Gurkha Master Select

The Gurkha Master Select is one of those blends that proves Gurkha’s best cigars stand the test of time. Originally released in the early 2000s and crafted in partnership with Oliva , the Master Select earned a rabid following – big flavor, well-constructed, with signature smoothness gained Gurkha many a devotee. But as with all good things, it came to an end…until Gurkha brought it back after a long hiatus. And fans couldn’t have been happier to see one of the all-time greats return to humidors.

This cigar is one of Gurkha’s most refined offerings. The blend starts with a Habano wrapper teeming with oils, giving it a naturally earthy character and a touch of rustic sweetness. Inside, there’s a core of Dominican and Mexican tobaccos fused to deliver a creamy and complex medium-bodied profile. With subtle spices, roasted nuts, cedar, and a gentle, lingering sweetness, you will be tempted to burn this blend non-stop. The best part? Master Select is so consistent, every cigar in the bundle burns evenly with thick, velvety smoke and a warm, nutty aroma. When Gurkha keeps its focus on tobacco and construction, the results can be exceptional.

This is a true “anytime” cigar – just as comfortable standing up to a full dinner and a glass of bourbon, as it is complementing an afternoon cup of coffee. The strength stays right in the pocket — never overpowering, never dull — just the “goldilocks” middle ground that longtime aficionados love, and that new smokers want to get to.

Elegant, balanced, and approachable, the Gurkha Master Select captures Gurkha at its finest - flavor, construction, all done with a touch of luxury that doesn’t shout. Every puff reminds you why this blend remains one of the true standouts in the Gurkha lineup; we’re glad it’s back, too. Order yours in convenient 5 and 10 acks from Famous Cigars!
