Gurkha 125th Anniversary Torpedo – 5 Pack

The Gurkha 125th Anniversary Torpedo cigar is a 6 1/2 x 54 gem hand-rolled with a beautiful oily Cuban-seed Brazilian Habano wrapper, that finishes a  complex blend of bold Dominican, Nicaraguan and Brazilian long fillers combining to deliver a savory core. Medium to full bodied with a smooth and balanced smoke highlighting rich tobacco flavors, sweet spices, coffee, vanilla and notes of roasted nuts.  Handmade at the renowned PDR Cigar Factory located in Tamboril, Dominican Republic.

In seeking a fitting tribute to commemorate 125 years of making cigars, Gurkha have succeeded with the 94 rated Gurkha 125th Anniversary cigar line.  Some would argue that this is Gurkhas best cigar, and that’s backed up by Cigar Aficionado who named it to their top 10 Best Cigars of 2013, and rated it a huge 94.  The brand had this big win with the XO size earning the #9 rank on Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars in the world list, notably just edging out such cigars as the Fuente Opus X and the Ashton VSG, with Cigar Aficionado noting, “The Gurkha 125th Anniversary cigar has a lovely flavor of dried orange peel, some leather and cedar notes, and is a balanced smoke with no shortage of elegance.”

An added bonus is the band on the Gurkha 125th Anniversary Torpedo cigar.  This beauty has one of the nicest cigar bands you’ll ever see.  It apparently won the 2012 Golden Label Printing Award.  We’re not up on the latest printing awards, but this sounds impressive!
