The Gurkha Royal Challenge Robusto Cigar features a Connecticut/Ecuadorian shade wrapper aged for a silky texture. Its construction combines a Habano/Honduran binder with Nicaraguan and Dominican filler tobaccos, creating a mild to medium-bodied profile. The blend transitions from initial spicy pepper notes to creamy textures with evolving flavors of coffee and dark chocolate.
Nicaraguan long-filler leaves form the core of this 5x50 Robusto, paired with a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper that contributes to balanced combustion. The cigar delivers consistent earthy undertones with subtle citrus sweetness, supported by a firm ash and even burn. Secondary flavors include roasted nuts and wood accents, maintained through a draw optimized for smoke output.
Key components:
- Wrapper: Nicaraguan Habano (outer layer) / Connecticut-Ecuadorian hybrid (primary)
- Binder: Honduran-grown Habano leaf
- Filler: Nicaraguan Ometepe & Dominican Piloto Cubano tobaccos
Designed for 45-60 minute smoking sessions, the Gurkha Royal Challenge Robusto uses a multi-regional tobacco selection. The cigar’s complexity stems from its dual-wrapper approach and fermented filler leaves aged in bales for 3-5 years. This construction method ensures flavor stability across the smoking experience.
