Gurkha: Year of the Dragon Humidor (with 80 Cigars) Cigars

The term Gurkha stems from the Anglo-Nepalese war, when British soldiers began referring to Nepali fighters as Gurkhas. The military prowess of these soldiers impressed the British so much that the Gurkhas became an official military regiment within the British Indian Army, their skill in battle and steely resolve having become legend. In the late 19th century, British soldiers began rolling their own cigars from local tobacco and named these cigars after the legendary regiment, cigars whose production continued in various ways for over a century. In 1989, Kaizad Hansotia founded Gurkha cigars in its modern iteration, expanding its reach and focusing on offering super-premium cigars that would come to be associated with an upper-echelon experience and the utmost quality.

After the release of Gurkha's Year of the Dragon cigar, which celebrated the Chinese Zodiac, the esteemed brand commissioned blends from four legendary factories to expand their Year of the Dragon offerings. These cigar makers included AJ Fernandez, EP Carillo, Oscar Valladares, and Oliva. Gurkha's Year of the Dragon Humidor collects 20 sticks from each of those commissioned blends, for a total of 80 cigars. An incredibly limited offering, the Year of the Dragon Humidor can hold up to 200 cigars and comes included with a lock and key.
