Gurkha Cigars

Gurkha Cigars is a luxury cigar brand originally inspired by the legendary Nepalese warriors and revived in 1989 when Indian-American entrepreneur Kaizad Hansotia purchased the dormant brand for just $143 while on vacation in Goa, India—transforming it into what became known as the “Rolls Royce of cigars.” Now led by CEO Jim Colucci and producing over 12 million cigars per year sold in more than 58 countries, Gurkha is renowned for its ultra-premium tobaccos, ornate packaging, and an extensive portfolio spanning lines like the Cellar Reserve (12, 15, and 18 Year), Royal Challenge, Ghost, Heritage, Grand Reserve, Warlord, and the legendary His Majesty’s Reserve—handcrafted in Nicaragua, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic with wrappers ranging from Connecticut Shade to Broadleaf Maduro—delivering mild to full-bodied profiles of caramel, cedar, cocoa, leather, espresso, and spice across every price point imaginable.
