Gurkha 125th Anniversary XO
Cigar Aficionado · Jan 1, 2014
Gurkha cigars have long been known for eye-popping packaging, and considerably high prices. The company makes one cigar brand that sells for $700 a box, and another flavored with Cognac that retails for nearly $500 for a single cigar. A few years ago, however, the company set out in a new direction, adding new brands with more traditional pricing, and seeking out other cigar factories to make its brands under contract, expanding its portfolio. The new cigars have done well in our blind taste tests, none better than the Gurkha 125th Anniversary XO. Made at the standout PDR Factory in Tamboril, Dominican Republic, this cigar impressed us again and again in our tests. It has a lovely flavor of dried orange peel, some leather and cedar, and is a balanced smoke with no shortage of elegance. Brand owner Kaizad Hansotia dates the origin of the Gurkha name on cigars back 125 years; he bought the brand rights in the 1980s and brought Gurkhas to the United States in the 1990s. This is the first time one of his cigars has placed in our Top 25, and the best score we've ever given a Gurkha.

Halfwheel · May 7, 2014
Had the Gurkha 125th Anniversary Special Edition Corojo Toro stopped after the first two thirds, it would have gained back a good number of the points lost due to its final third. While not the most complex cigar I've ever had, it did show a good bit of balance and a unique flavor profile, one that agreed with my palate on the majority of puffs. The final third took what had been great about the first two thirds and almost completely wrecked it, shedding the sweetness and delicious wood notes and replacing them with a harsh charred wood note and piling black pepper on top of that. I'll give Gurkha plenty of credit for coming up with two-thirds of a very good cigar, but if you decide to give the 125th Anniversary Corojo a try, enter the final third at your own risk.
