Gurkha Cigars has released the following statement on the resignation of Kaizad Hansotia: \u201cKaizad Hansotia is resigning his position as the Chairman of Gurkha, effective immediately. Jim Colucci will assume the role of CEO and President of the company.\u00a0 Mr. Colucci has been with Gurkha since January 1, 2019 when he assumed full operational control.\u00a0 In addition, once our current packaging inventory is depleted, future packaging will no longer bear the name K. Hansotia.\u00a0 At Gurkha, we believe smoking a cigar should always be an enjoyable and unifying experience.<\/p>\n
We are outraged and saddened at the content of previous posts made on Mr. Hansotia\u2019s personal social media accounts.\u00a0 These in no way reflect the position or beliefs of the company, its founding mission or its employees.\u00a0 We stand in solidarity against racism and for racial justice.\u00a0 We cannot and will not tolerate words or acts of hate, injustice or oppression.<\/p>\n
We understand that because of the actions of our founder, we must work to regain the trust of our customers and cigar community.\u00a0 We look forward to working toward this goal together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
