Gurkha Cigars For Sale | Cellar Reserve, Ghost, His Majesty's Reserve & More

Gurkha Cigars has built one of the most recognizable brands in the premium cigar market through a combination of outstanding leaf sourcing, dramatic packaging, and a genius for creating cigars that make headlines. Whether you know Gurkha from the ultra-rare His Majesty's Reserve — one of the most expensive cigars ever made — or from the highly regarded Cellar Reserve, the brand consistently delivers premium experiences across a wide price range.

Gurkha Cigars: Luxury American Brand with World-Class Honduran and Dominican Leaf

Gurkha Cigars was founded by Prakash Waghmare and is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Despite the name — which was inspired by the legendary Gurkha soldiers of Nepal, famed for their extraordinary courage and discipline — the brand has no geographic connection to Nepal. Instead, Gurkha built its identity around the values those soldiers embodied: strength, precision, and an uncompromising commitment to excellence.

The brand's cigars are primarily produced in Honduras and the Dominican Republic, where Gurkha works closely with master blenders and farms to source aged, rare tobaccos that form the backbone of their most celebrated lines. Gurkha became internationally famous in the early 2000s when Waghmare introduced the His Majesty's Reserve — a cognac-infused cigar sold in bejeweled boxes for approximately $1,000 per stick. That release established Gurkha as the ultimate luxury cigar brand and created a loyal following of collectors, celebrities, and serious aficionados. Today the portfolio ranges from accessible everyday cigars to limited-run collector pieces, with the core premium lines sitting in the $15-$30 per cigar range.

Gurkha Cigar Lines Available at Sun of a Gun

Gurkha Cellar Reserve

The Cellar Reserve is widely considered the jewel of the standard Gurkha portfolio — a blend using 15-year-aged tobaccos from Honduras wrapped in an Ecuadorian Habano Natural wrapper. The result is a remarkably complex medium-to-full-bodied cigar with notes of dark chocolate, aged leather, espresso, and a long, sweet finish that reveals the depth of properly rested leaf. Available in Robusto, Toro, and Churchill, the Cellar Reserve offers exceptional value for the quality of tobacco used.

Gurkha Ghost

Gurkha Ghost is a bold, full-bodied Honduran puro — all Honduran leaf from wrapper to filler — that has become a favorite among smokers who prefer maximum strength and intensity. The Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper delivers notes of dark cocoa, black pepper, coffee, and earth, with a thick, oily smoke that fills the room. The Ghost is not for beginners, but for experienced smokers seeking a powerful, characterful cigar, it delivers an unforgettable experience at a reasonable price point.

Gurkha His Majesty's Reserve

His Majesty's Reserve is the most famous Gurkha release and one of the most talked-about cigars in the world. Each cigar was infused with Louis XIII cognac — one of the world's most expensive spirits — and presented in hand-carved Spanish cedar boxes adorned with precious stones. While largely a collector's piece and brand statement, the cigar itself delivers a luxurious experience: a Dominican and Honduran blend with cognac notes layered over cedar, vanilla, and spice. It cemented Gurkha's reputation as the ultimate luxury cigar brand.

Gurkha Crest

The Gurkha Crest is the brand's flagship everyday premium — a medium-bodied Honduran blend wrapped in an Ecuadorian Natural wrapper that delivers a smooth, consistent smoke with notes of cream, cedar, toasted nuts, and a light pepper finish. It's the cigar Gurkha recommends as the ideal introduction to their portfolio — accessible enough for newer smokers, complex enough to satisfy veterans. Construction is typically excellent, with a firm draw and even burn throughout.

Gurkha Beauty

The Gurkha Beauty is a lighter, more approachable offering in the Gurkha lineup — a mild-to-medium blend using Dominican tobaccos wrapped in an Ecuadorian Connecticut shade. Notes of hay, cream, cashew, and subtle citrus make it an excellent morning or daytime smoke. The Beauty is popular as a gift cigar and with smokers who prefer elegance over intensity. The packaging is characteristically Gurkha — refined and attention-grabbing without being ostentatious.

Gurkha Cigars FAQ

Where are Gurkha cigars made?

It became famous as a symbol of extreme luxury in the cigar world. While most Gurkha lines are far more accessible, the brand built its reputation partly on these headline-grabbing ultra-premium releases.
