Gurkha Cigars Royal Challenge
Ranked in our Best Cheap Cigars Under $5 GuideA silky, mild-to-medium-bodied everyday luxury, Gurkha Royal Challenge is handcrafted in the Dominican Republic. Wrapped in a pristine Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade leaf over a dual Honduran Habano and Dominican binder with Dominican-Nicaraguan fillers, it treats the palate to a creamy smoke filled with toasted brioche, fragrant cedar, brewed coffee, sweet cream, and black pepper.
