GURKHA 

Steeped in legend and history, the Gurkha Cigar created more than a century ago, was reborn in 1989. The company has continuously rolled out meticulously handcrafted cigars, epitomizing all that is luxury.

Today, Gurkha makes a cigar for all price points and all palates, but when it began, Gurkha cigars were unlike other cigars in the market. They also came in highly ornate packaging and with a steep price tag. Hansotia felt that there was a market for more luxurious and exclusive cigars for those with tastes for only the finer and more elusive products. In focusing on this segment, Hansotia created the ultra premium cigar category.

CELLAR RESERVE 12 YEAR OLD 

The Cellar Reserve Platinum is the first Nicaraguan blend from the Cellar Reserve family of cigars. This full flavour, medium body cigar has a lot of sweetness and nuttiness right off the start. The Ecuadorian wrapper pairs perfectly with the Nicaraguan binder and fillers for an exquisite and complex smoke.

Tasting Notes

This cigar starts off sweet and keeps the sweetness throughout the smoke.This will be perfectly balanced out mid-way throguh the smoke with notes of earth, cedar and leather, with an exciting spicy kick to finish off this wonderful smoke.

This is a good cigar! Had an issue with the wrapper coming away as I was smoking which meant I probably couldn’t return it as last time with a different stick I had to return for a replacement so didn’t bother trying. Cold draw: prunes, chilli on the lips, lovely. 1/3 lots of white pepper on retrohale moving to strong espresso with Demerara sugar, sweet coffee. 2/3 lovely fresh baked bread with a hint of cinnamon. Little bit of spice on the tongue. 3/3 fell apart and unable to smoke Lots of body, great smoke production. Didn’t find it too strong. Great draw and devastated it fell apart as it warmed up. Would get again and giving it 4 stars as I’ll ignore the damage in light of a fair review.

Such a pretty cigar — but that was about it, for me. First two thirds were a big disappointment: burnt, harsh flavours. Final third picked up a little bit, comprising some nice earthy and peppermint notes. Can only assume I had a bit of an off stick.

I’ve heard good and bad things about this cigar but as usual I like to make my own mind up. I must say what a brilliant smoke . I had a gorgeous roast dinner made by the best chef I know ( my mum ) and afterwards smoked this cigar with a ten year old aged port . It was great , touched the burn up a couple of times but it tasted and smoked lovely would definitely recommend

Perfect for a special occasion. Delicious, rich flavours throughout. Sweet, oak fruitiness you start which develops gradually into a crescendo of leather and...burnt rubber? But a nice burnt rubber. Build wasn’t flawless but I can’t fault that too much.
