Description
The Gurkha Royal Challenge – XO (Gordo) delivers a smooth and creamy smoking experience in a large, generous format. As the biggest vitola in the series, it offers a cool, voluminous draw and an exceptionally even burn. The light Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper gives the cigar a refined, silky appearance.
Inside, a balanced blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos, combined with a Honduran binder, creates an approachable and harmonious flavor profile. The large ring gauge enhances smoothness and creaminess.
Flavor notes are mild, featuring wood, nuts, and toasted nuances, complemented by a creamy texture and subtle sweetness.
