The company continually releases meticulously handcrafted cigars that embody all that is luxury. In 1989, Kaizad Hansotia decided to revive a cigar brand rich in tradition and steeped in legend and history. Gurkha cigars were created over a century ago and were known for their meticulously handcrafted cigars, but when Hansotia revived the brand, there was no way of knowing that the cigar industry was about to experience a boom and he would have the perfect product.
Realizing that there are no super premium cigars, it creates the association with elegance that cigars have become known for. In the revival of Gurkha, Hansotia creates cigars that are not a necessity, but rather a luxury and a pleasure.
Today, Gurkha produces cigars for all price ranges and all tastes, but when it starts Gurkha cigars are unlike any other cigars on the market. They have very ornate packaging. Hansotia believes there is a market for more luxurious and exclusive cigars for those who only have a taste for the finer and more elusive products.
Focusing on this segment, Hansotia created the ultra-premium cigar category.
"Gurkha currently has over 105 brands and is considered a boutique cigar manufacturer"
Gurkha has several brands that cater to every premium cigar smoker, including the elite. For many, Gurkha cigars are seen as a status symbol and are synonymous with opulence and exclusivity.
However, a beautifully handcrafted and aromatic cigar can appeal to anyone and embodies the pleasure and enjoyment of all the good things found in life. For centuries, cigars have been associated with pleasure and a festive lifestyle: smoking a cigar is nothing short of an unforgettable experience.
