Privada Storytelling
The Phantom of Flavor
Gurkha Ghost is more than just blur of dark wrapper and flashy band—this is a blend with hidden depth. Under that shiny, haunting exterior lies a multi‑layered smoke that reveals itself slowly: sweet yet grounded, creamy yet spicy. It’s a smoke that doesn’t reveal its secrets too fast, earning its name by lingering in your memory like a friendly specter. Ghost is built for those who appreciate subtle complexity beneath bold presentation.

Wrapped in boutique-level complexity, it offers more than visual flair—it delivers thoughtful depth, nuanced spice, and creamy sweetness throughout the smoke. This is the kind of boutique-backed showpiece that Privada’s lineup embraces.
