Box of 20 Gurkha Triad Cigars
At the height of the British rule in India, colonial soldiers made their own cigars from the local tobacco. The fondness of the British for these legendary Nepalese fighters inspired them to name their cigars “Gurkhas.” Steeped in legend and history, the Gurkha cigars, have been reborn and remain true to their roots in faraway India. Today, the legend lives on in the premium brand cigars “Gurkha.” The Triad Platinum is incredibly unique and delicious. Unheard of in the cigar industry, the Triad Platinum has a dark and oily, with amazing spiciness, 10-year CT Maduro wrapper with an 8-year Cameroon Binder which gives the Platinum an overwhelming taste that will tantalize your palate. Not to be out done, the 8-year Dominican Binder will just knock your socks off with complexity. So rare of a cigar, only 300 boxes could be made for the world! Be the distinctive owner of this 20-count box of world-class cigars, and share them with your boss or clients.
