Description

The Gurkha Cellar Reserve 12 Year Old Solara cigar, a luxurious Double Robusto vitola measuring precisely 5 inches in length with a 58 ring gauge, showcases an exquisite oily Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and 12-year-aged filler tobaccos from premium Condega and Estelí estates. This medium-bodied Nicaraguan puro delivers a captivating symphony of flavours: initial sweet nuttiness and creamy cocoa evolve into robust coffee, earthy cedar, supple leather, and a spicy black pepper crescendo on the retrohale, yielding voluminous smoke and seamless transitions over an 85-minute contemplative burn. Meticulously aged in humidified cellars mirroring fine wine maturation, it boasts flawless construction with a razor-sharp draw, cool temperature, and resilient ash cone, embodying Gurkha’s pioneering spirit as their inaugural Nicaraguan Cellar Reserve blend. Packaged in elegant wine-barrel-inspired boxes, the Solara evokes timeless sophistication for collectors and connoisseurs. Acclaimed with an 89-point Cigar Aficionado rating, it pairs sublimely with peaty Scotch whiskies, bold bourbons, or rich espressos, offering balanced complexity from gentle opening sweetness to a lingering, spicy finale. A rare gem for special occasions, it underscores premium tobacco artistry and exclusivity in every refined puff.
