Gurkha Cellar Reserve 21 Years

The Cellar Reserve cigars by Gurkha are the bestsellers in the premium manufacturer's portfolio. Gurkha is known, among other things, for its innovative and distinctive cigar boxes. One standout is the Gurkha Cellar Reserve 15 Years, which is highly regarded by many aficionados. The cigar presented here is a limited edition featuring a shade-grown Connecticut wrapper from the USA. The binder and filler are entirely of Dominican origin. First introduced at IPCPR 2016 in Las Vegas in three different vitolas, initially only one size, called Hedonism, made it across the Atlantic. Today, all three formats are also available in Germany.

Gurkha Cellar Reserve 21 Years: a Highlight Among Premium Cigars

This series is produced at Tabacalera Las Lavas in the Dominican Republic. Like all Gurkha cigars, they were imported until 2025 by the importer Kleinlagel from Bruchsal. Since then, the relatively new distributor GRE has taken over the brand. Gurkha is a cigar brand that divides cigar enthusiasts around the world. On the one hand, some critics argue that too much emphasis is placed on the packaging. On the other hand, the fact that Gurkha works with different cigar factories to produce its cigars is also an advantage, as it allows for a wide variety of blending styles within a single brand. As always, taste is subjective. Judging by their enduring popularity, however, Gurkha cigars have certainly found their audience, as they have long been among our bestsellers in the premium price segment.
