by Shrutee K/DNS
Thursday, 12th May 2016: At a
glittering ceremony this evening, Sofitel Mumbai BKC in association with Gurkha Cigars announced the opening of its Cigar Lounge at Artisan. The Cigar
Lounge was inaugurated by Mr. Anish Trivedi - a prominent radio and theatre
personality and a cigar enthusiast himself, in the presence of Mr. Biswajit
Chakraborty - General Manager of Sofitel Mumbai BKC and Mr. Danny Carroll - Brand
Ambassador India of Gurkha Cigars. The eclectic guest list was privy to some of
the finest cigars along with exquisite glasses of single malts. Set amidst
luxurious settings, the Cigar Lounge opens out to a lush garden where guests were
also seen enjoying their cigars.
The
most unique feature of this brand new Cigar Lounge is Gurkha’s ‘His Majesty’s
Reserve’ (HMR). His Majesty’s Reserve is a rare and special medium full bodied
cigar and is known as the world’s most expensive cigar. HMR is infused with a
40 year old Louis XIII Cognac that costs $3,000 a bottle and an entire bottle
is used to make one box of HMR cigars.
Cellar
Reserve on the other hand, uses the finest 15-year old tobacco, comprised of an
oily Criollo 1998 wrapper that combines an aged Dominican, Olor binder with a
15-year filler. These cigars are housed in unique wooden boxes that
aesthetically evoke a maturing wine barrel at the lounge. The Cigar Lounge also
saw aficionados partaking in rolled up blends of ten other premium labels under
the Gurkha umbrella -the flavours, textures and blends of which were
appreciated by guests.
Mr.
Biswajit Chakraborty, General Manager, Sofitel Mumbai BKC, said “Being a cigar
aficionado myself, it is my privilege to bring an urbane lounge for all cigar
enthusiasts in the city. Over the years, Sofitel Mumbai BKC has become the hub
for unique luxury experiences and keeping this in mind, we have launched the
Cigar Lounge for the discerning customer to unwind with internationally acclaimed
cigars in a sophisticated environment.”
