A special cigar.
Gurkha is a dynamite, top-of-the-line Dominican. Gurkha cigars are hand-rolled from the finest tobaccos grown in the Cibao Valley of the Dominican Republic. The Louis XIII line is one of the finest that Gurkha makes.
The Grand Reserve (copper) features a premium Connecticut shade wrapper, and each cigar is infused with fine Louis XIII Cognac, resulting in a unique, subtle, pleasant finish. Not dipped, sprayed or injected, this secretive process is utterly unique, resulting in an extraordinarily mellow, subtle and refined taste that has not been duplicated by any other cigar maker. Each cigar is gorgeously presented under glass in crystal tubos, and each glass tube is characteristically hand-dipped in wax for a one-of-a-kind presentation.
Very smooth smoke. This cigar draws well and smooth. I felt like it was a very mild cigar, but I have been trying some very full cigars lately, so I may have some perspective issues there. I wouldn't think twice about buying more of these. Everyone comments on the presentation as well; it's a good conversation starter.
Ultimate Gurkha fan; these are great treats for yourself. Just get em way less here; if you're lucky enough to find a close local retailer they will be double, so just pickup a 3 pack. I don't even like cognac and these are phenomenal.
I bought these for my Marine in celebration of him completing his Masters Degree while deployed overseas. He absolutely loved them! I did my research beforehand to make sure I got him one of the best cigars to celebrate this momentous occasion. This cigar did not disappoint! He said it was an excellent smoke, smooth, with an easy draw and impeccable flavors. He also said the cognac flavor was prominent, but not overpowering, and the cigar held together well until the very end. I personally loved the presentation of the cigars in the glass tubes with the wax seal. It just made the gift even more unique and special! I have added these as a 'regular' item on my ordering list to send as a Care Package Surprise for My Guy!!
A buddy of mine had been telling me for years, the best smoke of his life was a Gurkha in a glass tube, infused with cognac. I had to have heard the story five times. I ran across the deal on CI, and I bought him a couple, and he was blown away, He had paid $45 retail for his first, never found another, but would have paid that price again. I did not have the heart to tell him I paid 11 dollars a piece. I have since turned him on to CI.
I have smoked plenty of fine cigars in my lifetime. Gurkha is definitely one of my favorite brands. With that being said, the Grand Reserve is simply amazing. This is honestly the best cigar I have ever smoked (as of 01/20/2015). The cognac "infusion" gives this cigar a subtly sweet taste, while not having the qualities of a flavored cigar. Now I must try the Private Reserve and the Royal Reserve.
These are by far my favorite cigars and what got me into the cigar scene.
Just finished the Grand Reserve torpedo. Im quite confused as to what the tube does.... Very dissapointed in how this cigar was packaged. In spite of all the and packaging problems it smoked good and was tasty. Light smoke at first, but then thick and creamy for the second half.... All in all I'd say 3 out of 5 stars.
These are the first Gurkha's I have had and let me say, they are mighty fine! As soon as you open the tubo, the smell of cognac erupts out. Gets a little full bodied near the end but is not a big problem.
One of the most beautiful cigars I've ever smoked. It is infused with fine Cognac that you can actually taste. This cigar is one of my favorites from the Gurkha cigars. The presentation is always beautiful. A very smooth and great tasting cigar.
Best cigar I have ever smoked. Start to finish nice smooth high quality PREMIUM cigar!
When I went looking for a wonderful cigar to celebrate my birthday this past February with, the local cigar shop suggested The Gurhka Grand Reserve infused with the Louis XIII Cognac..I was not disappointed with this cigar and have smoked one other since then..This cigar is definitely a go for special occasion or holidays when you are smoking with a close friend or two with a glass of your favorite drink..
Best cigar I've smoked. Perfect draw, great flavor. Awesome.
the most amazing cigar you will ever smoke, smooth all the way to the popping. The cap is like like opening heaven, you will keep the tube around just so you can remember the cigar and its wonderful smell, I want one right now... go army !!!
Honestly, I'm not a big flavored fan , BUT these are amazing. They are so smooth, creamy, cool, and light on flavor but big on taste. For the price you pay on here is decent, but buying them at a cigar boutique store for $20 a pop, rediculous. I would recommend, at least give one a shot and keep one on stock for a special occasion.
I started to buy this cigar when I was in Iraq when I started the hobby and since then I've got fascinated with it. Although its expensive I won't trade it for nothing.
I was given this cigar as a nice gesture from someone. Already a fan of the Gurkha line, I eagerly anticipated enjoying this one! I decided to bide my time an wait to enjoy it as my Christmas cigar. I waited 3 whole weeks to pop the top and let me tell you, it was well worth the wait. I was immediately hit by the heavenly aroma of the cognac and that was only the beginning. From the first until the final draw of this bad boy, this cigar was amazing. It had an amazing smooth draw to it that stayed that way until the end. I will without a doubt be purchasing more!! They are worth every penny. A fellow cigar smoker and I have been keeping a book rating our weekly cigars on a 1-5 star. No doubt it gets a 5 star in my book.
I waited for my meager three pack of these cigars like a child waiting for Christmas. Upon arrival they were unpacked and placed on the top shelf of my humidor. The following morning I decided to see what the big deal was about this cigar. Upon cracking the seal of the Tubo I was greater with the sweet aroma of Louis XIII. I was a bit dissapointed however, when I could not get my cigar from it's crystal tubo due to the band being stuck to the glass. Perhaps this cigar was mocking me??! With my USMC mentality I improvised, adapted, and overcame. Removing my cigar FINALLY! Now cut and toasted the first draw on this stick was unbelievable. I found a smoothe smoke with an unbelievable aroma and sweet medium smoke. All the way through this was an experience not short of amazing. Outstanding job! I quickly informed my fellow cigar nut that I had found a cigar that could very well have been touched and rolled by the hand of GOD. I will indeed be ordering more of this ultra- fine cigar!
I love the smooth taste of the Gurkha Grand-Reserve with the infused Louie XIII. The first draw from this magnificant stogie, was heavenly, and the even burn remained throughout my smoke. The flavor never dissipated. I rate this cigar a 100! :-) The Gurkha Grand-Reserve just moved to number 1 of my favorite smokes! Great Job!!!!
