Gurkha Nautilus Toro 6" * 52

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 Nautilus, a more accessible cigar, offered in four standard sizes and packaged in very modern and beautiful tin boxes of 20. The Nautilus Toro is a medium to full bodied cigar in a Nicaraguan Habana 2000 wrapper, a double binder of Domincan and Nicaraguan leaves and Nicaraguan and Honduran filler leaves.

The Jamastran Valley is known for producing a full-bodied tobacco that draws strong comparisons to the tobacco grown in the Pinar del Rio region of Cuba.

• Cigar Wrapper
  H2000

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  Habana 2000 or H2000, is a hybrid between El Corojo, Cuba's standard wrapper leaf last cultivated in the 90s, and a cigarette tobacco called Bell 61-10. Cuban cigar growers crossed these two tobaccos in order to get a wrapper leaf that would be more resistant to disease than the Corojo was. Although its introduction was controversial and the leaf was not widely accepted, its quality has improved over time and it is now being cultivated with success outside of Cuba as well.
• Cigar Binder
  Dominican Republic

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Dominican Republic is a traditional tobacco-growing country. In the 60's, a Cuban seed was introduced and the resulting tobacco, called Piloto Cubano, became famous as a good substitute of the Cuban tobacco that was no longer allowed to enter the USA. Piloto Cubano is full bodied while the Dominican Olor tobacco is milder but more aromatic.

  Nicaragua

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
• Cigar Filler
