 46); Club 52 (5 7/8 by 52); Churchill Especial (7 1/8 by 49); Predilectos (a torpedo measuring 6 1/8 by 52); Golosos (6 1/4 by 60) and Monumentos (7 3/8 by 56). They retail for $5.25 to $9.30 per cigar and are made at Perez-Carrillo's factory in Santiago, Dominican Republic.
