GURKHA ROYAL CHALLENGE MADURO arrived in 2015 as a follow-up to the hugely successful GURKHA ROYAL CHALLENGE cigar and offers a familiar experience, with a sharp twist. They are handmade in a cigar factory in Nicaragua. It leaves the focus on the dark and exotic taste from start to finish. This cigar displays a light character with dark, semi-sweet flavors of cocoa, sweet earth, toasted oak and leather.
