Gurkha announced several new projects at this year\u2019s trade show.<\/p>\n
The first project in the lineup, as promised at last year\u2019s convention, is the 35th Anniversary<\/strong> housed in a 10 count box. In 2023, Gurkha announced the celebration of their 35th Anniversary in 2024 with a limited edition collector\u2019s Ferrari red humidor housing 75 cigars inside. Continuing the brand that was received so well, Gurkha is now releasing the 35th Anniversary in a 10 count box. \u201cAfter the huge success we had introducing the product in a humidor last year, we\u2019re finally able to release the 10 count Gurkha 35th Anniversary in it\u2019s 10 count format,\u201d commented Juan Lopez, VP of Sales for Gurkha Cigars. Made with El Artista Cigars, Gurkha\u2019s 35th Anniversary can be found in three vitolas: Toro, Pir\u00e1mide, and Figurado, with an MSRP of $10.95-$11.95 per cigar. \u201cThe 35th Anniversary has a medium body, it\u2019s complex and elegant, with a lot of earthiness and nuttiness and a long cool finish,\u201d said Lopez. \u201cJust about everyone who\u2019s tried it has found it to be a hit.\u201d<\/p>\n The second release from Gurkha Cigars is also not a stranger, as its debut was made in 2023 as the TAA Exclusive. \u201cAfter releasing to the TAA Membership and the great feedback we got from them, we decided to release this mainstream,\u201d mentioned Juan Lopez. Also housed in 10 count boxes, the Colecci\u00f3n Especial Nicaragua<\/strong> is a friend to the Colecci\u00f3n Especial released in 2022. While the original has a hybrid Connecticut wrapper and is made out of the Dominican Republic, the Colecci\u00f3n Especial Nicaragua is a Nicaraguan Puro made in Nicaragua. The blend has a lot of earthiness and nuttiness with a beautiful sweet wrapper. Released in two vitals: Toro and Pir\u00e1mide, the Colecci\u00f3n Especial Nicaragua boasts a $14.95 MSRP. \u201cThis was the first time we released a Pir\u00e1mide shape when we released to the TAA last year. The Torpedo is hand made with a sharper point to create our first Pir\u00e1mide in our portfolio and after the tremendous success with the TAA in 2023, we decided to keep it going,\u201d said Lopez.<\/p>\n Gurkha\u2019s third project for release is sure to pack a punch to the market. The Tyson 2.0 Undisputed<\/strong> is a collaboration between Gurkha Cigars and LGNDS. There are two different blends being released from the Tyson 2.0 Undisputed line: Maduro, which is encased in a black top box, and Habano, which is encased in a gold metallic box. Each box is completely unique and like nothing you\u2019ve seen before. The Tyson 2.0 Undisputed by Gurkha Cigars is made with El Artista Cigars and has an MSRP of $19.00-$19.90. \u201cOur collaboration with Mike Tyson and his teams at LGNDS and Carma HoldCo is a very unique one. We believe we\u2019ve chosen the perfect blends together to represent the Tyson 2.0 brand,\u201d commented Jim Colucci, President of Gurkha Cigars. \u201cWhat\u2019s even better is that we can expect to see Mike Tyson make an appearance at the trade show.\u201d The Tyson 2.0 Undisputed by Gurkha Cigars are medium body, full flavor blends. The Habano has earthy notes with some pepper, toast, and spiciness; and the Maduro boasts the sweet San Andres wrapper while drawing in dark chocolate and peppery spices. Sozon Lyras of Lgnds commented, \u201cWe are equally as excited about the collaboration with Gurkha Cigar Group. We look forward to launching this amongst many other future projects together under the Tyson 2.0 brand.\u201d<\/p>\n Finally, Gurkha\u2019s proud to be able to showcase the Year of the Dragon<\/strong> in it\u2019s entirety for the very first time. The project\u2019s announcement went out in January as an addition to the 15 Count Red Year of the Dragon pre-released in 2023 that began shipping to customer\u2019s stateside in December. Only available in the U.S. Market, Gurkha\u2019s Year of the Dragon is set to showcase a numbered, collector\u2019s edition, 200 count humidor and four special projects made with some modern day legends in the cigar industry. Gurkha Cigar Group partnered with AJ Fernandez to create a 6 5\/8×52 box pressed cigar in a 10 count commemorative green box set to ship following the PCA Trade Show. The next collaboration will release in April and is a 10 count black commemorative box, 6 5\/8×54 toro cigar by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. Oliva Cigar Company is making Gurkha\u2019s next collaboration that is set to ship in June in a 10 count, 6 1\/2×60 Figurado cigar, orange commemorative box. The final installment of Gurkha\u2019s Year of the Dragon will be made by Oscar Valladares in a 10 count, 6×52 toro cigar, yellow commemorative box. \u201cWe are extremely excited about this project,\u201d says Juan Lopez, VP of Sales for Gurkha Cigars. \u201cIt truly feels like a one of a kind opportunity to release and work with these modern day legends of the industry. My team and I are excited to share this with the cigar smoking community and can\u2019t wait to show everyone the finished product.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Gurkha announced several new projects at this year\u2019s trade show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":67298,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[49,55,2812,44],"tags":[9315,9314,1459,9313],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67284"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67284"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67284\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67300,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67284\/revisions\/67300"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
