Few cigars can match the caliber of Gurkha handmade cigars. Considered to be some of the world’s finest and most prestigious super-premiums, the Gurkha brand represents a small-batch selection of ultra-elusive cigars that routinely receive top ratings in addition to ’Best of the Best’ honors from the Robb Report. Always pushing the envelope with exotic, high-end blends, Gurkha wowed the cigar world with the Black Dragon.
A peaty and leathery cigar from Gurkha, the Black Dragon is an exclusive Honduran blend made from select fillers, which create a rich cigar with a medium body.
The Black Dragon story began in 2006 when it hit the market with the hefty price tag of $1,150.00 per cigar, the most expensive cigar ever made. Only 5 hand-carved camel bone boxes of 100 cigars were produced, making this stick very, very limited. The blend included extremely old and rare tobaccos collected from all corners of the world. To make the Black Dragon more accessible to cigar enthusiasts throughout the world, a new version was recently released.
This new Black Dragon blend has a similar flavor and uses similar tobaccos, but does not cost nearly as much as its predecessor. Notes of earth and leather are strongly noticeable and combine nicely with a medium body that has some kick, but is not overwhelmingly powerful. Like all Gurkhas, the new Black Dragon comes packaged in extremely attractive boxes, making them look almost as good as they taste. The Gurkha Black Dragon is another exemplary addition to the Gurkha portfolio and one that can now be afforded by anyone.
