The latest cigar in the Gurhka Legend series is the Beauty, a medium-bodied cigar which is a mate to last year's full-bodied Gurkha Beast. The Beauty boasts a golden Ecuadorean-grown Connecticut Shade wrapper and has a Dominican binder and a Nicaraguan filler. The 6-1/2 x 58 cigar has a wrapper that is aged a full seven years and the binder and filler are five years old. The Beauty comes in a box of 25 with engraved brass plaques inside and out and each cigar is encased in a frosted glass tube with an orange cap. The cigars are double-banded and sheathed in cedar from the Beauty band to the foot. A box sells for a hefty. $770 and there will only be 500 boxes created each year.
