Gurkha Havana Legend Torpedo 6"1/2 * 53

Highly recognized among cigar smokers, Gurkha has been sold at prices too high for most cigar aficionados…until now. Kaisad Hansotia has just launched the Gurkha Havana Legend, a more accessible cigar, offered in four standard sizes and packaged in very modern and beautiful tin boxes of 20. The Havana Legend Torpedo is a similar cigar to the Gurkha Beast or Titan, which retails at around $30 per cigar, a full bodied smoke with Nicaraguan wrapper, Cameroon binder and flavorful Peruvian filler for the seasoned cigar aficionado who loves an extra full bodied taste.

  The Gurkha brand has always been synonymous of one-of-a-kind experience that appeals to all senses, from the beauty, taste and excellent craftsmanship of every cigar, to the spectacular packaging. Looking to further expand their appeal, three new lines have been launched in 2009, packaged in beautiful embossed tins of 20, and at the lowest price you will find for a genuine Gurkha. One of these lines, the Gurkha Havana Legend is a full bodied smoke and "not for the novice".

  Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
