Gurkha Legend is a cigar that certainly lives up to its name, as it's probably the most famous of all that Gurkha has offered over the years, and that is no small statement. Made in the Dominican Republic under the supervision of renowned mastermind Kaizad Hansotia, Gurkha Legend is the epitome of all that Gurkha stands for. It has become synonymous with quality, value, and flavor, and has stood the test of time. Countless cigar connoisseurs have enjoyed it, many publications have raved about it. It is just a cigar for the ages, and that simply can't be refuted. Legend consists of a smooth blend of Dominican fillers inside a genuine Cameroon binder. The package is topped off with a golden Connecticut wrapper leaf, making a medium-bodied masterpiece that's both refined and unique. As if that was not enough, it is fascinating to note that the premium tobaccos used in Legend are aged no less than 8 full years for maximum smokability.
