Gurkha Grand Reserve

Description

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.

A very light mild cigar easy to draw with an extraordinarily smooth start to the finish. The cigar could be smoked for an hour and a half, never getting boring with leaving a pleasant taste in the mouth. Once you finish this cigar normally you wouldn't want another one till the next day(my perfance)this one you feel like you could smoke a second one for an hour and a 1/2 again.

Superior craftsmanship. Stick burns consistent. Taste and quality improves with each draw. Very happy with every aspect of this cigar. Refined presentation only makes more attractive (glass tube custom sealed with gold wax). Solid value that makes a nice compliment to my humidor as well as a great gift.

I wrote a review on the Gurkha Grand Reserve Torpedo Maduro (6.2"x52) and these which are an inch longer had some of the same issues that I had with the 6.2"x52. They did not hold their ash well and I had to keep puffing on a regular basis to keep the burn going. Also toward the end of the smoke, the burn would get very hot. I don't know if the batch I received did not allow a decent time for the cognac to dry or not. But, these are a smooth smoke to enjoy, and you need time to smoke one. I would have to put these cigars in my top 5 smokes.

I think I wrote an earlier review before I got to see how they smoke for a first time purchase. As an add-on to my previous review I had some time to go through them and I notice that they do not stay lit if you don't keep puffing on them. Additionally, I notice that some of them where wrapped too tight and some too loose. Maybe I got a back batch. Towards the end of the smoke, it gets very hot on the draw and they don't hold their ash too well. However, they are a smooth cigar with the cognac flavoring, and you need time to enjoy them because the smoke time is long.

The Grand Reserve is my favorite cigar. I love the cognac flavoring. It's a two-hour cigar so block in time for a truly enjoyable smoke.

My first experience with the Gurkha Grand Reserve was a great smoke just puffing away working crossword puzzles. As a result of its flavor I am hooked, so I have ordered again even though they are a bit pricey. These are a nice mix with some of my other brands of smokes. Gurkha puts out some of the greatest smokes.

Not sure if this batch was contained less cognac than the batches I've had in the past, but my experience was not alone in the lack thereof cognac. For the price point of these, if this becomes a common thing, I'll goto another brand that provides same taste at a much lower cost & gives a larger quantity.

Customer Testimonials
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.
JW of Colorado Springs, CO
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.
ED of Bloomington, MN
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!!
RB of GRAND PRAIRIE, TX
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.
SD of Laguna Niguel, CA
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.
RG of Mitchell, IN
These are by far my favorite cigars and what got me into the cigar scene.
EB of North Ridgeville, OH
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.
AS of Centerville, PA
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.
MS of Palm Harbor, FL
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.
EW of Virginia Beach, VA
Best cigar I have ever smoked. Start to finish nice smooth high quality PREMIUM cigar!
SB of Bluford, IL
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..
CJ of Irving, TX
Best cigar I've smoked. Perfect draw, great flavor. Awesome.
CS of KAILUA, HI
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 !!!
CH of greensboro, NC
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.
RB of ANAHEIM, CA
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.
