Gurkha Cigar Group, Inc. has announced that it has four more Gurkha Year of the Dragon cigars, each made by a different factory.
They are part of what the company is describing as a five-part series. The first of the cigars was released last December, a 6 3/4 x 52 figurado made by El Artista.
At the time, the company made no mention of any subsequent releases, but there will be four more.
- Gurkha Year of the Dragon 2024 (AJ Fernandez) (6 5/8 x 52) — February 2024
- Gurkha Year of the Dragon 2024 (Tabacalera La Alianza S.A.) (6 5/8 x 54) — April 2024
- Gurkha Year of the Dragon 2024 (Oliva) (6 1/2 x 60) — June 2024
- Gurkha Year of the Dragon 2024 (Oscar Valladares) (6 x 52) — TBA
Gurkha says blend and pricing info about each cigar will be announced once they are shipping.
Each blend will come in a 10-count box of a different color that the company says can also be used as a humidor. The AJ Fernandez release is box-pressed and comes in green boxes, the Tabacalera La Alianza S.A.-made cigar comes in a black box, the Oliva-made cigar comes in an orange box, and the Oscar Valladares-made cigar comes in a yellow box. Each is limited to 2,000 boxes.
“We are extremely excited about this project,” says Juan Lopez, VP of Sales for Gurkha Cigars. “It 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’t wait to show everyone the finished product.”
In addition, Gurkha says the four aforementioned cigars will come in a special limited edition humidor. Those will contain 20 of each of the four new releases; it does not appear that the El Artista-made cigar will be included in the humidor, which is designed to hold 200 cigars. Pricing and production numbers for the humidor have not been announced, it will be shown off at the 2024 PCA Convention & Trade Show next month.
