Gurkha Private Reserve

Description

There’s a door marked “Private.”

So go ahead....open it.

It’s impossible to know precisely what’s behind this portal of secrets, but I’ll give you a few clues. First, I can tell you that this premium handmade treasure hails from Gurkha, purveyor of some of the finest cigars on Earth. Next, I can tell you the blend is exclusive, and you’re not likely to encounter it ever again. Think of it like Gurkha Royal Reserve, a blend so rare and popular that I simply can’t keep it on the shelves.

The wrapper is maduro – dark, oily, exotic, enticing. And while only Gurkha knows the secret filler blend, I can tell you that each cigar has been double infused with cognac, imparting a subtle and refined flavor profile. Presentation is everything, and each individual handmade has been sealed in tubos topped with melted gold wax. This is a collector’s item, for sure.

At these prices, they are not my 'everyday' cigar. However, to celebrate an event success (or even commiserate on a less than great outcome), this is the cigar!

These cigars are fine. However, the glass tubes in which they are packed did not keep them from drying out somewhat. Even upon arrival the wrappers on several of them loosened as I smoked them. The flavor is very good, but the dryness does affect the quality of the smoke. Unfortunately, when my shipment arrived two of the glass tubes were broken despite being in bubble wrap and in a box with shipping "popcorn" in the inner box and an outer box with airbags for padding. There was no damage to the other or inner boxes to indicate a crushing issue. The cigars in these tubes were cut by the glass in the middle. Thus, my Churchill cigars were stubby. I contacted customer service to alert them of the problem. The reply I received indicated that the information would be passed on, but I was disappointed that they did not offer to replace them. Whereas there was no crush damage to the boxes, I suspect the damage occurred in the warehouse before they were boxed. The four stars is given because of the dryness of the cigars and the lack of customer service on replacing the ruined cigars.

This Gurkha Private Reserve was above average, not as good as the Grand Reserve with Louis XIII infusion and certainly pales in comparison to my all time favorite GURKHA PLATINUM. Please get KH to bring it back.

An amazing smoke. The first smoke I had out of a glass tube. For the price on this site it is worth it.

The only thing that I can really say is that in my opinion the Gurkha Private Reserve Churchill-Maduro is simply one of the best cigars that I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying with an amazing taste, and great draw.

Few cigars are built and produce like the GPR. Every draw is undeniably special. One of the best "deals" I have found on a premium cigar in a long while. Wish it would warm up so I could smoke more of these. Love it!

They were very good but not as good as the Brown Waxed tubs. Very important to pack them so the glass will not break. Excellent customer service!!!!

Very comparable to the Maker's Mark Cigars, but I think these have a slight edge over those. I have zero complaints about these cigars. 5 star! Good draw, flavor, and good smoke that won't leave you spitting everywhere. Smoke so tasty you want to grab it out of the air, put it back in your mouth, and chew on it some more.

Always CI has been fast and efficient with the orders placed for my business. The Gurka's were ordered for the up coming year. January will be the first that people are aware that they are available from the shop . Many have requested the cigar. Only happy to have them on hand for their pleasure.

This is the best cigar that I've had so far and I've had some good ones. It was smooth to the end, I didn't want to put it out. I would definitely buy more in the future and you can't beat the deal.

After having these for a while I really enjoy the flavor of chewing on the stick prior to smoking. After lighting up, I have enjoyed this numerous times smoking it through until I couldn't hold it any more.

Bought the 30 pack to share with my nephew who just finished basic training. Smoked them with all they guys (and ladies) and everyone loved them. Gurkha hit a home run with these smokes.

Great cigar that you must try if you have not had a chance to try it yet. Rich in flavor as a good cigar should be. I say give it a try, you know you can't go wrong with a Gurkha.

Would not rate it a great cigar. A good cigar, but for the price, it should be a VERY Great cigar. The plastic (silly) dipped end has to go. I'm not interested in wrestling with the stuff to open it.
