When selecting the Gurkha Black Dragon as
Robb Report’s 2008 Best of the Best cigar, our judges called it a "move toward milder, better-balanced, more distinctive blends." Responding to feedback from customers who liked the cigar but wanted something a bit stronger, the company created the
Gurkha Black Dragon Fury (
www.gurkhacigars.com). This heady blend of Nicaraguan and Peruvian filler tobaccos, Nicaraguan and Cameroon binder, and Connecticut maduro wrapper delivers exotic notes like saffron and nutmeg—but with a stronger punch and a spicier finish than the original. Gurkha is making the Fury in an annual limited edition of 1,000 30-?cigar boxes, each priced at $400.
