In 1887, at the height of the British rule, colonial
soldiers began to make their own cigars from the local tobacco.  The fondness of the British for these
legendary Nepalese fighters inspired them to name their cigars “Gurkhas.”

Steeped in legend and history, the Gurkha cigars, created
more than a century ago has been reborn and today is one of the most famous
brands of luxery cigars in the world.
Having extraordinary quality and premium blends of tobacco, Gurkha is known
for limited release and rare tobacco products with outstanding and
artistically-oriented packaging.
