When it comes to providing premium quality at incredible value, the Royal Challenge by Gurkha is indeed a challenge to beat. This Nicaraguan cigar contains a Habano Honduran binder and fillers hailing from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. The Gurkha Royal Challenge Maduro with its broadleaf maduro wrapper gives you a sweet and spicy full-bodied experience simmering in cocoa, leather and espresso notes. One of Gurkha's best selling lines, you'll be astonished by the complexity offered by the Royal Challenge, and even more so when you glance at the price tag.

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
USA Connecticut Broadleaf
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Connecticut Broadleaf is grown in the United States' Connecticut Valley and is prized for its dark, oily, full flavored and aromatic characteristics. The plants are grown in full sun giving this cigar wrapper its characteristic sweetness. The Connecticut Broadleaf plant leaves are mainly processed as maduro tobacco. Today, Connecticut Broadleaf seeds are being grown in other countries besides the United States.
Binder
Honduras
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar and bind the filler tobaccos together. Honduran tobacco is known for being full-bodied. Cigars produced in Honduras are regarded for their consistency and quality. Using Honduran tobacco as a binder will add to the cigar’s overall strength and flavor profile.
Filler
Dominican Republic
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Filler (or “tripa” in Spanish) is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar. The Dominican Republic is considered one of the most premier tobacco growing countries in the world. The filler tobacco grown in this Caribbean island nation ranges from mild to full bodied. Olor Dominicano and Piloto Cubano are the main types of tobacco grown in the Dominican Republic.
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
Gurkha Cigars
Gurkha Cigars is owned by its owner, Kaizad Hansotia. Gurkha does not own a cigar factory but have their cigars made at different factories in Central America and the Caribbean.

ok stick

Just an OK smoke, not worth the price.

Gavin09/11/2020About: Gurkha Royal Challenge Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

Looks great coming out of the wrapper. Aroma off the foot is good and somewhat deceiving. It smells better than it tastes! Flavour isn’t bad, just “thinner” than I’d expected. Had to touch it up once or twice. Pretty good smoke. Not my cup of tea.

Adan S.08/26/2020About: Gurkha Royal Challenge Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

A good one from Gurkha. Enjoyed the flavors.

Chris H.08/25/2018About: Gurkha Royal Challenge Maduro Toro 6" * 50

I enjoy the light wrapper RC's so I had high hopes for this maduro. Nothing wrong with the quality but was expecting a little more flavor and smoke. will probably give this another chance since I typically enjoy Gurkha's but based on my expectation level this one left me a little disappointed.

Kenneth R.07/06/2018About: Gurkha Royal Challenge Maduro XO 6" * 60

good smoke.

Corey D.06/24/2018About: Gurkha Royal Challenge Maduro XO 6" * 60

A must have in your collection

Jeffrey David G.05/05/2018About: Gurkha Royal Challenge Maduro Toro 6" * 50

Very good cigar, even better after a month in my humidor at 72% then a slight sweetness came through. Rolled just right, an abundance of smoke, and a rich flavor. A couple of re-light corrections necessary but only on one of the three I ordered. Solid 87-88 quality, I would buy again.

Timothy P.04/27/2018About: Gurkha Royal Challenge Maduro Toro 6" * 50

A little weak for me but overall a good stick!

Tammy W.04/06/2018About: Gurkha Royal Challenge Maduro XO 6" * 60

I enjoyed this one a lot. Great smoke.

Enrico S.04/05/2018About: Gurkha Royal Challenge Maduro Toro 6" * 50

This is a great smoke for the price and it is a Gurkha so you'll know you're getting quality and consistency. Easy earthy smoke with a pink of spice and easy draw.

Timothy P.01/29/2018About: Gurkha Royal Challenge Maduro Robusto 5" * 50

This was a really good cigar but it burned really fast. It was gone before I knew it.
