Gurkha Treinta

Brandishing the name translating from Spanish to mean thirty in English, Gurkha Treinta was announced by Gurkha Cigars in 2019 marking the momentous milestone of Gurkha’s 30th Anniversary handcrafting premium cigars. Baffled as Gurkha Cigars previously celebrated its 125th anniversary with a cigar in 2012? Well, the illustrious brand can be traced all the way back to 1887 and according to the company, the original Gurkha Cigars originating in India utilized Indian tobacco for its cigars. A rebirth of sorts, it wouldn’t be until 1989 when Kaizad Hansotia (now former chairman) purchased and breathed new life into the brand, hence the 30-year celebration. Most recently, Hansotia has been succeeded by a new company President and COO, Jim Colucci whose connections and experience in the industry were quickly put to work. So, by 2019 two new projects produced out of Tabacos de Valle Jalapa S.A. (TABSA) would make their debut into the market including the Gurkha Treinta. Handmade in Nicaragua, the special edition is magical and memorable. Executed with precision, the storied brand taps into some of the finest reserves of tobaccos and uses techniques such as entubado bunching, triple caps and more which is signature to authentic and traditional Cuban cigar making. The result? A mouthwatering and irresistible cigar of the utmost quality and construction well-suited of the honor Gurkha cigars deserves. Available in 20 count boxes, this exquisite new series comes in a trio of sizes. A Robusto, measuring in at 5 x 52, a Toro 6 inches in length and 54 ring gauge and a Magnum with measurements 6 by 60. Keeping up with their lavish nature, each stick is regal in presentation showcasing a brilliant gold hue atop a pristine white band as they are lined up neatly and orderly in its container. A stark contrast but equally extravagant, the noir box displays scrolling of golden artwork drawing the eye around the box in its entirety. The crowning glory itself is a smooth dark chocolate in visuals with an oily and buttery soft touch. The aromas of sweet cocoa and hay alone are so inviting you take a pre-light draw and experience a mild spiciness, cedar and unsweetened iced tea. Centered with Nicaraguan tobaccos pulled from the prestigious reservoir of Aganorsa Leaf, a unique mixture of Nicaraguan fillers that include Corojo 99 and Criollo 98 from the Estelí and Jalapa regions lies lush beneath a Corojo 99 binder from Nicaragua. The finishing touch is an Ecuadorian Habano Rosado wrapper bridging the savoir-faire together impeccably. Transporting you to a multidimensional flavor realm, the cigar is complex landing in the medium-bodied range in terms of strength. Awarding a lengthy smoking session of nearly an hour and more depending on its format, palates will experience deep layers of illuminating tones. Participants will journey through emanating notes of creamy cocoa, sweet molasses, freshly cut cedar and graham cracker, followed by a zesty citrus and fruit sweetness. Rounding out the blend are hints of toasted nuts and a touch of white pepper. A sort of celebratory gift for the Gurkha brand themselves, the boutique minded offering is also a gift for cigar enthusiasts that you won’t want to miss out on as it makes an elegant impression in appearances and tastes.
