A nod to 20 years of success

A 2010 release, the Gurkha Archive was a hats off and congratulations for 20 years of delectable handmades. Flourishing for 20 years in the cigar business is no easy feat. Many great brands have risen to fame, only to witness their own demise shortly thereafter. Well, Gurkha has thrived for over two decades now, and is still pumping out top shelf blends to this day. 

The Archive took two full years and countless blending and re-blending to finally develop. This gorgeous, milky-brown cigar comes draped in a silky smooth 6-year aged Connecticut Maduro wrapper. Bursting from its core are Nicaraguan and Dominican long-fillers accompanied by a genuine Cameroon binder. Expect an eventful, medium to full-bodied bouquet intertwined by notes of spice, coffee, sweet tobacco, and nuts finished by a toasty crescendo. Box-pressed and primed for the ultimate experience, the Archive exemplifies Gurkha’s rich cigar-making history.

Good news, Gurkha Archive has received a well-deserved 90-point rating, noting: “creamy, woody flavors balanced by cocoa powder and spice.”

I recently bought a sampler that included one of these Gurkha Archive cigars. I read the reviews as I smoked it and really enjoyed it. CI was the only place I could find this cigar. It's a really nice stick. I will buy more.

Flavor-nothing to go out of your way for, doesn’t stay burning very long, draw good, plenty of smoke when lit. Cap wrapper loose on cutting, have to use some gum, all and all a good cigar to knock around the house doing chores with. Not for public use!

The flavor varies from a medium to a medium full-bodied cigar based on construction of the stick. But that's the problem, construction quality varies from stick to stick. I keep my humidor at 70 and 70 and kept them in there for a couple of weeks before I smoked my first one. I've had nasty 1 in long runs and I've had perfect smooth slow burners. As usual the box is beautiful the cigars are good and some of them are amazing.

The burn and consistency from cigar to cigar is unmatched in my opinion. This is my second order, I've had some sit in my humidor for 2 years (due to deployment) and they light and burn great. I'd talk about the way they smell and their flavor, but anything from Gurkha is going to be top notch.

I was happy with this cigar except the wrapper was to thin and would crack and split even with a sharp cutter and smoking indoors.

As a lover of Gurkha Cigars, naturally, when I found these (at a decent price) I got a few. After lighting up the first one, I was hooked! Gurkha has done it again! Great construction, smooth and easy draw for a mouthful of smoke that is everything as advertised! Will be keeping these in stock at home!

Flavor is mellow with hints of spices that get bolder and more pronounced the longer you enjoy the cigar. However a gentle breeze can offset the burning of the cigar very unevenly. I love these beauties and would love them more if it was not for the uneven burning.

I liked the flavor and taste, burned well too. My only drawback (and not a major one for me) was the draw was very light. Will purchase again.

Got the Archive in a Gurkha sampler bundle. Overall not a bad stick. Did find it a bit hard draw. The flavor was medium and the burn was even.

love these stoges, they are super smooth and have a great taste. Would have gave it a 5 star but I had a stoge that was almost drilled into in 2 spots and wouldn't smoke well unless I covered those spots with my fingers.

Excellent, well constructed tasty cigar. Lasts along time and didn’t need relighting after being set down for several minutes. Lots of bilowy, white smoke. The box is beautiful and has magnets embedded in the lid and box to keep it securely closed. The price on these was insanely cheap for such a great cigar.

I recently tried the Gurka Archive and found the construction to be subpar. Apparently skimping on the amount of tobacco used, the cigar did not hold its shape during the second half of the smoke. I would not buy this cigar again.
