Experience Gurkha: The World’s Most Luxurious Cigars

At Boisdale’s online shop, we are proud to present Gurkha, a brand that embodies opulence, craftsmanship, and history. Known as the “Rolls-Royce of Cigars,” Gurkha is celebrated for its unparalleled blends, striking presentation, and commitment to luxury — offering an experience that is as refined as it is unforgettable.

A Heritage of Distinction

The origins of Gurkha trace back over a century, when British colonial soldiers first rolled cigars in honour of the legendary Nepalese Gurkha warriors. Revived in 1989 by Kaizad Hansotia, the modern Gurkha brand was built upon a vision of exclusivity and excellence, producing some of the most sought-after and collectible cigars in the world.

From limited-edition releases crafted with rare tobaccos to elegantly packaged collections, Gurkha cigars have become synonymous with sophistication and prestige — a true symbol of indulgence for discerning aficionados.

Tobacco and Craftsmanship

Each Gurkha cigar is handmade by master artisans in the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, using meticulously aged tobaccos sourced from the world’s finest growing regions. The brand’s commitment to detail extends from its precise blending to its ornate presentation, featuring beautifully embossed boxes and intricate band designs.

From the celebrated Cellar Reserve and Heritage lines to the bold Ghost and the ultra-premium His Majesty’s Reserve, every Gurkha cigar reflects a balance of flavour, artistry, and exclusivity.

Typical Tasting Notes

Gurkha cigars are known for their refined strength, rich complexity, and luxurious texture. Expect:

  • Aromas of oak, cocoa, and leather with nuances of spice, earth, and toasted nuts.

  • On the palate, layers of espresso, molasses, and sweet cedar unfold into a smooth, velvety finish accented by hints of dark chocolate and spice.

Each blend offers a distinctive profile — from medium-bodied and creamy to rich and full — crafted to satisfy even the most refined palates.

Perfect Pairings

The sophisticated character of Gurkha cigars pairs beautifully with a range of fine accompaniments:

  • Aged Cognac, dark rum, or single malt Scotch
  • Full-bodied red wines such as Bordeaux or Syrah
  • Espresso, truffles, or dark chocolate desserts

Whether enjoyed to mark a special occasion or as a luxurious moment of solitude, Gurkha cigars deliver an experience of unmatched refinement and grandeur.
