Gurkha Ghost Gold Exorcist Cigar – Box of 21

The Gurkha Ghost Gold Exorcist Cigar uses an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper leaf with visible oil content, replacing the Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper from the original Ghost blend. A Criollo ’98 binder secures filler tobaccos grown in the U.S., Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua. This 6 x 60 Gordo vitola contains aged leaves from these regions, contributing to its structural integrity.

Flavor Development & Performance

Initial draws reveal cedar and roasted nut characteristics, followed by caramel sweetness. Mid-profile transitions introduce cocoa powder and espresso notes, accompanied by detectable cinnamon and black pepper spices. The final third emphasizes earth and leather tones with persistent pepper warmth. The combustion pattern maintains consistency, producing compact ash and minimal relights.

Recognition & Smoking Characteristics

Maxim magazine ranked this cigar #4 in their May 2019 list of recommended smokes. Its medium-to-full body derives from Dominican and Nicaraguan filler primings, balanced by U.S.-grown tobacco for sweetness. The 21-count box packaging aligns with the cigar’s 60-ring gauge dimensions, designed for extended smoking sessions.
