Gurkha Status

Gurkha Status is a Honduras-produced Connecticut shade line, mild-to-medium in body and aimed at the accessible end of the premium Gurkha catalog. The all-Dominican filler and binder under a Connecticut shade wrapper delivers the smooth, creamy character associated with that leaf, and two vitolas are offered at prices around $13, making Status one of the more approachable entry points in the Gurkha portfolio. The name suggests a step up in prestige from the everyday range while staying accessible to a broad audience.
