Description
The Gurkha Cellar Reserve 12 Years Kraken XO is a bold and imposing vitola within the acclaimed Cellar Reserve Platinum series. Designed for those who appreciate a long, indulgent smoking session, the "Kraken" format utilizes a substantial ring gauge to deliver a cool, voluminous, and flavor-packed experience that highlights the benefits of extended aging.
This blend features a dark, oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper that has been meticulously aged to achieve a refined character. It encases a matured Dominican Olor binder and a rich core of premium Dominican fillers that have been aged for a full 12 years. This remarkable aging process rounds out the profile, offering a smooth complexity that is rarely found in cigars of this strength and size.
The flavor profile of the Kraken XO is medium-to-full-bodied, characterized by a sophisticated interplay of aged oak, dark cocoa, and roasted nuts. Subtle notes of spice and a lingering sweetness emerge as the cigar progresses, providing a balanced and deeply satisfying smoke. True to the Cellar Reserve aesthetic, the cigar features the signature "pigtail" cap and is presented in Gurkha’s iconic wooden crate-style packaging.
