Gurkha

Gurkha is a historic cigar name revived by Kaizad Hansotia in 1989. The brand became known for luxury positioning and ornate presentation, but its current range extends across different price points and flavor profiles. The Gurkha name alone does not describe the blend of an individual cigar. Cigario catalog records include Seduction, Prize Fighter, Marquesa, Ghost, and Royal Challenge, each of which should be considered on its own terms.

The brand's revival

According to Gurkha's own history, Kaizad Hansotia revived an older name in 1989. That date marks the modern revival, not necessarily the first use of the historic name.

Different lines

The present portfolio is not a single universal blend. Individual lines vary in positioning, presentation, and tobacco; strength and origin should be checked at the product level.
