Cigar ID - Gurkha people, help a brother out

[Hot Stuff x]

This cigar was gifted to me from a friend, not sure if he knew what it was.

Can anyone tell me what I have here? It is a toro with what appears to be a maduro wrapper.

It appears to be the Centurian which are Great

I though the centurion had a Connecticut shade wrapper on it.

I am pretty sure that that is a Grand Reserve Maduro. I had a couple of those and that looks like it.

The Centurian does have a Connecticut wrapper, but I have only seen them as perfectos.

I am a Gurkha nut and it appears to be the Grand Reserve as well but you'd almost have to measure it by length and RG to be really sure.

They make the centurion in a 5.75 x 52 these shades of wrapper are connecticut however can be very dark as the ones I just got are but it could be the grand reserve it could also be the dragonsfire.

Whatever it is, it's a Gurkha and will own you!!

Gurkha has the most confusing line of cigars. Thankfully the majority are pretty good.

I have about 7 of these in my humi and got them from cbid. Funny thing is that for the life of me, I can't remember the name. I got them last year in a 10pk. I think they are the Grand Reserve. Look on cbid to see if there are any. They always have a ton of Gurka's for sale there.

My guess is it's the Master Select line. The Grand Reserve cigars all come individually encased in glass tubes.


The delicious Gurkha Master’s Select cigars are hand-rolled from fine tobaccos grown in the Cibao Valley of the Dominican Republic, expertly blended with an aged mixture of Nicaraguan and Honduran long-fillers. The gorgeous, dark, silky Habana 2000 wrapper imparts a rich, creamy flavor with a hint of spice and pleasant, finish with a burst of flavor

The Master’s Select series offers terrfic shapes, incredibly attractive wrappers, and each limited edition, numbered box closely resembles the great pre-embargo Cuban packaging. The cigars are tied together inside a gorgeous mahogany chest. Quite simply, this is a magnificent cigar with a super-smooth taste.

Master Selects tend to have cedar wrapped around them though.

Thats still my guess, just with the cedar missing. looks too dark to be a Grand Reserve. and I can't seem to find any other matching labels.

I think you're right. The assortment I have leave me to assume the red bands are Master Selects. It's funny that only a few are labeled so they can be identified easily.
