At the Tobacco Plus Expo (TPE) 2020, Gurkha Cigars will unveil a Maduro version to its Prize Fighter bundle lines.
The original Prize Fighter line was introduced in 2013 as a value-priced, Cuban sandwich cigar priced under $2.00 per cigar. The original Prize Fighter features an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. Prize Fighter Maduro features a Maduro wrapper over a Sumatra binder and a combination of Dominican long and short filler.
The cigars will be made available in three sizes (Robusto, Toro, and 6 x 60) and packaged in 20-count bundles, 60-count/3 compartment trays, and specially designed fresh-lock pouches (5 cigars per pouch/8 pouch outer).
Gurkha is one of many premium cigar companies unveiling new products at TPE. This year, TPE has offered incentives for brands to introduce new products at this year’s trade show. TPE 2020 opens January 29, 2020, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
