When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, but when life gives you tobacco, you only make Gurkha cigars. It was said that during the British rule in India, the colonial soldiers started making their very own cigars from the local tobacco. They named the tobacco Gurkha because of their fondness of the Legendary Nepalese fighters.
When the rule of Raja started to weaken, the British colonies in India continued producing and smoking the Gurkha but it suddenly lapsed into nothingness. Today, the Gurkha was revived and the heritage of this century old tobacco can now be experienced by cigar aficionados. People can now understand the uniqueness and the legendary taste of this cigar known as Gurkha.
