Gurkha Cigars has announced it is shipping the Gurkha Year of the Dragon by Oliva Cigar Company. This is the third of a four-cigar collaboration series by Gurkha Cigars, which is themed for China’s Year of the Dragon.
At the 2024 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, Gurkha debuted the Year of the Dragon series. Each of the four cigars was done with a different, well-known manufacturing partner. Each release has a different blend, size, and color for its packaging scheme. The releases include:
- AJ Fernandez (6 5/8 x 52 Box Pressed, Green Commemorative Box, Ten-count)
- E.P. Carrillo (Casa Carrillo) (6 5/8 x 54 Toro, Black Commemorative Box, Ten-count)
- Oliva Cigar Company (6 1/2 x 60, Orange Commemorative Box, Ten-count)
- Oscar Valladares (6 x 52, Yellow Commemorative Box, Ten-count)
Gurkha has shipped the AJ Fernandez and Ernesto Perez-Carrillo collaborations. The Oscar Valladares collaboration is due to ship later this year. In 2023, Gurkha released a Year of the Dragon cigar with El Artista.
The Gurkha Year of the Dragon by Oliva Cigar Co. is a 6 1/2 x 60 Salomon housed in a ten-count Year of the Dragon Collector’s Edition humidor. It features a San Andres wrapper, a Cameroon binder, and a Nicaraguan filler. The Gurkha Year of the Dragon by Oliva Cigar Co. is made in Nicaragua at the Oliva Cigar factory.
The cigar is priced at $25.00 MSRP, as is the rest of the collection.
