The Gurkha Legend cigar makes its triumphant return in vintage form—now better than ever. “Legend” is a bold claim, one that few brands can truly uphold. Yet, Gurkha not only embraces this title but fully embodies it.
Originally earning a stellar 90-rating, the Gurkha ‘8-Year Aged’ Legend was pulled from the market in 2008 due to a scarcity of its rare, premium tobaccos—much to the dismay of enthusiasts. Now, Gurkha has revived this esteemed cigar with a refined twist, introducing the Gurkha Legend Vintage 2001. This new iteration features an exquisite Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper cultivated in 2001, marking the return of a cigar long revered by aficionados.
The Gurkha Legend Vintage 2001 boasts a dark, triple-fermented Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, enveloping a bold blend of extensively aged Cuban-seed long-fillers from the renowned Cibao Valley in the Dominican Republic. After an extended post-roll aging process, each cigar delivers an exceptionally rich and satisfying experience. A velvety-smooth profile coats the palate with a luxurious creaminess, balanced by deep notes of dark chocolate, leather, and black espresso bean. The finish lingers with peppery-sweet undertones, making every puff memorable.
Medium to full-bodied and profoundly complex, the Gurkha Legend Vintage 2001 stands as a true masterpiece of cigar craftsmanship.
