SEAL Team 6 Celebrates with Gurkha Cigar
June 4th, 2011
Posted on Mon, May. 09, 2011
/PRNewswire/ — Heading the week after a successful mission by the Special Operations Team known as the Navy SEALs, the team celebrates with a handmade luxury cigar. The military is known quite well through the premium cigar market as many cigar manufacturers support our troops overseas with product, sponsorship and encouragement. If you open any Cigar Magazine, you will note photos of our troops celebrating with a premium cigar, hoping to relax with a taste of comfort in a sometimes very uncomfortable place.
Gurkha Cigars, having a longstanding relationship with the Special Operations segments of our military released a SpecOps limited edition cigar last year, inspired by the Navy SEALs. The box of 20 sticks includes a knife and a challenge coin designed specifically for the military. Instead of a traditional cigar box, the package used is a pelican case, similar to those designed by the military to transport sensitive equipment and weapons. In this case, the fragile contents are a collection of the Gurkha Assassin, a trademarked rarity used by Gurkha Cigars for several years now. Only recently in Pakistan has the light come to shine on what the military ordinarily does quietly.
So what does SpecOps Team 6 celebrate with? A Gurkha Grand Reserve sent specially by Kaizad Hansotia, owner of Gurkha Cigars to his friends in the Navy. Gurkha has been known more recently as the world’s most expensive cigar, releasing the Black Dragon in 2007. Gurkha has the premium cigar market redefined from their $20,000 boxes of ‘HMRs’ to their special collector’s edition that demands over $150,000 for a box of cigars.
Now seen as a status symbol of luxury and the Rolls Royce of cigars, Gurkha continues to be the choice when a celebration in necessary. “Our focus has always been on exclusive, limited availability tobaccos, serving up the most unique and flavorful blends,” said Hansotia, affectionately known in the industry as ‘Kaizer.’
“When you are smoking a Gurkha you know three things: it’s expensive, it’s good, and a celebration is in order,” said Hansotia. The Gurkha brand has a long history in exclusive trade and in support of the military. Originating in India as British settlers opened trade routes; the name continues the tradition of rarities from distant lands in support of ancient warriors and today is no different. Focusing specifically on the limited and exclusive lots of cigar tobacco has caused Gurkha’s reputation to rise from a long history of premium cigars.
About Gurkha:

Gurkha – His Majesty’s Reserve Cigar
by Luxe Living on November 18, 2010
Gurkha – His Majesty’s Reserve Cigar
The high end cigar market has definitely changed over the past several years. There has been a strong emergence of U.S. based cigar companies. Legendary Gurkha cigars is clearly the leader.
The worldwide economic slump has hit the Cuban cigar industry hard, but Miami based cigar company – Gurkha, is doing quite well. Gurkha continues to be awarded some of the highest honors in the cigar industry.
Looking for the perfect gift for that man in your life or a friend, relative, co-worker, boss, etc… can be a challenge. Maybe this is the ideal gift for him.
You can’t find anything better to go along with a bottle of holiday cheer, than a limited edition, $1,500 His Majesty’s Reserve Gurkha Cigar.
The His Majesty’s Reserve cigar by Gurka or as it’s more commonly known – “HMR”, is the world’s most expensive cigar.
During the time of British rule in India, colonial soldiers began rolling their own cigars from the local tobacco. Back then, the British held a fondness for the legendary Nepalese fighters and they inspired them to name their cigars “Gurkhas.”
Since that period, Gurkha has proudly become America’s premier producer of fine tobacco products.
What makes luxury cigar maker Gurkha unique is they combine both art and taste to offer a unique, but total overall experience to the cigar consumer.
Gurkha cigars are made from the world’s finest tobaccos and spices.
Blended by Kaizad Hansotia, each Gurkha cigar is a true masterpiece that both inspires and celebrates the rich art of a hand-rolled cigar.
Many of the most famous and expensive of cigar brands sell their cigars in a plain cedar box. But unlike those other cigar companies, all fine-made Gurkha cigars come packaged in a work of art. Each Gurkha cigar container reflects the product line’s individual character and unique traits.
So whether you are a seasoned cigar aficionado or a novice smoker, an extremely unique Gurkha cigar, such as the $1,500 His Majesty’s Reserve Gurkha Cigar …. can be truly enjoyed by all.

This isn’t a spirit either, so why the inclusion here? Because the Grand Reserve luxury cigar, besides being a great way to end a holiday meal with everyone on your gift giving list, and besides being the perfect compliment no matter your after-dinner drink of choice, it is also infused with the finest cognac. A cigar that has spirits inside definitely qualifies it for this list. Think of it as a smoke-able bottle.
