Have you ever faced the problem where you are trying to buy a special gift for the man that has everything? He has designed his own house, customised his car, has every custom-made Italian suit and shoe in the market - so are you lost for ideas? I have just the gift for that special occasion.

Gurkha Cigars — a company based in Miami that makes the number one rated cigar in the world, and is known as the Rolls-Royce of cigars in the industry has introduced an ultra-lux service where they make cigars 100 percent customised to the tastes of a cigar smoker. Yes, you can now make your own personalised brand of cigar. Imagine the bragging rights that this gives a man when he gifts his own cigar brand to his cigar-smoking buddies.

If you are not familiar with cigars, you are, no doubt, wondering how much can one actually customise a cigar. All tobacco comes from Cuba and is basically the same, isn’t it? Absolutely not. Cigars can range from $1 up to $3000 per unit, and come in many sizes, shapes, flavours and strengths. There are four major factors that determine the flavour and strength of a cigar. The country and region of origin of the tobacco, the part of the tobacco plant that the leaves come from, the age of the tobacco, and whether the cigar is in its natural form or is infused.
