Gurkha donates 13% of its sales of Volition Cigars to Folds of Honor to fund scholarships for the families of fallen and disabled service members and first responders.
Volition America by Gurkha Cigars is built around a simple idea: three distinct blends under one shared purpose. Created in partnership with Volition America, the line ties its patriotic theme to a charitable mission, with each cigar serving as part of a broader effort to support the families of fallen and disabled military members and first responders through Folds of Honor. The project carries the patriotic theme through the full presentation, from the red, white, and blue box designs to the 13-cigar format, which nods to the 13 folds of the American flag.
Produced in Nicaragua, the Volition America lineup includes three 6" x 54 toro variations built on a similar foundation of Nicaraguan binder and a mix of Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers, with each blend differentiated by its wrapper. Volition Red uses a maduro wrapper for the fullest and richest profile of the group. Volition White turns to a Habano wrapper for a more balanced, medium-bodied experience. Volition Blue rounds out the lineup with a Connecticut wrapper, offering the smoothest and most approachable take of the three.
On the palate, the three blends are meant to cover different moods without straying too far from the line’s central character. Red appeals to those who prefer deeper notes of earth, cocoa, and heavier spice. White lands in a more centered position, offering cedar, toast, and a mix of sweetness and pepper. Blue leans creamier and softer, with gentler spice, light wood, and a smoother finish.
