Gurkha Ghost Gold Shadow Robusto Cigar – Box of 21

The Gurkha Ghost Gold Shadow Robusto features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, replacing the original Ghost blend’s Brazilian Arapiraca leaf. This golden-brown wrapper covers a Criollo ’98 binder and a tri-nation filler blend of U.S., Dominican, and Nicaraguan tobaccos aged for optimal flavor integration. Maxim magazine ranked this medium-bodied cigar #4 in its 2019 list of top cigars to smoke.

Flavor progression begins with earthy cedar and black pepper, transitioning to roasted coffee and dark chocolate mid-smoke. Secondary notes of caramel and toasted nuts emerge alongside a creamy texture, supported by consistent combustion. The 5 x 52 Robusto format delivers a 45-minute smoking session with balanced spice-sweetness interplay.
